Matching Grants paying for Web sites, brochures and more!  

Fascinating part … it’s true!! You can get a $150K Web site with bells and whistles for only $75K … or do a multi-drop direct mail program for half-price or … the list goes on and on.  It’s a pretty cool program.  

In a nutshell, here’s how it works. The U.S. Department of Commerce is offering matching grants (up to $75,000) to companies demonstrating business impact from foreign competition under a program called Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA). Grants can be utilized for marketing projects, such as research, strategy consulting, advertising, collateral design, and Web site development.

While we at Mercury have a passion for the program’s marketing and sales aspect, to be honest there’s a host of other options too – from product development to training. Just remember, multiple grants are possible … so think marketing and sales … think Mercury.

From what we understand from one of our client’s who is a program participant, the application process is relatively painless and it’s pretty quick. To learn more about the TAA program, visit www.appliedstrategiesintl.com or www.taacenters.org.

Free money without a ton of effort … now, there’s a brighter light to this economic downturn.
