Why we chose budgeting in digital advertising as a topic
The topic of how to set an online marketing budget comes up all the time. It’s a topic that touches not only more established companies that have been advertising online for years, but also large or small companies that have never invested in digital advertising before. Setting a budget for your online marketing ads spend is something that you will need to address. This important decision will undoubtedly impact your company’s goals and also growth.
In this online marketing-focused video podcast we’ll be discussing multiple key topics around the different types of budget options that exist, how to set a budget that’s right for your business, and other relevant subject matter topics. The real question we’ll hopefully help you answer is how you should set a budget for your online marketing spending, and what factors should impact your decision.
What are the different types of budgets we tend to see?
- Set Budgets

- Test Budgets

Furthermore, certain companies have the flexibility to alter their total budgets depending on the performance or ROI of their campaigns where others have more rigid budgets that do not allow for such flexibility.
