HOW TO ALLOCATE BUDGET IN IMC PLAN: INVEST IN THE RIGHT PLACE TO OPTIMIZE ROI
In an era where customers are surrounded by hundreds of messages every day, an integrated marketing communication (IMC) campaign not only requires creative ideas but also a reasonable budget investment strategy. Smart budget allocation is the key to helping businesses both effectively convey messages and optimize return on investment (ROI).
What is IMC Plan?
IMC (Integrated Marketing Communication) is an integrated communication plan, combining communication tools such as advertising, PR, digital marketing, events, promotions... in a consistent manner to create a seamless experience for customers and convey the brand message clearly and synchronously. An effective IMC Plan is not simply "multi-channel coverage" but the harmonious coordination between communication tools to create a stronger overall impact than each part.

Benefits of Allocating Budgets Properly in IMC Plan
Optimizing ROI
Allocating the right budget to the most effective channels for each target customer group will help you maximize the value of each dollar spent. Instead of spreading it out and hoping, businesses can identify which “touch points” bring the highest conversion to focus on investing.

More flexibility and control
When you have a specific budget allocation plan for each stage and each channel, you can easily monitor the effectiveness, adjust the budget according to the market situation, and avoid waste or miss growth opportunities.
Create a consistent push for the entire campaign
Some brands may invest heavily in advertising but neglect PR or social media, resulting in a lack of consistency in the campaign. Allocating the budget appropriately will help communication activities support each other, creating a strong “common voice” for the brand.
Maximize the advantages of each channel
Each platform has its strengths. For example, Facebook Ads is effective for quick reach, while PR helps build long-term trust. Allocating the budget according to the characteristics of each channel helps to make the most of each “fishing rod”, not just relying on one source of fish.
