How do we keep our prices so affordable? It's all about overhead. My production facilities are state-of-the-art, but I work from a home office to keep overheads capped. I share my office with my receptionist, a Siberian Husky by the name of Buffy. She's cute, she's extremely friendly, but she's unpaid. I have very little overhead other than my coffee addiction, and the savings flow straight through to my customers.

So if you’d like to squeeze more out of your marketing budget, give me a call on 575 4111 to make a time to meet. I can’t offer a fancy reception area or even a human receptionist . . . but I will give you my time for free, and I’ll help you to stretch your budget further during these trying times.
