What is PLC?

As mentioned above, cost-per-lead (CPL) is a payment model you can integrate into your marketing strategy. With this model, as an advertiser, you pay affiliates only when they generate qualified leads. Unlike models such as CPM or CPC, this one focuses on measurable results. These could be filling out a form, subscribing to a newsletter, downloading a catalog or requesting a quote. These are interactions that demonstrate consumer interest in your products or services.

CPL therefore focuses on specific actions rather than global visibility. This model is perfectly suited to the fashion and home sectors, where the customer journey is often complex and requires effective contact points.Boost your leads with Casaneo, your expert partner in CPL affiliation.

How do you calculate cost per lead?

CPL is one of the calculation indicators that reflect the different stages of the sales cycle. It represents the amount spent to acquire a lead. Among other things, this is a qualified contact who has expressed an interest in your product or service.
The CPL calculation is based on a simple formula:
CPL = Total campaign cost / Total number of leads generated.
If, for example, your advertising campaign costs 1,000 euros and generates 100 leads, the CPL will be 10 euros per lead. Although this formula is universal, its interpretation varies according to marketing objectives and business sectors.

Why calculate PLC?

Evaluate the effectiveness of marketing campaigns

One of the main reasons for calculating CPL is to determine the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. If a campaign generates a large number of leads, but at a high cost, it may not be profitable in the long term. By monitoring this metric, you can identify the most effective channels and strategies.

Improve return on investment (ROI)

CPL has a significant impact on ROI. By identifying the campaigns that generate leads at the lowest cost, you can maximize your profitability. However, we advise you to couple CPL with other metrics, such as conversion rate or average customer value. A low CPL is not always synonymous with success if the leads generated don’t turn into customers. CPL must therefore be analyzed in a broader context to ensure a coherent strategy.

Optimizing marketing budgets

With CPL, you can concentrate your resources on the most profitable actions. When you know the average cost of a lead per channel, you can allocate spending strategically. Comparing CPLs between different campaigns enables you to abandon poorly performing initiatives or reorient your approach.

Real-time monitoring and adjustments

Thanks to CPL tracking, you can adjust your campaigns in real time. If an affiliate marketing campaign exceeds the budget threshold for each lead, corrective action can be taken. This may involve modifying targeting parameters or adjusting advertising bids. This iterative process reduces unnecessary expenditure and ensures better cost control.Turn your marketing campaigns into measurable successes with Casaneo! Make an appointment today.
