Although determined not to become despondent by the current economic downturn we know that the reality of the situation is affecting many of our clients. </strong></p> <p>For many working in marketing departments the fact that marketing budgets are often the first to come under the spotlight to save costs leaves little hope. During a recession the need for marketing can be greater but this view often this seems to carry little weight.</p> <p>Companies who strengthen their marketing strategies through wise spending and targeted campaigns can have greater success in difficult times. However this philosophy often goes unheeded.</p> <p>As in many things it is a question of balance. If budgets need to be reduced, successful marketing plans can be created with targeted aims and projects Results should be monitored at each stage, as a change in economic circumstances may need plans to be revised.</p> <p>Maintaining brand presence is vital. Electronic communications can reduce costs particularly on large volumes whilst still allowing you to communicate effectively with your customers. If your website is simply a brochure on a screen adapting this to become a place for discussion and industry communication could be worth considering.</p> <p>Combining traditional methods with targeted telemarketing can often create interest in your company. Additionally small events for key clients to join together, network and discuss business can often prove successful.</p> <p>Any design and marketing company should welcome the opportunity to assess your current situation. and suggest ways to make your budget, whatever its size, work harder for you.</p> </div> </span> </div> </div> <div class="grid_cols1 newsbottomgrid"> <div> </div> <div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="grid_cols1 lightpurple-bg"> <div class="grid_item1 " id="block1627"> <div class="instagram-top container"> <h2 class="subtitle"><p>The latest from Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/_primecreativedesign/">@_primecreativedesign</a></p></h2> </div> <div id="slick-ig" class="slick-initialized slick-slider"><div class="slick-list draggable" style="padding: 0px;"><div class="slick-track" style="opacity: 1;
