Westfield Stratford City opens its shop doors today

There are so many examples of companies starting up in the recession that to choose one or two of these was a difficult experience. But when stumbling across an article like this one I had to report this. 

Even though we are in one of the biggest double dip recessions that have happened in the last 60 years, there are companies thriving in this climate. 

One place in Stratford has decided that a huge outlet store is something that needs to be built. A rapidly built shopping mall is being placed here with 70 restaurants, 3 hotels and a bowling alley as some of the sections to this mall. Why buildings like this are being popped up in such times as these is why I am interested in business being able to do this.

The Best Businesses to Start During a Depressed Economy

The idea of starting a company can seem daunting in the time of a recession but quotes such as the one below are some of the good points to hear about when research this. 

“Some businesses do better during economic recessions. A recession can be the best time to start a new business because they offer unique market gaps and circumstances that entrepreneurs can use to their advantage. These are some of the best businesses to start during an economic depression”.

Reading this quote alongside the companies that have done this is a great piece to read as its telling me that there are company’s out there which are able to succeed in the recession without consequence. 

This has affected my further research as I will be looking into companies which are able to do this as well as profiting from these times.

UPDATE TWO

This is the second update of this project and it’s about how to create a logo quick, simply and sometimes wrong. 

Having so much choice is most of the time a really bad thing as you are not able to get a clear idea of what you may want or need to create. 

This section explains that if you want to create something like a logo then using the internet is mainly a bad idea and should be found upon in my view.  

 Having set logo templates to work from is wrong as you are most likely to create a logo design which may look like so many others around that your company will not be a special brand and slot into any other. 

But designing something by yourself is needed as you are able to creating something out of nothing with ideas and you just might stand out from the rest and be a brand which is remembered from the rest.

Affordable, creative logo design

This is another similar logo design website but with a huge difference. The one before had pre-loaded logo templates which all look very similar and dull. 

When using this website you are able to submit ideas to creating logo and have a team look at them for you so they design them for you. This isn’t a cheap way to do this but an effective one. 

Choosing this method of a logo design is a much better alternative than the other website. This actually has a little thought behind the designs compared to the pre-loaded versions of the better website.

So if I were to create a logo design just by using the internet then this is the path I would follow as it would get a better result than some other ideas.
