Totally agree that its always worth trying to negotiate. As the adage goes “if you dont ask, you dont get”. Negotiation always has a chance of success, especially if you have prepared and know what the other side needs as well as what you want.

Hi Marjorie:

Thanks for the great feedback, and for taking the time to stop by. In an economy like this, few realize that completely abandoning your marketing efforts will put you out of business faster than spending too much money. There is a happy medium, and hopefully this article is it!

Thanks again for writing!

Excellent piece, Eric. Too few entrepreneurs take the time to actually PLAN a strategy, and include in it a way to measure its effectiveness! I kept reading your mistakes and going, “yes!”

Spoken like a person who has been there before. It’s absolutely shocking how low some of these “rack rates” can go if you put up even a little bit of a fuss.

Thanks for commenting!

Mistake #4 is great advice!

If you are still using traditional methods of advertising (yellow pages, billboards, etc.) always try to negotiate better deals with those companies. More often than not, almost all will agree to a reduced rate rather than having you walk away. They need your money and your business and most are always open to reduced rates in order to bring you aboard.
