Setting a Marketing Budget in African Markets

Steps

Goal, CAC, split, buffer, review.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Following up leads hours or days too late
• Changing too many things at once, so you can't tell what worked
• Letting the agency own your ad accounts
• Copying competitors instead of testing your own offers

Quick checklist before you start

• Clear goal and budget for the next three months
• Landing page that matches the offer
• Conversion tracking tested end to end
• Accounts and data in your business name
• A follow-up process for every enquiry

Key takeaway

How African businesses can set marketing budgets with FX and inflation in mind. Start with one clear goal, measure results from day one and keep accounts and data in your own name, so you stay in control whatever partner you work with.
