Customer acquisition cost (CAC) is often miscalculated by focusing on individual channel metrics, leading to incorrect budget allocations and growth projections. This siloed approach misses the complexity of customer journeys, where multiple channels contribute to a single acquisition. Accurate CAC requires understanding blended and true CAC, which takes into account the combination of all marketing channels. Blended CAC provides insight into overall marketing effectiveness by dividing total marketing spend by the total number of new customers acquired, offering a more accurate financial measure for decision-makers.
Many companies calculate their customer acquisition cost (CAC) by focusing only on individual channel metrics, leading to inaccurate overall CAC calculations and misallocated resources.
Traditional customer acquisition cost calculations often isolate each marketing channel, neglecting the complex, multi-channel journeys customers take to discover and engage with a brand.
To obtain an accurate customer acquisition cost, blending all marketing efforts into a single metric provides a clearer picture of overall marketing effectiveness and resource allocation.
Blended CAC provides a holistic view of acquisition costs, calculated by dividing total marketing spend by the total number of new customers acquired, ensuring better budget planning.
