Did Swine Flu give a bigger boost to the UK economy than monetary easing?

For weeks, the news was all about the recession. Then, just as the downward spiral seemed never ending, Swine Flu appeared!



Suddenly, we had something else to talk about. This was followed by the MPs expenses scandal and the 'R' word was pushed to a smaller news item on TV, on-line and in newspapers.



We stopped thinking about the economy in a negative way. We started to have conversations that weren't focused on financial doom and gloom and we began to look to the future.



I know we are not out of the woods yet. And perhaps monetary easing has had a positive effect. However, let's keep boosting the economy by keeping our positive outlook and help our businesses grow.

Local companies using recession to become more competitive

Businesses are finding new ways to be competitive in the recession through a series of business growth workshops being held in the Midlands.

The seminars are run by The Write Solution and IntegritUs Ltd.

Dave Lees and I believe passionately that with the right tools and techniques, local business can build on their strengths and beat the current doom and gloom.

With many years of experience in a wide-range of industries, we give local businesses tips and advice they can implement immediately that will make a difference to them in the coming weeks and months.

I believe this is the ideal time for firms to be looking at what they do, deciding where they want to be and finding new ways and opportunities to get them there.

In the workshops, Dave shares how to create an opportunity mindset and plan for success whatever the economic situation and I reveal the secrets to successful business promotions and explain different marketing tactics including public relations (PR).

An attendee from our last workshop, Richard Beldon from Lets Go Local said, “It was informative, creative and fun. It got the juices flowing nicely for the year ahead and was the kick start I needed to 2009!”

Our next seminar is being held in Burton-upon-Trent on Friday 13th March 2009, 9am – 4pm and costs just £50.00 per delegate. To book, call Hannah on 01283 808460 or email info@copywritingandpr.com.
