marketing expenses

Brand promotion budget

Marketing expenses are costs a business incurs to promote its products or services—advertising, market research, public relations, promotional materials, and related activities.

Companies track these separately from operational costs: Marketing expenses consumed twelve percent of revenue last quarter.

The category sometimes stretches to include sales commissions and customer acquisition costs.
