A Positive Message on Marketing in a Down Economy

Coming up soon I will have access to something wonderful that I am going to pass along to you. It will be a learning program for beginners created by a very smart friend of mine on starting an online business. It will be heavily discounted (at first, but the price will go up), and it could not have come at a better time. Stay tuned into this channel.

    very good ending.
    I think that says it all (my opinion also).

    I’m in the middle of writing a series of articles on what I think about business blogging and what the benefits might be (also in my opinion).

    Thank you

    Thanks for attempting to douse the flames that are fueling the recent panic. Predictions that online small businesses will fail ultimately will only serve to prolong the downturn.
    Small businesses are as unique as the people who run them. Depending on product, depending on budget, depending on overhead, depending on scores of other variables that contribute to a small business’ success, some will thrive and some will sink — as always is the case. Whether to market online — or elsewhere — is a decision that each business owner must make after carefully evaluating his/her unique situation.
    As owner of a commercial, offset printing company that offers affordable marketing materials online, we’re seeing an uptick in our business as marketers seize the opportunity to make inroads with their competitors’ customers and clients. So, while some marketers “go dark” others will shine in this environment. We get it and, apparently, so do many of our customers.

    @Elise – glad to hear that you’re not letting it get to you and that you are doing well. I think that businesses that market and sell online have a big advantage over ones that don’t. Your customers aren’t limited to the local area and online marketing is cheap.

    Congrats for the video of fresh air whilst others gasp a last breath in the hold of their sinking ships. I’d say forget the Fortune 500… count on the Fortune 5 million small businesses, and the self employed to move the economy forward.

    As an entrepreneur I can move quickly and adapt to changing circumstances. Right now while others a pulling back, I’m on the attack, taking the ground that they’ve left behind and abandoned. I’m scooping up all these fresh advertising opportunities and capitalizing like never before.

    When people stop spending, capitalism dies. When consumers freeze, the world grinds to its knees. I’m spending and advertising my way out of this recession!

    I’m doubling the PPC ads. Tripling the Tweets and blog posts. Releasing new products. Building the brand.

    And when its all over, I’ll be one of the ones still standing, stronger than ever before…

    Every obstacle or problem presents an opportunity… if you’re looking for it.

    So go get ‘em now while they’re hot!
