GRESHAM'S LAW, gresh'amz, in economics, is usually stated as "bad money raising drives out good." The law stems from the fact that money raising has a value both as money raising and as a commodity in the open market. The former value is set arbitrarily by law and is relatively fixed; the latter is determined by supply and demand and varies from time to time, "Good money raising" has a higher value as a commodity than as money raising and will disappear from circulation.
Typically, you may spend from three to eight percent of your gross on advertising. Keep in mind that the commitment to spend the money raising over the entire year is much more important than the amount of money raising you allocate toward advertising. Nothing will waste money raising faster than to spend a large amount of money raising in the beginning of the campaign, and when results are not immediately forthcoming, to pull back and stop advertising.
Spend your money raising according to your plan. Make some adjustments during the year to fine tune your efforts, but keep at it for the rest of the year. You will be surprised how this commitment to results will pay off despite some temporary misgivings.
