With pumpkin spice in the air and ads in your mailbox, what better time to think about improving your marketing? Use seasonal trends and curate a campaign to grow your audience right? No matter the season, time, or circumstance, a business runs on marketable products. To market you have to be marketable, and what better way to do so with strategy.

The questions still stand as to whether or not you should invest in marketing, how much you should invest, and if it’s even worth it. The answer depends on your market of choice. Whether its real estate ( local and MLS interaction), Retail (Investors, business events, social ads), etc. You need to configure who your audience is, how they think, what they are willing to achieve and what they can get out of it. To market is to understand what people are willing to pay for the marketed product you sell. Generally speaking you should 110% market your brand/product you seek fit, yet you need to do it right and with assistance from us you can achieve more growth. We may not be the answer to this question, but understanding what your brand needs are will make the conclusion clearer. In the financing jungle of marketing you can take risks, tread lightly, or free fall into probability, and algorithms. Investing takes planning so our guide below may help in the financial department.

Financing marketing 

  1. Evaluate your allocated funds. Create a backup savings build or interest building account to grow your money, but manually further your savings by evaluating what budget you can create for your goals.
  2. Choose which ad method you seek the best fit for your brand’s needs, and profit goals.(research average costs of what you are looking for in specific)
  3. Don’t over-evaluate your funds and set aside too much or too little for minor for major habits that could create a pitfall in your work.
  4. Be aware that once you create content, ads, local events, etc. that people are now leaning toward more authentic and positive influential people/brands. Keep consistency so your allocated funds are not spent for a general non-engaging audience. 

Continuing to marketing and how much you may need to do so, focus on maintaining balance, structure, and market importance. From time to time you need to be aware of trends in your market, economic influx, your growth stages, and your potential ROI (return on investment). From our research you should maintain a consistent 2-20% fund allocation to marketing. Plan for profit, loss, and demand, as these tend to matter the most when considering a financial plan. Marketing may seem like a risk from time to time, but when done strategically with a team and tips it could open opportunities, build brand integrity and create pathways to easier solutions, and company growth. Let’s determine the benefits, potential opportunities, financing, strategies, and market creation together through our Elevate Hub and partner with us to not only grow your market potential, but Invest in knowledge for success!
