How can startup statistics help me plan my first marketing campaign?

Startup benchmarks tell you what new businesses typically spend, which channels pay off early, and where founders commonly waste money.

• Set a realistic first budget based on what comparable startups spend
• Prioritize channels with proven early returns over trendy ones
• Invest in tangible brand basics like business cards and postcards
• Track results from day one so you can shift budget quickly

A simple, consistent brand presence early usually beats a scattered spend across too many channels.
