How to Set a Monthly Marketing Budget for a Small Business in Syria?
Set the budget from the goal, not from a number: how many customers you need each month, how much each customer earns you, and how much you can pay to win one. Start with a small test budget for one or two months, then increase spend on the channel that brings customers at an acceptable cost.
Steps
- 01
Calculate profit per customer
First-sale margin, plus repeat purchases if any.
- 02
Set a maximum acceptable cost per customer
The share of profit you accept paying to win a new customer.
- 03
Run a test
One or two channels for a month, tracking every enquiry.
- 04
Scale what works
Move budget to the channel with the lowest cost per customer.
