Good morning, 

Take a limited number of federal acquisition employees with a regularly late annual budget of $450 billion,  add $787 billion in stimulus spending, then complicate with an exponential requirement to spend the money as fast as you can. Results? An unprecedented opportunity to build buisness and help the governemnt function.
 
This  unprecedented opportunity is for every type of business including construction and every subcontractor possible, information technology, staffing, risk management, communications, environmental, security, services, printing, products, office equipment, design, emergency services, first responders, virtually every product and service imaginable will be used. .
 
If you are established in the federal market, you must  act now and not wait, to position your firm for opportunities. If you are not yet established as a government contractor, you must act today to achieve foothold and open the door for contract opportunities.
 
Those who wait will lose. Those who act now will open doors to unheard of opportunities.
 
Which group are you in? Need assistance? Call us, call your local PTAC office, just make the call!
 
 
Here's to your success~~

And in another study: "...Companies that maintained advertising during the recession enjoyed measurably higher net income gains not only during the recession, but even more so two years after the recession, taking business away from their competitors in the process..."
