Creative ways to avoid having your department "punished" with a lower budget next year...

 I ran across a great article that suggests 4 ways for companies to "wisely" use monies left in budgets at the year-end. I believe in all four! 

I will share two of the four which I'm most emphatic about and the one which I am also biased toward; because they all are services which my company, All Solutions Known offers. 

Whether it’s accounting, human resources, research and development, sales and marketing, IT, or engineering, those departments who spend less toward expenses than they are given by the company often find themselves “punished” with lower budgets in the following year. In contrast, those groups who somehow manage to earmark an operational need for every dollar afforded to them are routinely rewarded for their efforts. It’s one of the great ironies of the corporate economy.


1. Assign resources to marketing efforts


Hello! Can I get an "Amen"? 


This is really "genius" because you are actually getting double value with my tip: Order IMPRINTED pens for your office supplies! There are other office supplies and IMPRINTED desk supplies which you can use to inspire, promote and motivate! Just think of any type of office supply and have it do "double duty" for you as an office item and a promo item! 

3. Take a moment to recognize employees


Use IMPRINTED items to recognize employees... Again, there are literally thousands of items that will surely fit any recognition and any employee. What many do not know is that you no longer need to purchase in quantity; many IMPRINTED items can be ordered in just one or two pieces. Consider awards and similar types of things. 

4. Invest in professional development


Thirdly, I am a speaker and trainer (using Jack Canfield's tools, and my own). 

I hope that you can see how you can easily use imprinted promotional items to take care of those last monies you still have so you won't be 

... “punished” with lower budgets in the following year ...
