Understanding CAC, NCAC, LTV & ROAS Limits

  • Understanding CAC, NCAC, and LTV deeply is essential to analyze marketing success effectively.
  • ROAS alone is misleading due to brand influence and funnel contributions from multiple channels.
ADVICE

Benchmark Your Own Metrics

  • Define your Lifetime Value (LTV) and New Customer Acquisition Cost (NCAC) clearly to guide marketing investments.
  • Benchmark against your own brand data rather than industry averages for effective scaling.

LTV Determines CPA Strategy

  • A good LTV with high repeat rate means you can afford a higher CPA on the first sale.
  • Your willingness to lose, break-even, or profit on the first sale affects how aggressively you can set CPA targets.
