History proves that marketing during a recession is necessary for acompany's survival.

The research firm of Meldrum & Fewsmith studied all post World War II recessions and found that advertising aggressively during recessions not only increases sales but it also increases profits, and at a far great rate than those firms that cut back. (1)

"This is not the time to cut advertising. It is well documented that brands that increase advertising during a recession, when competitors are cutting back, can improve market share and return on investment at a lower cost than during good economic times." (2)

The marketing you do now will set the growth rate of your company through and after a bad economy. Don't miss out on this important time of opportunity.
