Any combination of these methods may be employed in the formation and allocation of your advertising budget.
Based on your advertising needs, you may find that you require all or only one of these methods to meet your advertising objectives. Whatever the case, make sure that your budget is flexible. It must be easy to adjust when there are changes in the market.
The duration of your planning and budgeting period depends upon the nature of your business. If you can use short budgeting periods, you'll find that your advertising can be more flexible and that you can change tactics to meet immediate trends.
To ensure advertising flexibility, you should have a contingency fund to deal with special circumstances - such as the introduction of a new product, specials available in local media, or unexpected competitive situations.
Beware of your competitors' activities at all times. Don't blindly copy your competitors, but analyze how their actions may affect your business - and be prepared to act.
