People friendly analytics and practical training for marketers

Is your budget set at the right level this year?   We’ve done the work to establish a good rule of thumb for how to set your advertising budget relative to the size of your business if the objective is to maximise ROI.   The chart is from the ARC database – a joint initiative between the IPA and magic numbers to bring hundreds and hundreds of econometrics findings from 6 econometrics shops together.   It shows the optimal % of turnover you should devote to advertising if you're an online business and you want to maximise ROI. It's about 5%, and for online businesses the ROI is higher at that optimum than it is for bricks and mortar.   But do you know what else we found? It's that the same finding was there in 2 other reputable sources - in Nielsen's ROI study, and in an investigation by Paul Dyson. All three studies landed on spending 5-10% of turnover on advertising for the highest return on investment.   This chart is taken from our course, which is all about putting your money where the magic is. The right size budget and the right mix of brand and performance marketing.   If you like using a benchmark, meta study, or rule of thumb to make the right decisions *and* successfully sell them in to your bosses, learn more on our Scaling Up Works course starting 15th October.   🚩Sign up and read more here: https://lnkd.in/e_9yjfev or email Imogen Howard via [email protected] for group booking or questions. #marketing #data #training
