We’ve all heard the saying, ”Location, location, location,” when it comes to one of the most important aspects of the business. I think the next thing should be Advertising, advertising, and more advertising.”
Advertising is a continually updated technique that requires knowledge of your business, product, target audience, and competitors.
Startup founders often focus a healthy portion of their budget on marketing so they can grow their client base. They set aside funds for things like billboards, magazine ads, trade show booths, sponsorships, and paid social media posts.
Between the thrill of launching new promotional initiatives and the routine of repeat marketing campaigns, founders and management teams have an underlying assumption that their advertising dollars are being spent wisely. However, this may be a misconception about how marketing works. Some small business owners place blind trust in marketing campaigns that produce an unknown return on investment (ROI).
To strategically grow your business, create and formalize your small business marketing budget while also keeping each ad dollar accountable for driving sales and profits. You may ask fundamental questions, such as:
• What is a good marketing budget for a small business?
• What percentage should a marketing budget be for a small business?
This will help minimize waste and establish a healthy marketing budget for a small business like yours.

How to Develop a Marketing Budget
Every business marketing plan should include a marketing budget – a specific amount the business will allocate to promote its goods and services. Determining a marketing budget can be a challenge, especially if you’re new to marketing investments. And marketing spending can vary wildly, depending on the industry, location, and business goals.
A marketing budget specifies exact amounts to allocate for staff salaries, office space, equipment, marketing, communications, design, and specific marketing channel. Your budget helps you align marketing strategies with business goals and funnel money into marketing campaigns with the highest return on investment (ROI).
