Why is this important to you?
Knowing where money will be spent will
better help you in planning your sales & marketing budget for the year.
Granted, no one knows exact numbers for where consumers & businesses will
spend money, but research is key! It’s very similar to subjects in school…in
order to understand each subject, a student must research & spend time
learning the subject. Same for knowing & understanding both your existing
market, your projected market & how both coincide with how consumers
&/or businesses are spending money.
We are in the day & age of
technology…mobile technology at that! In order to get the most out of your
budget funds, research how your business is reaching those on mobile phones,
tablets, social media, etc. Marketing only to those on desktops may cause your
business to miss out on many consumers that may be interested in the product
&/or service you offer, but use their phone only to make buying decisions.
Questions to keep in mind as you build
your budget for the year:
- How is our existing budget
performing?
- How does our sales/marketing
strategy align with our business goals?
- How well are we tapping into mobile
marketing & social media?
- How much should our sales &
marketing budget be?
- Where/How should this money be
dispersed?
Reach consumers where they are.
More & more people are using their mobile devices much more daily! At least consider moving a portion of your marketing dollars to reaching people where they spend most of their time.

This is a wonderful post! I also think that mobile social media marketing technique are very beneficial for all kinds of business but there are some other overlooked mobile marketing techniques such as bulk business texting. I want to give it a try so got relevant data about our potential customers and gave a shot to the SMS campaign. Must tell you that the results were awesome so I am now using this technique constantly.
