| Planning your marketing budget | ||
| By Kalon Huett, Managing Editor | ||
|
Marketing is vital for the growth of any business because it drives brand awareness and directly or indirectly generates revenue, but one key element of marketing strategy is sometimes overlooked – the budget. |
|
While the word 'budget' is often associated with monetary constraints, in the B2B world investing too little on marketing – and particularly digital marketing – can be just as counterproductive as investing too much. Even if you're tapping into the right amount of financial resources, are you allocating those resources in a way that actually supports your core objectives, and are they in line with current marketing trends? An effective marketing budget helps you: organise your current financial position; determine the key marketing platforms to focus on; identify a specific and realistic course of spending action; and store useful data for future assessment of the overall plan. It all comes back to good preparation and wise decision-making. Not sure where to start? Follow these simple steps to ensure your marketing budget is a strength, not a stress. |
