A SMALL BUSINESS HAS TO GET A ROI
(RETURN ON INVESTMENT) FROM ALL MARKETING
“So how much should I spend on marketing my business?”
Of course this is depending on your budget and the type of business you have, but as a guide, a small to medium sized business that is committed to growing their business and gaining real market share, should invest anywhere between 5% and 10% of gross sales to marketing.
It really comes down to how comfortable you are with your budget, and investing your marketing budget in the right practises. It is vital that you test and measure EVERYTHING. You cannot afford any costly mistakes.
