Compute Actual Cost Per Acquisition Post-Facto Including Micro-Conversions. Today when we measure our Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) for our campaigns (Search, Email, Affiliate, whatever), we just think of the macro-conversion and, perhaps worse, we think only of that session / visit.

The object behind crowdfunding is to open up more opportunities for capital to flow into businesses to help them grow and create new jobs. Companies looking to raise between $100,000 and $500,000 must provide “reviewed” financials, which means they have to pay a CPA to check them. Crowdfunding is not for everyone.

3) Customer Acquisition Cost. Your budgetary number for how much you spend to acquire a customer is known as the “ customer acquisition cost ” (CAC). The initial cost per customer should be less than the profit made once they’re converted (or be lower than LTV if you know it). Calculating LTV depends on your business model.
