Media Buying and Management - M8TRIX5 Digital

Should business owners advertise? The answer is yes.

But the real question is how much should you spend on advertising.

The U.S. Small Business Administration recommends spending 7 to 8 percent of your gross revenue on marketing and advertising if you're doing less than $5 million a year in sales.

Some marketing experts advise that start-up and small businesses usually allocate between 2 and 3 percent of revenue for marketing and advertising, and up to 20 percent if you're in a competitive industry.

Still other marketing experts counsel a range between 1 percent and 10 percent and even more depending on competitive activity, how long you've been in business, and what you can afford.

It's apparent from these differing opinions that the percentage of gross revenue for marketing and advertising depends mainly on whom you ask.
