Most companies underestimate their communications budget, which is all too often neglected in a business plan, even though it’s key to a successful development strategy. Companies, large and small, need communication to increase their visibility, stand out from the crowd and win customers over.
How to get your communications budget right? Should you set more money aside when starting your business? How to be sure whether you’ve budgeted too much or too little for your communication? These are frequently asked questions amongst managers of small and large companies alike, who are wary of spending a budget that they assume to be superfluous and prohibitive – especially in times of crisis!
At Beyond Communications, we believe the real value of a communications budget lies not in the amount but rather in how it is used, whatever the circumstances.
What should a company’s communications budget include?
To get a better idea of what your communication investments will represent, here’s a list of things you might consider:
- Communication endeavours: naming, logo, website, design and production of your communications tools, press relations campaigns, social media…
- Advertising: the purchase of advertising space (TV, press, radio, billboards) and the promotion of your content on social media, as well as SEO campaigns on Google Ads.
- The time spent by an agency organising and managing your communications (time is still money!): communications strategy, social media management, website creation and management, media relations, as well as the management of all other communications activities.
