Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)
The comprehensive cost required to acquire a single paying customer, factoring in media spend, team overhead, and software.
In-Depth Overview
Customer Acquisition Cost is the cornerstone unit economic metric for scaling businesses. Unlike simple Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) on an ad platform, true Blended CAC incorporates all creative production, platform fees, agency retainers, and media costs to calculate sustainable acquisition efficiency.
If an enterprise SaaS company incurs £50,000 in blended marketing expenditure across 30 days and closes 50 enterprise clients, their blended CAC is £1,000.
Tracking CAC alongside Lifetime Value (LTV) determines how aggressively a company can deploy growth capital while maintaining unit profitability.
