So basically, nothing HAPPY about the new year. SAVE is not likely to survive. I hate that I'm already in a really difficult position, and now knowing that I'll be facing all this uncertainty going into the next year is not relieving at all. Is there anyone here who can help me see this differently or give me some motivation? I hate feeling the way I do right now.

How do you reliably estimate the cost of different marketing activities (email, social, web, etc) when you don't have specific people or tools allocated to each function and costs are spread across many channels? Ads seems the easiest, but even then there's time and overheads... I've been looking for a reliable model.
