How to create a marketing budget
How to determine marketing budget comes down to choosing a percentage of revenue to spend, choosing messaging channels in which to spend those dollars and determining what kind of results you want to see.
A typical small business marketing budget plan example might include spending 5 percent to 10 percent of revenue on marketing. Next, you’ll need to determine how you’re going to reach your target audience. Maybe it’s through your content-rich website, social media outreach, emails and text messages — or most likely a combination of various channels. After that, you’ll need to determine what kind of results you aim to achieve, whether that’s a certain sales volume, visits to your website or other measurable metric. Your marketing budget plan will then determine how you’ll divide your marketing budget between each specific channel to meet your goals. As you might expect, your marketing budget plan will change as your business evolves.
