In an era of rising advertising costs, a Marketing strategy of “saving in the right places – spending smart” is the key to survival for SMEs. If your business is constantly under pressure to cut advertising budgets, DPS.MEDIA's comprehensive approach will help you free up resources, flexibly allocate costs while still focusing on the channels that deliver the best conversion rates.The key point that DPS.MEDIA brings to SMEs lies in analyzing real-world data, identifying the right points to “invest” and “cut”, thereby making budget decisions scientifically instead of emotionally. By applying technology and specialized management systems, we have proven that cost optimization does not mean sacrificing efficiency; on the contrary, it can drive outstanding revenue growth for businesses.
The reason why this topic has become urgent is the reality: nearly 60% of the marketing budget of SMEs in Vietnam is often wasted on ineffective channels, according to an internal survey by DPS.MEDIA in 2023. Without choosing the right consulting and implementation partner, businesses will find it very difficult to control cash flow for each marketing campaign, easily falling into the situation of “investing a lot but gaining little.”.
DPS.MEDIA is committed to providing streamlined – effective – transparent marketing solutions, helping hundreds of Vietnamese SMEs “turn every budget dollar into real results.”. This is not just a promise, but also proven hands-on experience across many fields and industries.
Target customer persona analysis: The first step to cost optimization
Identify core factors to target the right potential audience
Analyzing the target customer profile is the foundation that helps SMEs allocate marketing resources effectively. DPS.MEDIA helps businesses answer important questions:
- Who are the potential customers? (age, gender, income, consumer behavior)
- What problems are customers facing that the product/service can solve?
- Which platform do they use most to access information?
Prioritize resources based on in-depth analytical data
DPS.MEDIA leverages real data from advertising channels and digital platforms to establish a target customer classification table. This allows businesses to:
| Benefit | Benefits achieved |
|---|---|
| Target the right audience | Increase conversion rates, reduce wasted advertising costs |
| Optimize budget | Allocate rationally, focus on the most effective channel |
| Personalize content | Increase engagement, build brand goodwill |
Choose the appropriate communication channel for each industry
Choose the right channel – Optimize budget, increase effectiveness
Vietnamese SMEs often wonder where to invest for effective marketing without wasting budget. To choose the right marketing channel and optimize efficiency, SMEs need to clearly identify:
- Target customer segment
– Who are they? Which platforms do they frequent? (Facebook, Zalo, TikTok, Google Search…)
- Available budget
– With a small budget, prioritize channels that maximize efficiency (e.g., Facebook ads, Zalo OA, Google Ads can still reach many customers with a small budget).
– You can start with free channels like Fanpage, groups, website SEO, then use the budget for paid ads later.
- Business sector
– B2C products: use Facebook, TikTok, Zalo effectively
– B2B services: try LinkedIn, email marketing, or combine with online seminars
- Experiment and measure
– Invest a small amount in 2-3 channels, measure effectiveness (number of interactions, orders, cost per potential customer, etc.) to decide which channel to focus the budget on.
CONCLUSION:
Avoid “spreading too thin”,choose 1-2 channels to focus on according to your target customers and measure regularly to optimize your budget,increase marketing effectiveness.
Apply automation technology in campaign management
Accelerate budget allocation with AI & big data
Thanks to big data and artificial intelligence (AI), DPS.MEDIA continuously refines campaigns for SMEs. For example, the system automatically identifies potential customer groups based on real behaviors, reducing costs for ineffective segments. According to McKinsey, businesses applying automation can increase marketing ROI by up to 20% in just 6 months of implementation.
- Automatically adjust budget: Flexible 24/7 budget allocation based on performance, no need to wait for manual reports.
- Multi-channel management: Simultaneous monitoring of multiple platforms, from Google Ads to Facebook, with just one centralized operation.
- Smart reporting: The system automatically sends detailed analyses, clearly highlighting cost – effectiveness for each stage.
Case study: Cosmetic channel optimizes costs thanks to automation
| KPI | Before automation | After automation |
|---|---|---|
| Average CPA | 115,000 VND | 72,000 VND |
| Conversion rate | 2.3% | 4.8% |
| Order volume | 80 orders/month | 170 orders/month |
A cosmetics client of DPS.MEDIA once “endured” a series of manual ads, wasting over 43% of their budget on non-potential customer segments. After integrating the automated optimization system, the budget was proactively allocated to campaigns with high conversion rates, reducing costs and increasing actual order numbers.
A new perspective: Not all SMEs need to “do everything themselves”
According to DPS.MEDIA's observation, many SMEs are still “hesitant” to automate due to concerns about high system investment costs or lack of technological understanding. However, support from specialized units like DPS helps SMEs save up to 45% on trial-and-error costs. Professor P.Kotler also emphasized: “When technology reduces repetitive tasks, businesses will have more time to create content and build a more sustainable brand.”
