What percentage of my marketing budget should I allocate for online marketing?

louisvuittonchild asked:


I have a writing and editing services company, and we currently have $4500 of our operating budget. We are planning to do direct mail marketing, advertisements in trade journals, and online marketing (pay-per-click, e-newsletters, etc). How much of my marketing budget should I allocate for online marketing?

    You can test how well PPC works for you with a very short test, $100-$200.

    I recommend going with Google/Yahoo Paid advertising for it’s wider audiences.

    Create your most compelling ad copy and target popular keywords in your space.

    Implement the conversion tracking code provided by Google / Yahoo on your “thank you” / sales lead page.

    You’ll be able to determine the ROI of PPC within a short time, and short spend.

    Hope this helps!
