Consumer behavior is at the heart of marketing. When the economy dips, some consumers set strict priorities and reduce spending. But, not all.
Depending on the day, you will find varying opinions from the talking heads in the media on if a recession is coming. Some say yes, some say no.
This confusing information can lead some entrepreneurs to go into “wait and see” mode.
Instead of going full-throttle on their marketing, they’ll throttle back, which is a big mistake.
According to a Harvard Business Review study of How to Market in a Downturn:
