LOCAL MARKETING AGENCY OFFERS LOCAL BUSINESSES FREE MARKETING ASSISTANCE

BARNET, UK – 22 September 2008 – Calashock Marketing, Barnet’s local marketing agency, announced today that it is offering marketing support and advice to businesses local to the Barnet area.

Luigi Moccia, Managing Director of Calashock, said: "The local economy is something which is often overlooked in importance, yet forms the backbone of the local community. Restaurants, hotels, manufacturing and distribution companies are mostly owned by local residents, and it is important to work towards the long-term survival of these businesses".

"As a local business ourselves, we are part of the local economy" he continued.

Companies with an annual turnover of £250,000 or less will qualify for a free marketing review, whereas companies with an annual turnover of more than £250,000 will pay a discounted price of just £117.50.

>The marketing review will assess the company’s current marketing and their sustainability in the market, and will make recommendations presented in a brief report. Should companies then wish to have a more in-depth review, this can also be arranged through Calashock.

The current uncertainty in the UK economy has lead Calashock to launch this initiative.

"Many businesses in the local area are managed by the owners, which means too much work and not enough hours. Therefore, there could be aspects of the business which are overlooked, purely due to time constraints. By offering companies this support, we aim to address those concerns and help businesses ride the current wave of economic uncertainty".

Calashock is well place to offer businesses support, as not only does it understand the local economy, but it has also developed economical marketing products for small businesses.
