NOTE

CAC & Cash Contribution

Marketers should calculate SAC by dividing spend by total customers, excluding organic customers. It is crucial to consider the marginal cash contribution rather than discounting revenues to fairly estimate future profitability. Including all variable costs in the calculation is essential.

Focus on cash contribution over revenues to assess the actual profit generated by acquired customers.
