There’s one question on every business man’s lips. It’s a question which is always at the forefront of discussion, especially in a so-called ‘recession’ – there I’ve uttered that filthy word. It’s a question which, according to economic rationalists, doesn’t require an answer. As one said to me recently “The answer’s obvious”.
The question of course is, should we advertise and market in today’s perfect, economic storm? I have my own rules in reference to this so let me introduce you to some ‘Robinson’ logic, acquired over plenty of recessions and forty years of marketing.
RULE 1. Never market, promote or brand yourself when nothing is happening!
RULE 2. ‘Nothing’ is never happening!
