The PIMS study showed a direct link between market share and the amount of marketing businesses do. Companies that are more visible than the industry norm sell more during the years following a recession. Those that advertise below the norm sell less after a recession. The PIMS study showed: Aggressive marketers achieved an average 0.2 point gain in the recovery period. Budget-cutters lost an average of 1.0 point in market share. Overall, the aggressive marketers outperformed the average of all businesses by almost 250%. The slow economy has created a situation where spending is slow. You have inventory to sell and this situation strikes fear into business owners. Stay the course with your marketing with consistency to a targeted audience. Direct mail marketing is a cost effective way to stay in touch and achieve steady, calculated, and long-term growth. You may have the urge to pull back on your marketing efforts but this will cause difficulty to regain your customer base later. As a smart business owner continue marketing and you will make yourself/company valuable and less forgettable. Page 2 of 2 :: First | Last :: Prev | 1 2 | Next
