When the economy is down, the area that is looked at first for budget cuts is usually in the marketing department. Unless you are over spending, that may be a mistake.
Businesses that advertise during a down economy are more likely to survive; they also are more likely to to gain new business once the economy has picked back up.
So now is the time to explore different avenues of reaching your customers like social media and direct mail, instead of making detrimental cuts in your advertising budget.
Also, when the economy is down, ad space suppliers are willing to negotiate pricing more than usual. The most important thing to remember is that everything is negotiable.
