Neotrope is helping to ensure small businesses can manage their budgets and not cross their own debt ceiling when doing PR and promotion, by rolling back service pricing on Send2Press(R) Newswire press release writing and targeted news distribution packages to 2008 levels.
“Many of our clients had great growth in the period of 2005-2008, and then when the economy tanked in 2009 and 2010, promotional budgets got constrained, and some companies had to abandon marketing and PR altogether,” said Neotrope CEO, Christopher Laird Simmons; a member of PRSA and ASCAP. “This year we’ve heard from a lot of companies coming back from the brink, and they have asked for discounts or considerations, and we have rolled back our service plan pricing where possible to accommodate our clients.”
Most Send2Press service plan pricing has been reduced back to 2008 levels, which amounts to an immediate 10 to 20 percent price “roll back” effective August 1, 2011, on most services. The roll-back soft launched the last week of July, and already most customers have responded favorably.
“Many marketing firms and news services arbitrarily raise their rates each year, and we followed suit this year after holding the line for many years; as it turned out, that wasn’t what our customers needed at the exact moment their budgets again allowed for marketing campaigns,” said Simmons. “This roll-back program will help those clients bring their businesses back up to speed without having to face their own debt crises like the U.S. is experiencing right now.”
