work together towards a common goal and reinforce
each other.

 While some businesses set promotional budgets
as a fixed number, most are based on estimated
sales projections

needs to be flexible.
 Promotional budgets also may be increased in an
attempt to match competition
Sample Budget Planning
 Last year’s sales were $500,000
 Company expects a 5% growth in sales
 They want to spend 11% of sales on promotion
 $500,000 x .05 = $25,000 this year’s estimated sales growth
 $525,000 x 0.11 = $57,750this year’s promotional budget
Promotional Calendar

document that outlines the major
promotional events that are planned
at the beginning of the year

calendar as an advertising tool.
