How to Maximize a Small Advertising Budget

Think you need a huge budget to market your business effectively?

Think again.

With a little strategy, you can make a modest advertising budget go a long way.

Here’s how to get the most bang for your buck:

✅ Focus on High-Impact Platforms Don’t try to be everywhere.Pick 2-3 places where your audience hangs out (like radio, Facebook, and Google), and do them well.

✅ Use Radio + Digital Together Running local radio ads while boosting your Google profile and posting on social media creates a multiplier effect.You’ll be everywhere your customers are — without breaking the bank.

✅ Prioritize Consistency Over Size A steady, smaller ad budget over six months is way more powerful than one big blast that’s forgotten in a week.Repetition builds recognition. Recognition builds trust.

✅ Bundle Services Where You Can At Peterson Media Group, we help you bundle radio ads, website updates, and social media support into packages that stretch your dollars farther.(And we don't nickel and dime you with silly fees either.)

✅ Track What Works Make sure you know how people are finding you — and lean into what’s working.Good tracking helps you spend smarter, not just spend more.
