Reduce or Increase Your Business Marketing Budget in a Tough Economy?

INCREASE, INCREASE, INCREASE!!!!

Understandably, one of the first costs business owners consider cutting during an economic downturn is marketing expense. Media consultants will tell you bad economic times for businesses are the time to increase your advertising budget because advertising increases sales. While there is some truth in that premise, that’s not the whole story.

Dollar Cost Advertising for Marketing

The most successful business owners in Yavapai County establish their marketing budget through dollar cost averaging. You may have heard the term, “dollar cost averaging,” as applied to financial investing. This strategy is also effective for many important goals in life, including business growth.

What is Dollar Cost Averaging?

Let’s get a handle on the meaning of dollar cost averaging in general finances before we apply it to your commercial enterprise. Say an investment firm or private investor allocates a total amount of investment capital for the stock market and sets a target gain. The investor then divides the investing total into an equal cost per month for purchases of stock over a year. The same dollar amount is invested on the same day of each month without regard to the price of the stock at the time of each purchase. That’s dollar-cost averaging (DCA). This method has proven itself to be the most successful for many investors and is often encouraged by financial advisors.

Business Success and Emotion

Planning a marketing strategy and sticking with it has resulted is the success story of many businesses. Dollar cost averaging is by far the best method. By setting a marketing budget and staying on course, you operate with objectivity instead of reacting with emotion. Objectivity is usually a business owner’s best friend, while emotion can be your worst enemy.
