Suggested Ad Spend as a Percentage of Sales

  • July 21, 2009 3:32 PM PDT

    We used to use a chart (perhaps from RAB) which listed different business categories along with a "suggested" percentage of net or gross sales to allocate to advertising. Does anyone have a report like this to share?

    This is still on the RAB site. Go to "For Radio Stations", then "Radio" , then "Tools for Sales People", then "Ad to Sales Ratios".

    I haven't seen it lately, but here is an old one from 2006.
