There is a clear relationship between the size of each company and the number of hours spent marketing per week. Vistaprint micro businesses spend an average of eight hours marketing their business per week.

MOST IMPORTANT CHANNELS
Vistaprint micro buinesses have a clear idea of which channel is most important to their business. It's no surprise to find that many strongly value physical direct marketing techniques such as postcard mailing.

MONEY-DEPENDENT CHANNELS
AS seen from their typical marketing spend, many micro businesses are budget-constrained; they would utilize some traditionally expensive channels like physical direct marketing and TV/radio/newspaper ads more if they had larger budgets

TIME-DEPENDENT CHANNELS
Many report that they would utilize some channels (particularly online direct marketing and social media) more if they had the time; by positioning convenient offerings in these spaces, Vistaprint can take the lead.
