Some companies spend upwards of 8-15% when warranted –especially young companies that need to invest to build their brand
For example: Target spends 2% of its sales on advertising, while Best Buy spends upwards of 3%. Finally, more upscale stores like Macy’s typically spend on the order of 5%
Automakers generally spend between 2.5% to 3.5% of revenue on marketing, liquor (5.5% to 7.5%), packaged goods (4% to 10%), and every other industry
Businesses should allocate a minimum of 3-5% of total sales to advertising and marketing. However, allocationwill depend on several factors: the industry you’re in, the size of your business, and its growth stage. For example,during the early brand building years retail businesses spend much more than other businesses on marketing – upto 20% of sales
As a general rule, small businesses with revenues less than $5 million should allocate 7-8% of their revenues tomarketing

Implementing an electronic health record system. London: Springer; 2005. p. 183-91. A needs assessment allows an analyst to identify areas where a process does not match its needs. It allows an individual or group to prioritize needs on a cost and benefit basis by examining what would occur if the gap were closed versus ignored.
Clear objectives are the best way to ensure you’re creating a measurable, actionable, and results-oriented needs assessment. Before you can start collecting and analyzing information for your needs assessment, take some time to consider your desired outcomes.
When you identify—and resolve—needs, you can act on potential new opportunities, like making processes more efficient, streamlining resource allocation, and identifying resource gaps in your current workflow . For example, say your team is working on a process to organize customer data.
