We live in the over communicated society. As recently as 2005, experts estimated that the average consumer was bombarded by over 5,000 marketing messages every single day. But now with the explosion of marketing through the Internet, social networking and mobile platforms, that number of commercial messages the average consumer is exposed has increased so dramatically, a reliable estimate is difficult to find.

For eight years, I was a very frequent traveler, racking up hundreds of thousands of miles and points and qualifying segments with all of the major airlines. I enjoyed all of the perks that come with elite status, free upgrades, free trips, early boarding privileges and priority scheduling options when delays interrupted one of my trips.

I’ve been flying for a very long time. Not as long as some folks but I was a frequently flyer back when they still let people smoke cigarettes on the plane. Back in those days, the airports did not offer many amenities. In many airports there was only one dining opportunity. Today, the airports have all of the major fast food chains and even some upscale restaurants. Not to mention all of the retail outlets. There is a Brooks Brothers in Terminal D at the Dallas Fort Worth Airport.

For many small business owners, trying to compare advertising proposals between different media is very confusing. Each different medium seems to have a special language all their own with very little in common with the others. Each medium claims that their product is superior and they use their own unique features to prove it.

As we kick off 2010, let’s keep in mind that our future success will be fueled by our willingness to find new and better ways of conducting our business. Change is difficult for some people to deal with. When I’m working with the folks who are having difficulty with change, I often hear them say “that’s not how we used to do it”. That’s true. There are lots of things we do differently today. And quite frankly, we should be thankful “that’s not how we used to do it."

This recession has been hard on everybody, especially the small business owner. For many, when they can’t make it on the top line, they have to reduce costs in order to make it on the bottom line. Advertising is often one of the first line items to go. The business owner may believe that they can save that money now and then plug it back in when times get better.
