English term or phrase: Affordable method
Gostaria de saber se existe um termo já consagrado para affordable method.

The affordable method is an ad-hoc approach to establishing a communications budget. Often it entails a manager asking the accounting department what is the most that can be spent on adverstising. This approach can work in a small firm, but not in a medium to large organization. Without a reliable budget, marketers cannot forge long-term promotion plans.


Grata.

disagree  José Raeiro: Acessível é um termo muito vago e poderá dar a ideia que o método é acessível por várias razões, e.g.: por ser fácil. [Resposta: Obviamente consultei vários dicionários antes de falar. Aconselho-o a reler a minha justificação com mais calma.
