Times are tough. Everyone is hugging their money closer, budgets are being slashed, businesses are going under. As the co-owner of a two-year old start-up, I’ve quickly familiarized myself with the stress and pressure that most of you are under right now. Your employees and your clients are relying on you to weather the storm -- no easy feat when you’re trapped in an erratic and unpredictable economy, with no foreseeable end in sight.
In my own company, I realize that one of two things are possible:
1) WDFA will lose some stability going forward as new prospective clients maintain conservative spending because of the lack of dollars, or
2) WDFA will offer something very, very competitive in pricing and quality, helping prospective clients stretch their dollars as far as possible, so we can all survive these times together
But I’ve never been one to sit on the sidelines and see what plays out.
Negative economical aftershocks are affecting everyone, but one of the biggest mistakes that a business can make is putting its head in the sand. To survive this Darwinian phase you’ve got to adapt, to take advantage of what you can, when you can. As competitors in your field struggle to make ends meet or disappear altogether (760,000 jobs lost so far this year!), it’s prime time to cash in on empty advertising space. Opportunities for your brand’s visibility have just increased, and it’d be foolish not to take advantage.
Now is not the time for creativity to be stifled and we could all use a little extra something to help us survive. This is why, for the first six months of 2009, WDFA will offer a special rate on creative design and production design:
50 hours of all the creativity you can handle for $1,800/month. That’s only $36/hour.
You may ask yourself why we’re offering our services for so little, or thinking that I made a typo, or that I've had one too many drinks. But to be honest, you shouldn’t have to sacrifice the quality of your business’s image just because Wall Street is out of control.
A discounted rate doesn’t mean cheap creative or bad ideas –- We just want to do whatever we can to keep your brand (and our business) afloat. You can still produce stellar results in a cost-efficient way.
