================== ARTICLE START ==================
Just because you have to stretch your marketing dollars doesn't
mean their effectiveness will decrease. The easiest marketing
solution is often to simply throw money at a problem. But that
is rarely the most effective. When Businesses are forced to use
creativity and ingenuity to market on a budget, that is when
some of the best results happen.

There are always going to be rough times in any business. But
those who throw money at their marketing problems instead of
finding alternative means will find themselves in a tough
financial situation.

Here are a few cheap and easy marketing methods that won't
drain your bank account:

1. Learn to barter. Not every price is fixed. For instance, TV
and radio time that goes unsold is wasted forever, so stations
will usually accept offers below their normal rates.

2. Create your own marketing materials with desktop publishing
programs. These programs are easy to learn and use, so after a
few hours of study, you'll know your way around well enough to
create simple marketing materials. If you aren't confident in
your design skills, find a sample piece to model yours after.
In the marketing world, looking over someone else's shoulder
for the right answer is permissible.

3. Get a toll-free number. Although long distance rates are
more affordable than ever, most people will still hesitate to
call a long distance number. If you have a toll free number,
there is nothing standing between you and your potential
customers.

4. Buy smaller print ads and run them consistently. In the end,
the repetitive printing of your ads will elicit more results
than running a few large, impressive ads.

5. Buy cable TV ads. Now anyone, no matter how tight their
budget, can advertise on television. Cable rates are incredibly
cheap and you can even target your commercials to specific parts
of the city.

6. Get the cell phone package with the most minutes and give
your number to everyone. When customers can get a hold of you
anytime of the day or night, you can connect to more
person-to-person sales.

7. Don't sacrifice your image by accepting shoddy production or
design. A shoddy advertisement gives you a shoddy image.
Continue to hire professionals to design your ads, but shop
around for the best prices. Hire a professional designer to
create a visual format, then hire a lower-cost designer to do
your follow-up ads with the original as a guide.
