What Happened?

In late 2008, the recession and the economic slow-down hit nearly every industry hard. The housing market crash sent a ripple effect that seemed more like a tidal wave into nearly every facet of the economy. Widespread financial panic caused a massive slow-down in spending among consumers, and by the early part of 2009, businesses began to suffer under the squeeze.

Eventually, most companies were forced into buckling down, tightening their belts and doing more with less. Different companies handled the situation differently, making cuts in different areas. Some companies cut staff. Some cut budgets. Many did both. Marketing and travel budgets - particularly those for events - took a huge hit.

Sound familiar? We have heard this story over and over since late last year. Many of our clients have experienced budget cut-backs or freezes on spending. At first, there seemed to be little effect on their business. Now, however, those cuts and freezes are beginning to cause business loss. Without a presence in your industry, how will your customers find you now that they are looking?
