Should marketing have its own budget rather than being hidden in ingredient cost?

Home Bakery Business class-q-and-abakery-business

How should a small bakery account for marketing and social-media spending when planning its costs? Should these expenses have their own budget rather than being grouped into ingredient cost, and how can the spending be compared with actual enquiries or orders?

Yes. The course separates marketing and social-media expenses from food cost while still treating them as business expenses. Ingredient cost is only one part of the full cost of operating the bakery.

Track marketing spend alongside the orders or enquiries it produces, rather than assuming every view represents a sale.
