Cost Per Acquisition (CPA)
Cost Per Acquisition first involves creating a target action (e.g. purchasing a product), then calculates how much money is being spent in advertising dollars for one of these actions to be completed. Reducing CPA in your marketing channels, and comparing types of ads to see which is more effective, can be a useful way to reduce unnecessary costs.
