This week’s question…How much should I set aside for my marketing budget?
Answer… The universal rule of thumb is that businesses should set aside 5% of their gross revenue to go towards marketing. Of course, based on your business, this could also be as low as 3% or as high as 10%. If you have a lot of competitors, you may spend more. Even if you have more business than you can handle, you still need to spend money on marketing. If you don’t keep your name out there, another business will enter the market and take that share.
