Where would you put your $500 marketing budget right now? Impulse

September is Marketing and Branding Month in Inman. Tips for better branding and in-depth features on how to take advantage of marketing tools provided by Zillow, Redfin and other platforms are all in the works, in addition to expert insights. You’ll find it all at Inman, along with our two-day virtual flagship event, Your Playbook for the Fall Market, in October.

Pulse is a recurring feature where we ask readers for their opinions on various topics in a weekly survey and report our findings.

When you started, you may have started marketing your business. You may have taken advantage of free options like social media to get your name out there in your community without spending on advertising.

Over the past two years, you may have taken advantage of such an active market that you didn’t need to spend a lot of money on marketing. In fact, your phone may have been ringing nonstop with eager buyers hoping you had the magic bullet to help them find one of the few listings in your market with low inventory.

Now, as the market turns, you may need to put a little more time, money, and thought into your marketing. If so, we’ve got a hypothetical scenario for you for this week’s Pulse: You have $500 to invest in your marketing plan right now. Where do you spend it? Give us your plan below.

We will publish our findings with the best answers next week on Tuesday.
