Marketing Grants: Why So Much Money Goes Unclaimed
Many website, marketing and digitalization projects in the DACH region are wholly or partly eligible for grants. Yet that funding often goes unused – for a single reason: time.
/ 01 – The problem
Plenty eligible, little used – what’s really holding it back
There are many programs by country and region, plus shifting deadlines and formal applications. For lack of time, grants often go unused. Yet with the right support, exactly that burden can be taken off your hands – from choosing the program through to the final proof of use.
Good to know
- An initial grant check is part of the free strategy consultation – no obligation, no sales pressure.
- Many programs have deadlines or limited budgets – always submit the application before the project starts.
- Retroactive funding is rarely possible – checking early pays off.
With the right support, grants become simple. From choosing the program through to the final proof of use.

What’s commonly eligible for funding
Website and digitalization: relaunch, conversion optimization, tracking and automation.
Marketing and sales: strategy, campaigns, LinkedIn and content development.
Consulting and strategy: external consulting services, proportionally depending on the program.
Export and international: market entry into DACH, cross-border marketing – depending on the program.
Grant rates and maximum amounts vary by program – they’re clarified in the grant check rather than estimated here.
/ 03 – Process
From the grant check to implementation
1 · Grant check: we review which programs fit your project.
2 · Application and documentation: support with paperwork and the application – if needed, together with grant partners.
3 · Implementation: we carry out the funded project – billed by the hour, cancellable monthly.
4 · Proof of use: clean documentation for the funding body’s sign-off.
The country split matters: in Austria, national and regional programs apply, in Switzerland it’s innovation and location-based funding, in Germany federal and state programs. Which combination fits your project depends on location, size and plans – exactly what the grant check clarifies.
And the time factor is real: many programs have deadlines or limited budgets. Anyone who submits the application before the project starts is on the safe side – retroactive funding is rarely possible.
