E. Paraphrasing

Most small hospitality business spends more than the business earns.

Even if they have managed funds to marketing, the new owners often find that the actual costs are much higher; they also often find that marketing is a great deal less effective than they had perceived. Therefore, the use of strategies that reduce the cost of marketing can mean the difference between survival and going down.
 Generally, small business owners cannot call upon specialist external marketing support without having to pay high prices. So the more they use the skills of in-house employees, the less work thy need to outsource, and the more cost-effective the marketing becomes.

            The insight that you can do without marketing altogether is untrue.
