What is Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)?

Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) is the total cost of acquiring a new customer, including all marketing and sales expenses. It helps businesses understand how much they spend to gain each customer and optimize their marketing budget.

How do you calculate CAC?

CAC is calculated by dividing total marketing and sales costs by the number of new customers acquired in a given period. Formula: CAC = (Total Marketing Spend + Sales Costs) / Number of New Customers.

What is a good CAC for D2C brands?

A good CAC varies by industry, but generally, your Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) should be at least 3x your CAC. For D2C brands, CAC typically ranges from ₹500 to ₹3000 depending on the product category and average order value.

How can I reduce my CAC?

Reduce CAC by optimizing ad targeting, improving conversion rates, leveraging organic channels, implementing referral programs, retargeting existing customers, and focusing on high-performing marketing channels.
