Alibaba Group Holding  (NYSE:BABA) Customer Acquisition Cost (USD) Explanation

Customer Acquisition Cost (USD), CAC, is the cost of convincing a potential customer to buy a product or service. Investors can determine a company’s profitability by looking at the difference between how much money can be extracted from customers and the costs of extracting it. Lower CAC is better since it directly reflects the profitability of a company. CAC can be improved by a successful marketing strategy, targeted advertising and media exposure.

The CAC can be calculated by dividing all the costs spent on acquiring more customers (marketing expenses) by the number of customers acquired in the period the money was spent.
