Budgeting
Budgeting
• Review Current Budgets
• Review Activities from 2013 (what worked, what
didn’t)
• Understand the nature of your business, and
plan accordingly
– Seasonality, sales cycle, competition

• Do you need agency/consultant help?
• Framing the conversation
• Budget calculator
Review Current Budgets
• Compare total budgets Year over Year (YoY)
Review Current Budgets
• How do budgets compare to revenue YoY?
Review Activities
• Break down budgets by activity, determine ROI
– What should we be doing more of?
Review Activities
• Dig deeper…
• Break costs down even further
Roughly 66% of spend is going
towards Google right now.
Should it be?
Review Activities
• Compare search engines, see where more efforts should
be placed
Google is responsible for 64%
of conversions in 2013
Review Activities
• Compare search engines, see where more efforts should
Google has the lowest CPA, which
be placed
means we’re spending less per
sale on Google. The majority of
the budget should be placed on
Google
Plan Accordingly
• Do you have seasonality in your business?
• Ex. You sell widgets that are a hot item during
the holidays, bump up your ad spend
Plan Accordingly
• Consider running promotions throughout the
year
– Full price vs. discount strategies
– Free shipping
– Promote certain products/services

• Plan accordingly as costs could be affected
– Do you need to create content?
– Increase PPC spend? Update ad text? Update Landing
pages?
– Promote via social media (i.e. more time?)
Plan Accordingly
• Create a calendar
to help plan for
additional costs
– Content
– Ad spend
– Consultants
Framing the Conversation
• Do you need to sell to your boss to get more
budget? Do your homework.
– Understand the company’s goals
– Discuss previous ROI from marketing activities, and if
possible, how they compare to other efforts
– Mention the competition (especially if they are doing
what you are proposing)
– Provide case studies or backup data that can help sell
your idea
– Get to the point, they don’t have a lot of time
Budget Calculator
• Need help setting a marketing budget?
– Rule of Thumb: 8%-10% of total sales/revenue
– Aggressive: 10%-15% of total sales/revenue

• Calculators can be useful and help provide some
direction
Budget Calculator (long term)
• Determine
your annual
revenue &
time frame
• This
calculator is
low
(suggesting
about 2%)
Budget Calculator (somewhat aggressive)
Budget Calculator (very aggressive)
