Budgeting
 

Budgeting is important because it gives marketing and e-business management a greater vision of your expectations in relation to the rest of the company. A thoroughly planned budget can lead to reduced administrative costs and tasks, increased service levels to employees, and freeing up the finance department to focus on strategy, not spreadsheets. 

Another consideration for budgeting goes beyond an employee’s salary. There should also be consideration towards an employee’s bonus structure. An employee incentive plan is a very important aspect of creating additional revenues for a company. A budget should include an incentive plan for the e-commerce manager that would pay out if they increase overall company sales through online business transactions; if they decrease transactional time with regard to checking and approving e-commerce orders; and additional revenues gained from selling Web advertising and/or preferred placement within the program’s product search results.

Budgeting is also important because it allows management the tools to increase and decrease budgets depending on economic and other environmental circumstances.  During our next discussion we will speak directly about reducing costs.
