Could you bring in more customers if you had a fresh look at your marketing?

Barclays bank is recommending to its customers ten ways to tighten up their businesses in these challenging times, including the review of sales techniques.

They are urging their customers to 'sell through the hard times' and 'not to cut back on sales and marketing, focus on working harder and smarter to close more deals'.

Here at 2updesign we're seeing an increase in marketing by our big business clients. They know that the best way to get more customers in is to create, and publicise, incentives. Smart SMEs are doing the same.

It needn't be big budget: Low cost promotions are our speciality, it just means that we need to think more creatively about your business. Maybe you just need strategically placed signage, or a low budget internet advertising campaign to boost your sales. For example, a couple of months ago we recognised that one of our client's target audience was in an office block with a cafe in the ground floor. We arranged that for a week, every sandwich that the cafe sold was wrapped in a printed bag with our client's logo across it. Creative thinking.

Because we're so friendly we offer a free consultation and quote service! Call us to arrange to meet, or just for a chat.
