The Roadside Manor has a repeat guest base of 80 percent and rarely devotes resources to attracting new market segments. Which of the following techniques for developing a marketing budget would likely work best for the property?
-
Percentage-of-sales budgeting
-
Competitive-parity budgeting
-

The Roadside Manor has a repeat guest base of 80 percent, indicating that a significant portion of their revenue comes from existing customers. Therefore, using a percentage-of-sales budgeting technique would likely work best for the property. This approach involves allocating a certain percentage of the sales revenue towards the marketing budget. Since the property does not devote many resources to attracting new market segments, this method allows them to allocate a budget based on their existing revenue and prioritize spending on retaining and satisfying their repeat customers.Rate this question:
