Happy New Year
As
2009 gets underway, there's no denying that trading conditions can only
be described as tricky at best! However with a positive,
pro-active attitude we will all survive! Trading successfully
through a recession means that we will all have to work a bit smarter
but in some ways this could be seen as a healthy wake-up call for us
all and we are determined to make the most of the opportunities that
arise.
So far we are pleased to note that most businesses
seem to be stepping up their marketing to boost sales (good plan!),
while everyone wants their marketing budget to work harder and give a
clear return on investment which is something we always aim for.
Best Wishes
Kate and Claire

Activate your Advertising
|
Advertising is a critical part of any successful marketing campaign but
buying space quickly eats into your budget. To ensure that you
are getting the best value for money here are some top tips for 2009:
· Make a commitment for a longer period to negotiate the best rates
· Ensure that publications know what kinds of late deals might
interest you
· Get your advert designed professionally to make the best use of
the available space - Active ad designs start from just £60
· Research your publications carefully - request a media pack and a
sample copy before you make any commitments
For further advice or to find out more about appointing Active as your advertising agent call 01603 716700

| Designing your way out of the downturn
|
Contrary to suggestions that tough times may call for cuts to
"discretionary" budgets such as marketing, research published by the
Design Council suggests that businesses clearly recognise the value of
good design to help them fight the current economic crisis. 54%
of those questioned felt that design would help them to a large extent
to maintain their competitive edge in the current climate. There are
many ways design can help your business perform more strongly, from
improving your image (internally and externally), to innovating your
products or services, and even saving you money.
For
further information about how great graphic design can help your
business to thrive, not just survive contact Claire on 01485 609154

| Network your way to success in 2009

It
seems that people are finally catching on to something the Active team
have been saying for quite some time - networking might just be the key
to business success in 2009. Cost-effective and accessible to
all, networking is a great way to build business contacts without
breaking the bank.
