Jewellery Marketing Budget How Much to Invest and What to Expect

One of the questions that arise during jewellery marketing budget planning is how much to invest? We will cover it right now.

Ideal Marketing Budget for a New Jewelry Brand is 20%

My rule is investing 20% of the revenue in marketing. This percentage depends also on your profit margins.

If you are a new brand aim to spend 20% of your desired goal in marketing.  If you want to make $1.000.000 a year, the reasonable investment in marketing will be $200.000/year.

Sometimes you can invest less than that and get a HIGH return on investment. For instance, a marketing and freind of mine Zach Radford, the CEO of Profitableads.com, has a great example.

He got $1.000.000 in sales in 90 days with only $8000 spent on Facebook Ads. His ReMarketing strategy made 153 Sales with $7000 average order value. This is 12,400% ROAS. MAGIC. As you can see you, the return on investment also depends on AOV – average order value.

Jewellery Retail Marketing Budget – Traditional or Digital Marketing?

I do not recommend to use traditional marketing if you have a limited budget, like television, radio, print advertising.

I’m PRO investing all budget in a Digital Marketing that allows you to get fast data/statistics, manage and optimise all the marketing campaigns for better Return on Investment. I already explained in this case study how we revived a jewellery retail brand allocating all the budget into digital marketing strategies.

What RETURN ON INVESTMENT YOU CAN ACHIEVE and What to Expect?

Once again, ROI for a JEWELRY brand depends on product prices, designs and country.

If you are selling fashion, non-expensive jewellery, with high-profit margins, then a 400% ROAS is considered excellent.

When selling gold and silver jewellery, aim for a minimum of 1000%.

My record in a gold jewellery niche was 5200% ROAS. It means for every 1$ invested in advertising; we were getting back 52$.  However, it’s imperative to validate your jewellery designs before pushing more money in marketing. Some jewellery will bring you HIGH ROAS some of them will not. Having that in mind, you have to test and find those winning jewellery designs while advertising and build your marketing around them. In that way, you can ensure a better ROAS.

When you are selling luxury, expensive jewellery, you can get 12400% ROAS as  Zach Radford did. To make it happen, you have to study and practice digital marketing for many years.
