Customer acquisition cost (CAC) is a metric that has been growing with the emergence of Internet companies and web-based advertising campaigns that can be tracked. Traditionally, a company had to engage in shotgun style advertising and find methods to track consumers through the decision-making process.

You can also use demand-side platforms (DSP), which are automated, as a way to purchase and manage your online ads.
