Finding the Benefits of Even the Toughest Economy

The American economy has seen better days. And it’s not unlikely that you, as an individual, employee or entrepreneur, have seen better days as well. If you’re worried about the future of your finances through this financial time, there is news you’ve probably been waiting to hear. And that news is that you don’t have to fear becoming a victim of a struggling economy.

The truth is that, by using your business and financial smarts, you can stay ahead of the game to minimize any impact of an impending recession. And don’t worry; if you don’t think you’ve got the smarts, you will soon!

During a recession, your customers clearly may have less money to spend. This is no secret. However, even though they have less money, they still have needs. This means you must change your marketing strategy.

Instead of selling your product as a way that will improve your customer’s life, focus on how it is essential to your customer’s life. Focus on things like how your product can save costs elsewhere and help to mend the pressures felt by recession. By showing the customers that your product fulfills a need more than a want, you can keep business at a steady pace during economic hardship.

Of course, not every business is able to take that approach. For instance, if you’re in the clothing retail business, electronics business or any other industry that is not directly linked directly to the daily needs of your customers, it can be more difficult to come up with a ways to offset the impacts of recession. However, just because it is more difficult doesn’t mean it can’t be done.

If your business can’t be portrayed as an essential good or service, then you may want to look into where you’re spending money. If you’re putting a lot of money into advertising and marketing, look at ways to trim those expenses. One of those ways is to start asking existing customers to refer your business to their friends and contacts. For starters, referrals are a great source of advertising — and extremely underrated.

When a person receives a reference from a friend or respected colleague, chances are they are more likely to consider it carefully. It pulls more weight than an advertisement they may have heard on the radio, seen on television or in a newspaper. The reference has clout and emotion. The reference speaks from the experience of a satisfied customer, not a sleazy salesman.

On Thursday, I’ll offer some other helpful tips to help you keep your cash register ringing through this tough economy!
