Budget Board - An Overview

 What is a Budget Board?

The budget can be defined annually, monthly, or for every quarter, depending on your preference. Various dashboards are available to help you monitor the expenses, identify the type of marketing activities where you spent the most, and ensure that you stay within the allocated budget.

The importance of a marketing budget  

Businesses can't spend on various marketing activities without a solid plan in place. To start with, you need to have a goal in mind. Ask yourself, what are you trying to achieve? It could be to increase sales, drive awareness and adoption, or reach a wider audience. To achieve that goal, it's important to come up with a plan and allocate a suitable marketing budget. This can be done by analyzing past performance, the amount spent on various marketing activities, the channels that proved effective, the ROI generated, and so on. These important metrics can help you identify and invest more on the channels where you have the better chance of reaching a wider audience.
