There's no getting away from it.  Business is getting tough out there.  But pulling marketing and pr activity is a bad move.  However, there are ways of reducing budgets without affecting quality.

Many businesses retain PR agencies on contracts to carry out campaigns.  For many, these agencies carry out quality and creative wide-ranging campaigns but for some all they are paying for is a press release service.  In many cases the client is expected to come up with the ideas!

These clients can cut their PR budgets by simply using a press release service (www.pressgenerator.com).  If they know what the target market is and they know how many press releases they use a year - it's simple.

Just think retainers of a thousands pounds a month could be reduced to a couple of hundred.  Imagine a whole year's PR campaign for a couple of grand!!!

Brides seeking the perfect venue for their big day may be interested to learn about a re-vamped website which could help to seal the deal.

Property Owl has completed a recent survey titled ‘They are all on the move; who would you prefer to live next door to you?   Amy Winehouse, Heather Mills, Robert Mugabe, Pete Doherty, Bianca Jackson (Eastenders).

Property Owl found that most people would prefer Heather Mills to all the others with 33% of the total vote.  In joint second Amy Winehouse and Robert Mugabe both had 30%.  Not one person voted for Pete Doherty or Bianca Jackson who take the accolade as the worst people you want living next door to you.

On a more serious note, if Pete or Bianca did move next door to you, you may find your house price dropping even further.
