Description:
During an economic slowdown, your finance colleagues will tell you to stop marketing - but you shouldn't. This is not the time for conservatism, cutbacks or fire sales; in fact, it's time to step up your marketing efforts. In this session we look at how to retain customers during a downturn, adapting direct mail, interactive and TV-print-radio campaigns to deliver messages that are compelling and relevant. Learn how to redefine targeting, re-evaluate media mix and defend your marketing budget.
