Default Budget question

Curious how others split their budget between internet marketing (including SEO), newspaper advertising, and other print media like magazines and mailings.

Personally, I promote listings in the paper on a limited basis (just enough to keep clients happy) - I haven't used magazines yet, and I stopped my efforts with mailing to my farm area before it showed any return.

Looking at where I want to allocate my budget this year.

Thanks in advance for sharing!

We spend 75% to buy leads on internet and 25% on print media . as leads on internet can be effectively tracked and you can pay for only valid leads it makes internet best option to spend and gather leads for real estate

I read somewhere that Realtors spend 11 billion dollars on advertising. They only spend 11% of that for online advertsing. My ratio is 75% online and 25% in print mostly on stamps and postcards
