CREATIVE BIZ TIP: How Much Should I Spend On Marketing In 2024?

2024 is gearing up to be a fiercely competitive year in the marketplace, especially with major political shifts influencing consumer spending.

But fear not! Your secret weapon lies in savvy marketing strategies that can make a world of difference for your business. Picture this: a potent marketing plan, even with a modest investment, can catapult your message straight to the audience eagerly seeking your artistic talents.

But, the age-old question lingers: How much should you invest in marketing?

Here's a tried-and-true formula, a gem for creative entrepreneurs and businesses alike: earmark 8% of your projected sales target for your marketing endeavors. 

This golden rule, backed by the Small Business Development Center and marketing experts, consistently advises dedicating 8% of gross revenue to amplifying your sales initiatives.

Let's break it down with examples:

Artists aiming to sell $2,000 worth of their art can unleash the magic by allocating just $150 (that's 8%!) for targeted social media ads. Watch your fan base grow and your showcase event buzz with excitement!

Photographers eyeing $5,000 in booked photoshoots this month can seize the opportunity by investing $400 in strategic social media campaigns. Your stunning portfolio deserves to captivate the right eyes!

As the holiday break approaches, take some time to ponder how this strategy could transform your creative business in the upcoming year.
