All else being equal, the least expensive option is usually the best choice.  The Frugal Fix concept was created with this in mind.

Good ideas shouldn't always require an abundance of resources.  Often, alternative strategies may be available that can be implemented within current budgetary and staffing constraints.  Identifying these opportunities can help your annual giving program reach new levels of productivity without straining your resources.

When working with clients, this principle is always front and center.  Providing ideas and strategies that require many new employees and more resources won’t work for everyone and the return simply won’t justify the investment.

Lindauer Consulting provides affordable services AND affordable recommendations to fit any budget.  Frugal Fixes abound.  The key is finding them.
