How much should a small business actually spend on marketing?

5% of revenue? 10%? $5,000 a month? Whatever is left after everything else gets paid?

In this episode of Marketing in 4K, we cut through the generic percentage rules and break down how to determine a marketing budget that actually makes sense for your business. We cover percentage-of-revenue ranges, growth goals, profitability, customer acquisition cost, cash flow, business maturity, and the difference between your total marketing investment and the money you actually have available to spend.

We also walk through real dollar examples at different revenue levels so you can see what marketing budgets actually look like not just hear another useless “it depends.”

If you're a small business owner or marketing leader trying to figure out how much money you should realistically set aside for marketing, this episode gives you a framework you can actually use.

Marketing in 4K 
Clear strategy. Smart systems. Real growth.
