Epcon citing NAHB/SBA: ~5% of gross projected revenue to maintain awareness, 10% if growing market share
Created 2026-05-23
Claim: Epcon, citing NAHB and SBA, recommends "around 5% of gross projected revenue to maintain current awareness," 10% if growing market share.
Confidence: Single-source (Epcon citing NAHB/SBA without permalink to primary).
Caveat: This is the aspirational ceiling — very few small builders hit it. The 1-1.5% floor from PWSC / Professional Builder: recommended marketing spend no more than 1.5% of projected revenue, at least half digital is the more honest working number.
