AVERAGE MARKETING BUDGET FOR SMALL BUSINESSES
How much should you spend?
Your business needs a marketing budget, and M&T can help you develop the right plan.
Average marketing costs for small businesses
The average marketing budget for small businesses will vary significantly depending on industry, geography, operating cash flow, the goals of each individual business and many other factors. Costs, of course, will vary depending on which marketing tactics a business chooses to promote its messages. Determining things like typical marketing expenses or the average advertising costs for small businesses is inexact. But no matter where your business is in relation to average, having a plan for how you’re going to spend your marketing dollars is key to your sustained success.
