How much does construction marketing cost?.

There is no set rule for determining a marketing budget for your construction business. Average figures range between 5% and 15% of your turnover. But there are many factors to consider.

Marketing is an investment, not a cost.

Ideally, you should work out your goals first. So are you looking to increase sales/revenue? Are you looking to increase awareness for a new product range? Are you looking to develop stronger relationships with a particular discipline e.g. architects?

Once you have worked your goals out, you can then begin to analyse the scope of the project involved, and from that you can work out a marketing budget investment.

It is important to feature that marketing should be viewed as an investment for your business, not a cost.

Yes it costs money, but the money that you invest you should be considering what it will return for your business.

And on the flip side, if you don’t invest in marketing, what are the opportunities you are missing out on.

For example, the specification process can be challenging. The only way your product or service will be specified is when a specifier trusts you enough to buy from you. And to build trust up, they need to know about you and relate to your content or marketing message.

So if you don’t invest in marketing you won’t be specified.

If you do invest in marketing, you are investing in your future success and building your online reputation with architects, main contractors and sub-contractors.
