Business Tips during the Recession.

[great]

1) Cut costs cautiously. As soon as the economy starts slowing down, many business owners think they must cut costs. But this is a short-term solution. Only cut costs or decrease your prices if it won't harm your business later. You can always lower your price - but you can't always raise your price.

2) Think Sub- contractors - especially if health care costs are putting a strain on your budget. If you have employees, consider turning them into sub-contractors. There are very affordable, month-to-month video web conferencing services that allow you to still be in close daily contact.

3) Advertise, Advertise, & Advertise! During the last recession, McDonald's almost tripled their advertising campaign at a time when their competitors, namely Burger King, were cutting back. So even though this may seem counter-intuitive, a recession may be the time to increase your marketing. Hard economic times weeds out your competition, leaving the field wide open for you.

Whether in recession or in boom, cost cutting is always important. Most companies try to cut employee funds, benefits and training costs, which will inadvertently harm business, productivity and quality.

IMO entrepreneurs should cut fruitless costs like entertainment, traveling, renovation etc. Attract more customers by giving discounts; buy one get one free offers, shopping or dinner vouchers, and football match tickets, etc.
