[Billy Russell]

I'm just looking at my budgets for advertising and marketing and was wondering what people felt was a reasonable budget?

I do understand that everybody is different and we've all got different overheads etc etc, but i was just looking for rough ideas

I chose £200-£300 because it brings in enough new business to keep me ticking over.

Iam winding down after all..
