The recent announcement by Business Link that they are cutting all funding except for the Director Development Programme (DDP) is a real blow to businesses. As if the recession wasn’t hard enough to cope with. What little support SMEs could access has now been completely axed as part of the new Government’s spending reviews.

But, as we all know, there is no more important time to be marketing your business and its products and services than in a recession. So how can you do this and achieve great results whilst funding is getting tighter and tighter.

The answer! Get tough on your marketing strategy, and really get the most out of it. Focus on what is important. What is your company trying to achieve, and what key messages do you need to shout about to get this across to your customers and prospects?

One way you can do this is to access the DDP funding. We can help with the application process and if successful with your application, we can then put a strong marketing strategy in place for your business through our specialised training and mentoring packages.
