The amount of budget you need to spend on digital marketing will depend on a variety of factors, including your company's size, the industry you're in, and the goals you want to achieve [like leads, sales, branding, traffic, and others related].
That said, here are a few tips on how to allocate your digital marketing budget wisely:
1. Focus on high-return activities: When allocating your budget, make sure to focus on high-return activities that will help you achieve your business goals. These activities may include things like social media advertising, content creation, SEO, influencer marketing, and email marketing. Of course, this is specific to your business you need to arrive at.

3. Make sure your budget is realistic: Don't set your digital marketing budget too high if you know it's not feasible for your company's size and resources. It's better to have a realistic budget than one that's too ambitious and results in disappointment down the road.
Overall, make sure that you are targeting the right audience and with a good marketing budget.
