We could just sit around and bemoan the fact that business is down. We can have lunch with others and share our stories- misery does love company.
Or we could see this time as a perfect opportunity to do business development. Time, or lack thereof, is often our excuse for not doing it. Well, we have the time now. So get out there.
We need to show the world we are still in business. We need to show the market we still want its business. We need to show love and attention to our current customers, those we have lost in the past and those we want to have in the future.
If you set aside marketing during hard times, you are ignoring your future, which you cannot do. I know it is hard to think about the future when the present is so rocky. But you must. If you don't have a marketing plan, create one. You can do it on a tight budget. Just get out there.
In a year's time, you will look back and see what a good move it was.
