# How Do I Track Customer Acquisition Cost by Sales Channel?

You track acquisition cost by recording marketing spend and new customers for each channel, then letting a dashboard divide one by the other automatically. On **Jestor**, this runs through spend and customer **tables** linked by channel.

Without this number, budget decisions rely on feeling. A channel that looks busy may be expensive per customer, while a quieter one may be quietly profitable.

## What unmeasured acquisition cost costs

- Budget spent on channels that bring costly customers
- Good channels underfunded because nobody measured them
- No shared number to discuss with the marketing team
- Decisions that change with whoever speaks loudest

## How acquisition cost tracking works

- Spend is recorded by **channel** and period
- New customers carry the channel that brought them
- A dashboard divides spend by new customers
- Trends show whether a channel is improving or getting worse

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- A shared number replaces opinion in budget discussions
- Channel comparison becomes direct and fair
- Trends help spot problems early
- This scales from two channels to a full marketing mix

| Budget by feeling        | Cost per customer by channel |
| ------------------------ | ---------------------------- |
| Costly channels continue | Spend tied to real results   |
