Cost of Customer Acquisition (CAC)The CAC (Cost of Customer Acquisition) for an online shop is the amount it costs to acquire new customers and return old ones.
These are the costs associated with marketing campaigns, advertising, promotion of: 1) website, 2) search engines, 3) contextual advertising, 4) email newsletters, 5) content marketing, 6) SMM, 7) targeted advertising, 8) influence marketing. To understand which channel is most effective, the CAC is calculated separately for each channel. By knowing the CAC, a shop can decide which marketing channels to focus on to maximise customer acquisition at the lowest cost.
CAC = total marketing and sales spend / number of new customers
Tracking CAC:
- Allows you to determine how much time and resources it takes to recoup your investment in marketing and new customer acquisition.
- CAC is an indicator of "customer quality" and the effectiveness of the advertising channel: a high CAC may indicate lower quality traffic.
Customer conversion rateIt is important to track how many of your leads have made purchases and converted into customers. The customer conversion rate is a metric that reflects the percentage between the number of online store visitors who made a purchase and the total number of visitors over a given period of time at different stages of the sales funnel.
Conversion rate = (number of purchases / total number of visitors) x 100%.
A high conversion rate indicates that the shop is running efficiently and that you are attracting the right audience. A low lead conversion rate may indicate problems in your marketing and sales cycle. By knowing your conversion rate, an online store can predict future sales and revenue.
If the cost of acquiring your customers is high compared to their lifetime value, it may be time to rethink your strategy. TON OP doo ltd's platform will help you streamline processes, increase productivity and take your business to the next level.
