The basics of any business are to know your acquisition costs and the expected revenues from a customer.
What is CAC?
CAC — Customer Acquisition Cost is the cost of acquiring a single customer using marketing channels. Eg if you have spent PKR 1500 on facebook ads and acquired 10 customers due to it your
CAC is PKR 1500 / 10 = PKR150 / customer
What is LTV?
LTV — Long Term Value is the revenue you would generate from a customer’s lifetime. Eg if a customer spends an average of PKR 2000 / visit and on average in a 12 month period you are able to keep 90% of your acquired customers coming back.
LTV = PKR 2000 / (1–0.9) = PKR 20,000 / Customer
The graphic above shows you how to use CAC & LTV figures
