CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost)

The total cost to acquire one new customer. Includes marketing spend, sales costs, and operational expenses divided by number of new customers.

Example

Bear Grips spends $500 on Facebook ads and gets 5 new vendor signups. CAC = $100 per vendor. If CLV is $1,500+, that's a 15x return.

Why It Matters

Keeping CAC below CLV is essential for sustainable growth. Organic channels (SEO, affiliates) have the lowest CAC.
