Issue #31: [REPORT] – What marketers spend on advertising

This week I’ve got a stat for you that you should review with ALL of your clients and prospects PLUS a direct link to a very useful marketing report.
💸 Business Tip: How much should your client be spending on ads?
If you’ve ever had a hard time getting your clients to invest in paid advertising, you’re going to love this…
Based on a Salesforce study, here’s how successful marketing departments spend their budget:
The biggest chunk of BOTH pies is…wait for it…ADVERTISING.
So if your agency is your client’s entire marketing department and they pay you 10k/month, that means they should be spending AT LEAST 2k/month of that budget on ads.
If your agency is part of your client’s marketing efforts, you should advise them to spend 20% of the total budget on advertising.
Use this stat when you’re selling PPC services or trying to get them to increase their overall budget!
