Strike While the Iron is Hot Using the Recession to Your Advantage
These last few weeks of our economic downturn got everyone wound up. From business owners, to CEO’s and back to the consumers – everyone is at a panic about the recession, and the bailout we are in. But what is a recession, really? How is it lack of bailout impacting your life?
On the consumer side we are all hurt – prices on all goods and services are due to go up and we are all preparing for that D-Day invasion, presedent-elect Obama is already planning for it before getting to office. On the flip side, as small business owners we think of this as a gain or a loss?
In the world of lending, as chaotic as it turned out to be, the survivors are thinking of this as an advantage. When the competition of Citi Group, WaMu, NationalCity, are dropping out like flies, those that remain standing have already stepped up.
Small business owners – the time to expand is now, right now not next month or next year. Everything is at a fire-sale prices. As Christmas is approaching get ready to take advantage of the price cuts…we already know they are going to hike up. Business financing is at it’s lowest, the trick is getting to the places that are still financing small businesses.
Begin your research online for business loans, and business financing options. Having strong business credit is a plus, but alternative financing is not limited to just the banks that look at credit. Peer-to-Peer lending sites, merchant circles, and other social media outlets offer plenty of opportunity to find a way to get the money you need to expand.
Sincerely,

Re: How should i promote a new website?
- ignore this message IF it's already been stated. I haven't had a chance to read all the replies and i have to jet from the office...
I suggest marketing where ever your Target Market congregates. If it's a forum of concerned parents - go there. Strike up a deal with the forum owner (JV) and have him promote it to the list of members (Integration Marketing).
If you want to go with Forums then i would partner with a parent who is a frequent poster/moderator on a particular Target Market Forum and have him/her add your link to their signature.
That was just a thought but it's not as intense once you get buy in from the Forum owner or high ranked poster/moderator.
Hope that sparks some new ideas.
