The tendency of many individuals and businesses during an economic downturn is to ‘batten down the hatches,’ stop spending and hope to survive.The problem is that if too many take this approach, the economic conditions can get even worse as confidence evaporates.
An alternative approach is to look at the current downturn as an opportunity to increase your market share. One of the first areas that businesses typically cut back on is marketing – the means by which they bring potential customers to their door. So if your competitors are cutting back on their marketing, then your marketing efforts are likely to be more effective in generating new prospects. And if you follow up your marketing with effective sales strategies (getting prospects through the door to become customers), and then focus on turning customers into repeat clients through excellent delivery and servicing, then chances are you’ll be taking market share from your competitors.
