HubSpot has published free budget tracker templates to help marketers efficiently plan their marketing budgets. Megan Conley says, “Here’s a hypothetical for you: Let’s say your company has decided to invest in a website redesign so you can improve lead generation, and you’re responsible for managing the project. Naturally, one of the first questions you have is, “How much is this website redesign going to cost?” The answer, of course, is “it depends.” Are you simply switching to a new template and adding some new CTAs, or are you migrating your entire website to... [...]

Robert Wallace says, “Ask nearly any startup founder what their marketing budget is, and you’ll often be met with a chuckle and — “Marketing budget? What marketing budget?”. Cash restraints and unpredictability can equate to rocky projections. And while the idea of having an actual marketing budget may seem unattainable for many early-stage companies, the good news is that today, marketing experimentation is relatively cost effective and approachable — making it easier to build an actual budget. Before you begin, your leadership team (even if it’s just two of you) must... [...]

Eric Devaney says, “Here’s a hypothetical for you: Let’s say your company has decided to invest in a website redesign so you can improve lead generation, and you’re responsible for managing the project.

Andrea Johnson says, “When a prospect enters her credit card online and hits “buy now,” chances are it isn’t her very first visit to the site or touch point in the sales process. According to Jeffery McCollum, Founder of CAKE, a digital marketing company, a sales path rarely leads directly to conversion. “The client might see a display ad and not do anything. They might get an email and not do anything. But then they go to Google, search for the product, and purchase it,” he explained. “There’s touch points leading up to that sale, but marketers only count that Google click. But... [...]

Chow says, “You see plenty of massive corporations spending big bucks on marketing and advertising. They’re working incredibly hard to build up brand awareness and to encourage you to buy their products instead of the competition’s. Samsung, Microsoft and Apple are a few prime examples of this and the assumption that many people make is that if you want to have that prominent of a presence in the marketplace, you need to similarly open up your wallet and purchase all sorts of ad space. While it is certainly true that such heavy brand messaging can help consumers know about your company and... [...]

Edward G. Brown says, ““I’m proud to pay my taxes,” the old saw goes. “But I could be just as proud for half the amount.” And half the time, I would add. A recent study found that it takes the average medium-sized company 264 hours to comply with its tax requirements. Most people are already so busy that it leaves many feeling overwhelmed. And when you’re feeling overwhelmed, your obligations feel like an avalanche, instead of separate, doable tasks. If that describes you when it comes time to “render unto Caesar,” here are three tips that will turn the avalanche into... [...]
