Take

Advantage of

This

Recession

Historically, recessions are

relatively short and they're

usually followed by long periods

of prosperity

―Most firms in our

analysis cut their

[marketing] budget in

a recession.‖

―Companies that have been looking at

marketing as an investment, and not an

expense are the ones that are going to

come out of this [recession] really,

really well.‖

This is not the time

to cut sales and

marketing!

It is well documented that

companies that increase sales

and marketing during a

recession, when competitors

are cutting back, can improve

market share and return on

investment at lower cost than

during good economic times.

John Quelch is Senior Associate Dean of Business Administration at

Harvard Business School.

― I have yet to

see any study

that proves

timidity is the

route to

success.‖

Studies consistently

have proven that

companies that have

the intelligence and

guts to maintain their

overall marketing and

advertising efforts in

times of business

downturns will get the

edge on their timid

competitors‖

.

J. Welsey Rosberg Senior VP, Meldrum & Fewsmith’s

McGraw-Hill Research analyzed 600 businesses.

Those specific companies that maintained or

increased their sales, marketing and advertising

expenditures during a recession averaged

significantly higher sales growth, both during the

recession and for the following three years, than

those that eliminated or decreased advertising.

Sales from companies that

remained aggressive during

recession enjoyed a 256% increase

in overall revenue- during the first

three years of the recovery
