The recession is affecting all local business in different ways but one
definite problem is how to advertise your business in a cost effective way and
still pull in the orders you need to stay afloat.
Marketing costs can be a
huge part of your business expenses and if you do not monitor this in detail you
can easily see these costs spiraling out of control and severely affecting your
cash flow.
It is a difficult decision to cut your marketing costs and
advertising spend though because without any promotion your business will tread
water or worse you will lose revenue and your competitors will gain ground on
you or even overtake you in the marketplace.
So one activity you can perform
is to evaluate your current advertising and marketing plan and work out which
activities bring in the customers and which ones are just not working
effectively for you.
One good way of doing this is to ask every new customer
or contact where they have found your details prior to their communication with
you. You will be surprised at the answers I am sure and you may discover that
some of your more expensive marketing and advertising activities bring in the
least reward.
Most companies nowadays have an internet
presence [url=http://www.yeezyv2norge.com/...t-herre-lopesko.html]adidas
ultra boost herre salg[/url] , be it a company website, a blog, twitter or
facebook accounts and much more. If you do not have these in place rest assured
that your competitors will and before you know it you will be left behind and
lose market share.
One effective way of getting your website viewed by
prospective customers is article marketing. This consists of having an article
written which describes your company and its activities which will include links
back to your website. This article is then sent out to hundreds of article
networks who have categories for most businesses and you article is then
published on their network. As these networks have thousands or even millions of
readers you can rest assured that your article will be read and interested
people will click the link to your website.
This is what you call cost
effective targeted traffic, much cheaper than direct mailshots and faster than
any other type of marketing you could use. Within a few hours of your article
being published you will have hundreds of people visiting your website each day
and then it is up to you to convert these readers into buyers using your usual
strategies.
If you haven’t tried this type of marketing yet then you are
missing out and it could be the difference between you just surviving this year
or making a healthy profit and staying in business.

BRUSSELS, March 20 (Xinhua) -- The European Commission announced on Friday that Ukraine had joined the Horizon 2020 program to work with the European Union (EU) in science and research.
It said researchers, businesses and innovators from Ukraine will now be able to fully participate in the EU's research and innovation funding program on equal terms with EU member states and other associated countries.
An agreement for the association of Ukraine to Horizon 2020, was signed Friday in Kyiv by Carlos Moedas, European Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation, and Serhiy Kvit, Minister of Education and Science of Ukraine.
The agreement will need to be ratified by the Ukrainian Parliament to enter into force.
Moedas said: "Ukraine's great research and innovation potential offers promising partnerships for Europe. And Ukraine will now have access to the full spectrum of activities funded under Horizon 2020, helping spur its economy."
Horizon 2020 is the first EU program in which Ukraine has chosen to participate following the beginning of provisional application of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement.
After signing the political chapters of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement at the EU summit of March 21 last year, both parties signed the remaining sections of the agreement, including the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA), in the margins of the EU summit of June 27 last year.
With a budget of almost 80 billion euros (86.23 billion U.S. dollars) for 2014-2020, Horizon 2020 is the largest multinational program dedicated to research and innovation.
