Essential strategies to maximise you budget in 2024

2023 was undoubtedly a challenging year for businesses worldwide, where rising costs and tightening budgets have become the norm. Amidst these pressures, it's tempting to slash 2024 marketing budgets drastically. However, this move could prove to be a costly mistake.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in particular, have felt the pinch the most. If your business is in this position, don’t worry, there are strategies to help you maximise your marketing budget in 2024.

One of the critical factors straining marketing budgets is the failure to leverage insights from live campaign data to optimise marketing strategies and campaigns. Does your business have a full picture of what is driving revenue for your business, both directly and indirectly?

Often, this stems from inadequate analytics, eCommerce platform limitations, incomplete conversion data, or a disconnect between the marketing department and the C-Suite regarding the significance of top-of-funnel channels. These channels serve as the springboard for revenue generation.

Focusing solely on conversion and retention campaigns without investing in brand building and awareness is a recipe for limited results at a high cost. To truly optimise your budget in 2024, it's imperative to adopt a growth mindset and full-funnel strategy.

Embrace experimentation with cost-effective campaigns across the entire customer journey. Let data be your guiding light, informing every decision before committing substantial resources.

The beauty of a full-funnel approach lies in its ability to leverage lower-cost top-of-funnel activities to qualify consumers effectively before progressing them down the funnel toward conversion. This ensures that every penny spent contributes to tangible results.

Moreover, this approach offers ample opportunities to refine creative elements, messaging, and triggers based on consumer behavior. By optimising your strategy accordingly, you can achieve a higher volume of sales at a lower cost per acquisition (CPA).

The effectiveness of this approach has been demonstrated across a spectrum of SMEs and larger enterprises and has been responsible for significant growth for many clients. If you believe that implementing such a strategy could benefit your business, we're eager to collaborate and help you navigate the digital landscape of 2024.
