How to create more marketing budget

A breakthrough solution only from Think Smart Marketing

A new way for you to fund sales and marketing projects, bring forward those you’ve had to put off and scale up those you’ve had to scale back….and save money in the process.

Reasonably compelling in today’s challenging environment?

In challenging economic conditions most companies go into hibernation. They batten down the hatches and only invest where and when absolutely necessary.

It is often argued that really savvy organisations see this as the perfect time to capitalise on their competitors’ comparative silence /misfortune by promoting themselves harder than ever with the objective of stealing relatively low cost market share….almost while everyone else is distracted with their own internal issues. Of course once the market improves, those who have invested are now well ahead of the competition.

For most areas of business some sort of finance model has long been an option. HP, Leasing, Factoring are all common place and familiar terms to those with a responsibility for buildings, technology, plant or vehicles. It’s an obvious way to free up “capital” budget, to spread the cost and frankly, to afford things you couldn’t pay for up front.

Until now, those with a responsibility for sales or marketing have not had access to such intelligent finance options. Yet as websites, CRM Projects, eCommerce engines, intranets and other sales and marketing initiatives all become more central and strategic to the overall success of the business operation, more and more companies are looking for intelligent ways of funding them.

Think Smart clients are no exception and in response we’ve teamed up with smartfundit.com, the online business finance marketplace, to provide a unique solution to the sales and marketing industry.

It is now possible to finance certain marketing projects through smartfundit.com. Its online marketplace connects your business with a network of finance providers who compete online enabling you to source and secure competitive funding for your business in minutes.

For Think Smart clients it means they can spread the cost over several years or pull forward projects they’ve had to shelve or scale up those they’ve had to “dumb down” to meet this year’s budget. And what’s more, it can even cost them less with some of the tax benefits associated with the model.

In practical terms it means it’s now possible for our clients to use the current climate to make significant progress, steal market share and “create” marketing budget.
