Understanding Customer Acquisition Cost Basics:
CAC measures the average cost to gain one customer, including ads, sales salaries, and campaigns. Benchmarks vary by business type: B2C CAC is lower (monthly: < $100 low, > $300 high) for retail/e-commerce; B2B is higher (monthly: < $500 low, > $1,500 high) due to longer sales cycles.

Zero customers acquired indicates an ineffective campaign, requiring strategy review. Aim for recovery within 3-12 months via customer revenue and a 1:3 CAC:CLV ratio. Note these benchmarks are dependent on a number of factors and still differ by industry - do not rely on these.

Key Components:
1. Business Type: Select B2B or B2C for tailored benchmarks.
2. Period: Choose monthly or annual for relevant calculations.
3. Total Marketing/Sales Spend: All costs (e.g., ads, tools, team) in AUD.
4. New Customers Acquired: Number of customers gained in the period (0 indicates no acquisitions).
