Which will cost less:

1. Re-print the stationary

or

2a. Consultancy to fix the 'problem'
2b. Potential lost traffic/ sales due to non-optimistic SEO
2c. Ongoing additional hosting/ domain renewal and management costs
2d. Future increased site/ infrastructure maintenance costs
2e. Additional costs of holding multiple letterheads/ etc. items in stock

Of course, as a true consultant you would *never* recommend option 1 to
