Marketing and branding are very important aspects of your business. They help you to reach a broader customer base, and familiarize your business with potential new clients. As with all aspects of business, planning and organization need to go into every decision, which includes setting a print budget for the new year. 
Take stock of your inventory
Print materials are a core component of your marketing efforts, and luckily for you their costs are easier to estimate. You can start by taking stock of what signage and print materials you already have. See if any of these materials can be reused. Any inventory from the previous year that can be repurposed will cut down on costs and free up more room in your budget.
What is needed?
After you have taken stock of what you have, now you can begin to figure out what you will need. Create quantities for expected fliers, direct mail, brochures, business cards, or any other print materials you may need for the coming year. Organizing your needed materials in this way will help you keep to your budget and avoid an over-inflated marketing budget.
Final preparations
Now you can begin to start pricing out all the items in your budget. Attach dollar values wherever you can to different print materials and signage so you can begin to estimate the total costs of your marketing budget. Lock in any prices you can, as this will eliminate any variances in your expected and actual costs. With a carefully thought out and priced out marketing budget, you will be all set for the new year.
