There is no sugar coating it—we are living through some pretty challenging economic times. With the rising cost of living pushing up prices across the board, running a business right now requires a lot of resilience and careful planning.
But among the tough headlines, we have some really good news to share. There are some fantastic opportunities out there for local support and funding if you know where to look.
Recently, while out at a local networking event, we stumbled across a brilliant initiative called the Digital Springboard, provided by the team over at MENTA. They are offering all sorts of incredible support for businesses, ranging from expert coaching to direct financial grants.
Boosting Your Business Without Breaking the Bank
One of the best things about the Digital Springboard is that they are actively helping companies fund digital projects. This includes everything from refreshing your website to creating brand-new video content.
If you've been dreaming about using video to elevate your business but have been putting it off due to budget worries, this could be the exact lifeline you need.
Get a High-End Video for a Fraction of the Price
This is where your friendly team at Offset Films can step in to help. By pairing up with a grant like the Digital Springboard, you could secure our standard corporate film package—usually priced at £1699 + VAT—while only actually paying around 40% of the cost out of pocket. That means you get a professional, high-converting video for just £679.60 + VAT!
Why Video is Worth the Investment
Even in a tough economy, marketing is what keeps your business moving forward. A great video works around the clock for you to:
Attract fresh leads and grab the attention of new audiences.
Convert more enquiries into actual paying customers.
Boost your overall sales and increase brand awareness.
Supercharge the effectiveness of all your future marketing campaigns.
Practising What We Preach: Our Own Growth Journey
We underwent the digital training provided by MENTA. And applied and received business training from Creative East at Suffolk University. Both of these have provided invaluable education about building a sustainable and growing business. With plenty of practical tips to implement.
What Have You Got to Lose?
