MARKETING BUDGETS LAE was able to grow using the marketing budgets of the institutions (and often did not have the liquidity to dedicate income to marketing when the office was starting up). Not having an obligatory marketing budget as a proportion of income is a key weakness in the LAE model LAE has the tools and the strategies but we do not have the marketing budgets We need dedicated marketing budgets if we are going to grow to our potential Competitors that invest heavily in marketing Global: EF Brazil: STB, CI Mexico: Mundo Joven Colombia: Global Connection, Grasshopper

HOW MUCH SHOULD BE SPENT ON MARKETING? Bloomberg Businessweek Small Business http://www.businessweek.com/smallbiz/content/feb2009/sb20090210_16 5498.htm Volume-driven companies tend to spend a tiny percentage of sales on marketing, in part because their large revenues enable small contributions to add up fast, and in part because of the margin pressures they face in having to compete with other high volume companies. By contrast, margin-driven companies tend to spend a larger percentage of sales on marketing: They have room in their margins to afford it, and they're often working from a smaller revenue base. For example, like most professional services firms, my company is more margin-oriented than volume-oriented, so fueling its growth requires that we spend a higher percentage of our revenues. Last year, our number was just over 8%, and I've seen companies spend upwards of 15% when warranted especially young companies that need to invest to build their brand.
HOW MUCH SHOULD BE SPENT ON MARKETING? Marketing as a Percentage of Revenue Benchmarks http://www.roguemarketer.typepad.com/the_rogue_marketer/marketing- as-a-percentage.html When setting marketing as a percentage of revenue benchmarks, the firm Go-to-Market Strategies has published a study on normative levels. According to their research "30% of companies spend between 3-5% of revenue on marketing, with 45% spending over 6% (most of those between 6-10%). If you are launching a new product, or are expecting to launch into a new market or territory, expect to spend approximately 20% of revenue to fund that program." The percentage of revenue approach, 8-10% of revenue should be spent on marketing, with approximately 5% of that going to labor (either for a department, or outsourcing to a marketing firm).
MARKETING BUDGET Have a fixed proportion of income for a marketing budget Small offices (< 30 students) 0% (15 offices) Medium Offices (30 70 students) 5% (6 offices) Large Offices (> 71 students) 10% (19 offices)
