Definition (2):
“Net marketing contribution (NMC) is a calculation that determines whether a company's current marketing strategy is enough to cover the costs associated with marketing and sales.”
Companies measure marketing profits in terms of it. It is composed of 3 chief elements: sales, gross margin’s percentage, and marketing & sales expenses or M&SE. The present market demand and the market share of your company are crucial factors in the calculation of the NMC. In the basic calculation of NMC, sales revenue is multiplied by the gross profit and then marketing expenses are subtracted from it. The calculation becomes more complicated when you try to determine your company’s actual sales revenue and gross profit in association with the market share and market demand.
