What are the customer acquisition costs in B2B?

02/22/2023 | By: FDS

The cost of customer acquisition in B2B can vary widely and depends on many factors, such as the industry, the company, the target audience, the sales channel, and the type of marketing activity.

Some common marketing activities in B2B include digital marketing campaigns such as Google Ads ads, advertising in trade magazines, direct marketing, cold calling, networking events and trade shows. The cost of these activities can vary widely, ranging from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars or even higher, depending on the tactics used and the intensity of the campaigns.

Especially due to the high click prices in the B2B area (= products & services to corporate customers) of up to 15 € per click and associated lead prices of several dozen euros to several hundred euros, strong optimization and testing measures are required to not burn the marketing budget.

An important factor in determining the cost of B2B customer acquisition is also customer lifetime value (CLV), or the expected revenue a customer will generate throughout the relationship with the company. If the CLV is high, higher customer acquisition costs may be justified.
