Get discounts, retro discounting based on spend levels, consignment stocking and if possible bulk order with other companies to get an even higher discount. e.g. if there are several businesses under one roof maybe you can bulk buy stationary and get higher discounts.

If your competitor goes bust he will leave some customers behind who may come to you. Quite simply excellent customer care will really see you through as there are VERY few companies who are excellent at it although many think they are! If you want to know any thing about excellent customer care check out some of Tom Peters books. In many ways a recession can be an advantage to companies who have their wits about them.

Those who stick to the same old methods are the ones who won't survive! It requires some real thinking "outside of the box" Waiting for business to knock on your door ensures your downfall!

It frustrates me when everyone talks up a recession which makes it worse, people are so nihilistic. It’s nice of them to point out we are officially in a recession, as if everybody hadn’t noticed.
