When Business Runs Dry...It's The Time To Turn On The Tap! How to Survive The Hard Times.



So, times are tough, core expenses are going up, and everybody is looking to save money. Are the services that you provide seen as optional? For example - Do you manage a restaurant? Maybe you provide a luxury service? Are you in the leisure industry? Maybe you sell high-end goods? If so, you have almost certainly seen a decline in business!

It's simple really, everyone is looking to cut their unnecessary spending, and discretionary costs are the first to go! Everyone needs to eat and everyone needs their haircut... But they don't need to go to a quality restaurant to dine, and they won't need a £50 haircut... Or maybe they do?

Now's the time to draw in the customers, it may not seem like it, but there are certainly STILL people out there looking for your business - and you need them to find you first. And the answer is simple.... Advertising!

Now's the time to create catchy offers, it's the time to strike that iron and get the word out - "This is what I do - And this is WHY you want ME to do it for YOU".

Flyer Design is one very affordable solution, and so is Leaflet Design. Perhaps create some Posters too? Talk to the pro's to create something special - that revolutionary tool that will make people come to YOU! .. Do the maths - How many new customers do you actually need to cover the small amount of money you spent on advertising? If you do a good job and they return again and again, think how much MORE profit have actually you made!

The experts at persona lvisual know that times are tough which is why they are on hand to create you an irresistible Flyer, Leaflet, Business Card, Poster, T-shirt or Video (plus so much more) - Fast and Affordable!

Can you afford not to? Why not tackle the tough times right now - If you can survive this period you will be laughing when times are good once again - It will be a breeze - You will have given yourself a significant head start and have the spare money you need to enjoy that well-deserved break, that new vehicle or that lovely restaurant you've desired for so long! It's time to ACT, times are tough.... Be Tougher!

My entry - 1. The Best Business Books Ever: The 100 Most Influential Business Books You'll Never Have Time to Read - this is a fascinating book about the history of Business theory, and I'd recommend it to anybody. 2.

Your Intial Mistakes Business - Hi, When I started my business I had made a lot of mistakes initially. These helped me in learning the art of the trade and today when I look back, I feel that these mistakes were quite silly. I had made my learnings then and those learnings have helped me time and again. Some of the mistakes I made were - i. Wrong Time Management ii. Wasting money on glossy Brochures and Business cards iii. Believing what they taught me at school was 100% correct iv. Giving too much when it was not required......

Re: Info for would be franchisers... - [quote="Sebastien":1d29sdv1]Like Franchise Times, Franchise Update is a very practical magazine. There is no blah blah, just straight facts that anyone in the franchise community can relate to. I just want to mention that all these magazines are NOT franchisee oriented. I mean these magazines are for franchise professionals. If you're looking to buy a franchise, you won't find much information in there. To answer your question, getting published in Franchise Times was fairly easy. I don't want to brag too much but I think I am known in the franchise industry. I was the marketing guy at Franchise.com for a few years before joining my new company, the World Franchising Network. So people know me and I have a very good relationship with Nancy Weingartner, the Managing Editor at Franchise Times. I was talking with her at the last Franchise Expo South in Miami and she mentioned she'd like me to be profiled. I was like "ok, sure!". I like this franchise executive profile thing in Franchise Times as it is rarely BS. People are usually really natural in there.[/quote:1d29sdv1] Thanks for the follow up Sebastien! And I can't say that I'm surprised that networking with the right people and managing your relationships with them properly are the keys to being published. I guess the old adage holds true of "it's not who you know, but who knows you" that's important.
Does a New Company need a "Big" PR firm? - I've started work with a brand new company that is going to do loss mitigation. My boss intends to hire a "big" PR firm - ie one that costs a lot of money - because he wants press releases sent out to the New York Times, the LA Times - all the major papers around the country - and he think they'll be more likely to print them if they come from a "big" firm as opposed to a one-person PR firm. I think it doesn't matter where the press release comes from as long as its well written. What are the opinions here?
