# What You Need to Know About Acquisition Marketing

by [Sample HubSpot User](https://www.targetable.com/testblog/author/sample-hubspot-user), on Oct 5, 2021 6:13:51 AM

If you want to grow your business, customer acquisition is a fundamental process to understand. After all, you can’t grow if you don’t have customers, right? Acquisition Marketing takes that a step further as a strategy that focuses specifically on consumers who are aware of you and are considering making a purchase. In this article, we’ll review the key things you need to know to implement this strategy ASAP.

Let’s start with the basics. When we talk about **customer acquisition**, we’re talking about the process of bringing new customers to your business. The main goal is to increase sales, but you can also:

- Increase brand awareness.
- Create a balance of existing and new customers.
- Get new suggestions, feedback, and reviews.
- Increase the opportunity of getting new investors and partners.

So now that we’re clear on the definition of customer acquisition, what’s **Acquisition Marketing**? It’s a *marketing strategy that focuses on consumers who have become aware of your brand and are considering making a purchase. *It doesn’t matter if your business is large or small, all businesses need this strategy to keep growing.

It’s important to know that **this** **is not the same as customer retention**. The retention strategy aims at nurturing the relationship with current customers, whereas customer acquisition has the goal of gaining new customers.
