In the one to three million range, you understand, it may be 8 to twelve, but it once you get to 10 or above, we may be in more of the four to eight percent range.

And that's what we're gon na speak about in the messaging section. So uh last thing I wish to state on budgeting.

Um that uh study I mentioned a minute earlier, the long and the brief of it, by far the most significant study that's ever been done on advertising, they pulled out that the most dependably growing business who are able to charge more, protect margin, uh, get a bigger portion of the market over the long haul, and not be disruptible.

So um if you are a if you are a home service business, it's gon na be five to 10 years before the typical individual requires you.

Brandon Welch: 14:49 Yes. So we're recommending uh for essentially any person we work with a 60 30 10 focus. 60 on tomorrow marketing that's emotional branding, making people like you, understand your character, know your brand name, know what you stand for, entertainment, making attention before the sale. Today marketing goes 30%, um, which is like, hey, we have a deal, you need to buy today, it's a truly great time to purchase.

And then we state as much as 10% on yesterday marketing due to the fact that a company who has past consumers is uh has has the most significant opportunity um which and the most effective marketing when they concentrate on the other day marketing. Caleb Agee: 15:31 Typically the lowest dollar cost of all the years.

So if you're a brand name brand-new company, you're not gon na have probably enough to invest on the other day marketing. If you're developed, we have some business that have been around 50, 60 years, like spending a significant amount of time in the messaging and email marketing and text messaging and customer appreciation events, like that's way less expensive than marketing for brand-new clients.

It's gon na appear like 5 to 10 percent for many businesses, and you want a sixty percent of that overall invest in tomorrow marketing, thirty percent today, and then as much as 10 percent on today marketing.

Caleb Agee: 16:46 That 10 percent was the other day. Sorry, did I I misspoke? You you said today, I think. Brandon Welch: 16:55 All right, uh, we're gon na go on to 2026 subtleties for um your technique. Um, Caleb mentioned this a bit early in the episode. Technique actually should not alter year to year, uh, like a whole lot, unless you are simply reinventing yourself or you've been interrupted.
