Get a map of your city and study it carefully to see which neighborhoods appeal to you the most. But remember to always keep your budget limita- tions in mind. Undoubtedly, most people would prefer to live in prosperous, upscale neighborhoods, but this isn't always financially possible. It's important to be realistic. Many people have made the mistake of overextending themselves financially simply because they got carried away. You may also want to consider looking at neighborhoods which are being revamped and revitalized. Many people have benefited from buying "handyman's specials' in areas where extensive renovations have taken place (Cabbagetown in Toronto is a prime exam- ple). Property values in such locations often soar once revitalization gets under way. Get a Feel for the Area Drive around the neighborhoods that appeal to you and try to get a general feel for the com- munity. Do people appear to take pride in their proper- ties? Tidy, well-kept pro- perties usually indicate a stable neighborhood with a good sense of community spirit.

DID YOU KNOW: When a recession hits and business goes flat, the temptation is to cut costs, especially your company's investment in such intangibles as advertising. But studies show cutting back on advertising is a mistake. Studies show that during the 1981-82 recession, companies that didn't reduce their advertising had a much greater sales growth during and after the recession than firms that cut back. Firms that maintained or increased levels of advertising during the last recession saw an average sales increase over the five years (1980-85) of 275%. But companies that reduced their advertising - or stopped it altogether - saw their sales increase just 19% during the same period. Now, more than ever, it is important that we learn the lessons of the past. Your advertising budget may be the most important key to your firm's prosperity - maybe even to its survivall GIVE YOURSELF ALL THE HELP YOU CAN INVEST IN ADVERTISING FOR HELP OR INFORMATION CALL ANNA OR VALERIE AT 985-7383 @he Loui Povey Shay 235 QUEEN STREET - PORT PERRY
