We continually find that when businesses resort to a “quick and cheap” fix, the results are rarely strong. It’s not to say that the correct answer to conducting a successful marketing plan is shelling out as much money as possible. And while I usually shy away from giving clients direct quotes on pricing (there are so many variables that impact a proposal), I’ve constantly tried to find a way to ballpark.
I recently stumbled upon a digital marketing calculator from a group called WebStrategies Inc. (download here). The developer, Chris Leone, has graciously allowed me to write this post about the tool. Chris developed the pricing calculator through the data of multiple resources; the latest research and surveys from CMO.com, Forrester Research, and eConsultancy. By combining these resources, Chris and his team have formed an accurate representation of a monthly marketing spend.
I’ve provided a few scenarios that outline different price point suggestions for various sized companies. I’ve set up the tool as detailed below in order to give the most realistic scenarios to Splendor’s clients needs:
If you’re a small business with an annual revenue of ~$1,000,000 that wants to grow– the calculator suggests spending ~$5,000-$10,000 monthly on your total marketing budget.
Congratulations!! You’ve broken an annual revenue of $100 million dollars. But it’s no time to sleep. Companies like Apple and Nike (while earning just slightly more than $100 million/year) are at the top of their game yet they continue to invest heavily in marketing. If you invest $12,000,000 a year (!!), or 12% of your annual revenue, you’ve guaranteed your company a ROI.
If your company has decided to set up a marketing budget for FY18, this tool is a must have. There’s a reason big, successful companies invest in marketing; because it works. Any company at any size can benefit from a successful, strategic marketing plan. And Splendor can help implement it.
