If you're the boss of the company, not having the budget for raises is a problem that none of these ideas address. None of them will paper over that issue or solve it. It's not that they're not nice perks, it's that coming up with these ideas looks like a way of avoiding work on the hard problem which is making money.

If you're not the boss, then not having money for raises is still an issue and working at an unprofitable company or a profitable company that does not value your team is less likely to be a long term solution (and if you are the boss, this is how some of your team will probably look at the world sooner or later if not already).

Good luck.
