Start Calling This a Recovering Economy. PDF Print E-mail
Monday, 26 October 2009 06:17

When you call the current economic situation a down economy when you are talking with your customers and prospects, you imply that the economy is going to be down for the foreseeable future and things are going to be bad for the long haul. The description of a down economy gives the perception that advertisers should take a defensive position, hunker down, grit your teeth, hold on and hope for the best, there is no improvement on the horizon.  The term “a down economy” is void of hope and expectation. Using the words “down economy” when trying to help your customer with their marketing plans could be the worst possible thing you could do for your customers and for your own selling career.

Wednesday, 14 October 2009 19:08

Radio revenue has been in a recession for the past five years. The economic challenges of the past 12 months only prove that Albert Einstein was correct when he said “You can’t solve today’s problems at the same level of thinking that created them.” This recession has created a seismic shift if the traditional retail landscape that has been the traditional revenue base for Radio. That revenue source for Radio is gone. Like the local factory that is closing and shipping the jobs overseas, that traditional retail revenue base has been changed forever and much of that revenue is never coming back.

The Economic Future is Here and Already Underway PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 23 October 2009 14:23

History shows that the seeds of an economic decline or an economic recovery begin long before the indications of change become obvious enough to measure. Despite all of the sophisticated financial modeling tools, in hind sight, it is very clear now that the current recession didn’t begin in December of 2008 as the experts called it. The unraveling of the economy actually started more than 12 months earlier in mid to late 2007 with the first signs of trouble in the mortgage banking business.
