Do not worry if this is the case as unfortunately with the times in the way that they are at the moment, this is the norm for many businesses. However are you doing what many companies are doing and just blaming things like a poor advertising agency?

If you are not concentrating enough of your cash flow into advertising then the chances are you are not doing too well as a company. The big companies like Pepsi and Coca Cola can afford to have huge advertising campaigns that include television ads, magazine articles and even mobile phone ads. What can you do to really boost the way in which your company is seen? Well for starters it might be worth looking into hitting your business’s local town. Sometimes this is a lot cheaper and can be a good way to start out advertising for your company. By doing this you will start to bring in a few customers that may give you enough money to take it a bit further. There are a number of ways to advertise and they don’t always have to be £20,000 television ads. Many giant companies were once in your shoes and were short of money, they used cheaper means to get their name out there.

Is your website a bit rubbish compared to your competitiors? The internet is becoming an increasingly important medium each year, with more and more transactions taking place online, led by giants such as amazon.{com and ebay}. It works if you use the appropriate web designers and SEO team. Searching for a local web designer would be my advice to a business looking to save costs, because often the best deal is right on your doorstep - for example enter something locally specific in your search engine such as Brighton web design

Offline branding is equally important of course, and making sure you have the right design for print is key to becoming a success simply because if you manage to do it right you can really make a difference and stand out above your compeition. Get together a meeting with not just the owners but the majority of the company, come up with some quirky ideas, if you think that one is unique then use it as it could be the one that brings in a lot of income for your business.
