How To Win In Times Of Crisis

Times of crisis seem to be all too common these days. Uncertainty in the economic outlook, divide internally, spreading and possibly evolving pandemic, aid slowly trickling to us (only after so many have fallen), and squabbling children overseeing what's best for our great nation.

With all these factors in play, many individuals and companies are forced to apply severe budget cuts.

Very often it is a public expense, but this is undoubtedly a very dangerous choice for one’s survival. Advertising is not intended as an expense to lose but is a real investment for the future of yourself and your business.

Here are the 3 reasons why you NEVER want to stop investing in advertising amidst a crisis.

1) VISIBILITY

Advertising captures attention when done right. Advertising targets the user (your targeted consumers), a number of potential customers, and consolidates in the minds of those already acquired. You can have the best product or service in the world, but if few know this it cannot produce a turnover.

2) COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

Companies that advertise generally have a large advantage. Advertising through times of uncertainty, generally 10x that advantage. The saturation of ads your industry sees in more favorable times is reduced dramatically. Meaning the opportunity for your company to generate more awareness, and consumers is prime. Should your product and or service be superior to that of your competitors, it's more than probable you'll also be seeing their loyal consumers bringing that loyalty to your door. If you are not investing in advertising, potential customers do not know who the experts or superior product is, and stay with the competition.

3) THE BEST ADVERTISERS SAY
