We know our blended CAC, but we have no idea what it costs to acquire a customer from each channel. We might be burning money on channels that look good on paper.

Sound familiar?
Customer Acquisition Cost is the total cost of acquiring a new customer, including marketing spend, sales costs, and operational overhead. It is the denominator in every growth equation - if your CAC exceeds your customer lifetime value, your business is unsustainable. Knowing your true CAC by channel is essential for making smart investment decisions.
Most companies only know their blended CAC - total spend divided by total new customers. This number is nearly useless for decision-making because it averages together efficient channels with wasteful ones. Your organic search might deliver customers at $20 while paid social costs $200 per customer. Without channel-level CAC, you cannot tell whether scaling a channel will grow profit or destroy it.
KISSmetrics tracks customer acquisition from first touch to conversion, attributing each customer to the channels and campaigns that brought them in. You get CAC by channel, by campaign, by ad group, and by keyword. Combined with lifetime value data, you can calculate payback periods and ROI for every acquisition source, making budget allocation decisions backed by real data.
