Advertising Advice

 

How much should you spend on advertising?
This is probably the most fundamental question with all advertising activity - what you should sensibly invest in advertising. The answer to this is actually relatively simple to calculate in many cases.

Here is a fictitious example which may help:

A client has a new service which is sold on their website. The service costs £5 to provide so long as 1,000 are sold. So in order for the client to break-even he needs to sell his product for £5 and needs to achieve at least 1,000 sales. An advertising agency is hired by the client and following their analysis the ad agency recommends that the service can be sold for for £20 and 5,000 sales can be achieved by investing £5 in each sale - this is an advertising budget of £25,000. So, 5,000 sales bring in £100,000 of which £25,000 is advertising cost, economies of scale make each product now cost £3 (from £5 when only 1,000 are sold) that's £18,000, total cost of sales is £43,000 - profit £57,000. Without the advertising there are 1,000 sales at £10, cost of sales is £5,000 - profit £5,000.

The above example highlights two factors to consider when setting advertising budgets; 

1. How many additional sales can be achieved by the advertising spend?
 

2. Can the product price be increased by advertising in a positive way to increase the perceived value of the product. 
 
If the advertising spend increases both sales and the price of the product or service then the effective net cost of advertising can actually be free.
