The tips how to plan a successful marketing budget:

  • Set your annual goals — quantitative such as total revenue, profit, number of customers, and strategic — new markets, new distribution channels, or brand renewal.
  • Outline your major marketing campaigns. Your plans should include: the top 3 campaigns you will run to generate leads, the main promotions and giveaways through the year, the media you will use (email, social, print, telemarketing, trade shows, publicity), tools, technologies or resources you’ll need (a new website, an email service provider, or new software)
  • Develop a marketing budget. Many companies just estimate, or base their budget on last year’s spend. An estimate is better than nothing, but if you’ve defined your major campaigns and needs, you can develop better numbers.
  • Revisit your marketing plan regularly to measure your progress. If you don’t review the plan regularly, it’s easy to lose focus.
