I run at 10%. What about you?

[JohnHawkP]

My advertising runs at around 10% of turnover.

Or as I like to think of it

For every dollar I spend I get 10 dollars back.

What about you guys?

Impressive.

If businesses have been in operation for a while and do a pretty good job like you do then returning customers and referrals has a positive impact.

Advertising is like taxes, you gotta pay it if you want a healthy business.

50 plus years helps but you still need to remind them that you are still around.

I don't spend anything on "advertising", but spend about 5% on marketing.

It is proof that something is always better than nothing. It wasn't crappy, it's actually improved over your original.

I just found no matter how happy I was with my design, Phillip always killed what I did. He used my idea and then improved upon it greatly.
