General Marketing
44Latest News
Our hub will be used to discuss our business, the general marketplace and new promotional products as we release them that might of interest to the general community.
As time goes along we hope to build up a community of fellow users. With the even increasing challenges in the new financial landscape all forms of media and social networking are important and the community here is one of the best.
The team we've assembled has been in the marketing and advertising industries for over half a century. The experiences we have had are of great value, we would like to share those with other users for educational purposes. In reality we expect to be able to update the hub semi-weekly, and look forward to expanding the content.
Marketing Economy
The greatest question we hear today is "how bad is it" when we're asked about the general business climate. I think just about anyone will tell you it is pretty terrible and likely only to get worse as we head into the holiday season. Consumer spending is way off and already the pinch is being felt as retailers are not ramping up their holiday staff. That will in turn trickle back down through the economy making it tougher and tougher for prospective job seekers as competition increases.
