Defender of the Budget

Part of the challenge of marketing is directing the budget to where you can get the best ROI. While I am not a fan of buying something that doesn’t represent your brand just because it’s cheap, that doesn’t mean you can’t buy strategically.  These sale, clearance and budget branded products will help your marketing dollars go further.
