#Customer Acquisition

Customer Acquisition Cost is the magical metric that converts potential customers’ hearts into currency, fueling unrestrained investments in the name of ROI. Too high, and executives frown; too low, and marketers lose their weekends. In truth, it is nothing more than an internal pressure gauge disguised as an investment. The more it dances across spreadsheets, the hotter marketing meetings burn, while actual "customers" cower in the margins. A cunning prop reflecting a corporate culture that values form over substance with its slides and cells.
