Excessive expenditure in case of large establishedbrands
Keep serving loyal customers, who otherwise willalso buy the brand (in absence of ad)
Inadequate budget for promising brand that havepotential to become competitive by advertising Ignore brand profitability, as only brand sales is
considered More logical method could be to use brands GM or
% contribution to-overhead What happen when :
Brand is making major positioning move? Becomes established and dominant? Brand is just introduced?

Current methods generally used in Market
1. The Percent of Sales Method:
The advertising campaignbudget is a constant percentage of desired sales. A carmanufacturer may spend less than 1% of sales, while a smallretailer may budget 3 -7% of sales. A jewelry store may budget 8-12% of sales, and other companies may budget 20% or more.
This method works as long as the advertising campaign budget isset as a percentage of desired sales. If the budget is set to actual
sales, and sales drop, you do not want to cut your advertisingcampaign budget, or you will get caught in a downward spiral.
2. The Task Objective Method: How much money do you need tospend to reach the specific goals you have outlined for theadvertising campaign? This is especially effective when you arestarting out, or if you are trying to grow rapidly. Some advertisingcampaign strategies call for heavy spending upfront in order to
win long-term customers. 3. The Historical Method: How much did you spend to reach your
sales goals in previous years or periods? You will find that bytracking your ads, you will know in advance what you need to doto accomplish your goals.

4.Share of Market - Share of Voice: This method linksmarket share to advertising expenditure. A companywith a 20% market share would spend slightly more than20% of the total advertising dollars spent in the marketfor that product or service. For new companies,expenditures would be 1.5 times the desired market
share until that position is attained. [So if you want 20%market share, you spend 30% of total advertising dollarsin that market until you get it].
5.Competitive Parity: With competitive parity you spendin equal amounts to your competitors as a percentage ofmarket share. This is a self-defense method of budgetingmarketing and advertising expenditures.
6. The Combination Method: The best advertisingcampaign budget you can set will be based on somecombination of all of the previous models. You want tomaintain a minimum level of advertising, fulfill specific
goals, maintain your market share, keep up with yourcompetitors, and compare everything to last year.
