Frequently asked questions
What is Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)?
CAC is the total cost of acquiring a new customer, including all marketing and sales expenses. It is calculated by dividing total acquisition spend by the number of new customers gained in a given period.
What is a good CAC?
A good CAC varies by industry. For SaaS, a CAC under $200 is generally healthy. For e-commerce, under $50 is strong. The key metric is your LTV:CAC ratio — ideally 3:1 or higher.
What factors affect CAC?
CAC is influenced by advertising costs, sales team salaries, marketing tools, content production, and conversion rates. Improving targeting and conversion funnels typically lowers CAC.
How can I reduce my CAC?
Reduce CAC by optimizing ad targeting, improving website conversion rates, leveraging referral programs, investing in organic content marketing, and streamlining your sales process.
