In every industry around, it seems that people are losing their jobs due to the recession we are currently in the middle of. Just this week, Royal Sun Alliance announced they are to cut 1,200 jobs by the middle of next year.
So why, we ask, are so many web service companies (whether this be design, development, SEO services etc) doing well and not feeling the squeeze of the aptly-named credit crunch? Some design companies are bound to experience some downturn or change in requests for services, whether that be from existing or new clients, but this could be a knock on effect from their clients industries being directly affected by the recession i.e. the motor industry. Micheal Wall posted an article about business slowing up early on in the year, and a short time after did a follow up post stating more clients have contacted him wanting a lot more for their money.  michael kors outlet canada online This perhaps goes to show that any slowdown in work at the moment shouldnt automatically be blamed upon the recession, but could be a normal lull in work that could occur at anytime regardless of the current financial climate.
The majority of people are noticing a positive upturn in the amount of work they keep receiving. We recently spoke with Mark, a director over at Coal Face Development about how he had also found an upturn in business since the recession began, "We work for both small and large design agencies and we have noticed that almost all of our clients have had an increased workload in the past few months. They seem to be busier than ever at the moment."
I believe the credit crunch has had a positive knock on effect in terms of a) making businesses  michael kors outlet store sale look at their marketing strategies more closely while helping to re-prioritise on necessities and b) making web service companies take a look their pricing structure, streamlining their services and offering more value for money.  michael kors outlet online reviews Making an existing website perform well, or incorporating cost-effective SEO into a new build can massively reduce other marketing costs, clients are recognising this and many are concentrating efforts on gaining additional business through their current, or new websites.
With SEO being a "high impact, high value tactic for reaching customers online" then its obvious why companies are beginning to realise why implementing a thorough SEO plan  michael kors discount outlet can benefit not just the recession-laden short term, but also the long term.
The emergence of social media has also provided companies with a low cost solution to networking and those that adopt long term social media optimisation strategies will benefit  michael kors outlet online official from engaging  michael kors purses both current and potential audiences.
Ironically, these are all issues that companies should be carrying out regardless of the economic climate. It is pushing both the companies who own websites and those that supply them to fully optimise their website to connect with the people looking for your content and for the web industry at least, that can only be a good thing.
