KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

In a recession, the first thing a lot of companies do is axe their marketing department but you should never cut off the people that bring in new business. Never stop promoting your brand, your services and what you do to help people.

 

Companies that cease marketing activity during a recession are the ones that will fail.

 

During a recession, your marketing activity needs to educate and inform the people in your community about what you do and how you can help them. Marketing will keep your income consistent during tough economic times.

 

Clinics cannot solely rely on word of mouth because it is very difficult to grow and you do not have any control over when it stops. Focusing on marketing and education will help to generate a pipeline of patients for your practice.

 

BEST MOMENTS

“In large companies, you can get lost as a cog in a wheel without making any real difference.”

“Getting rid of the marketing department in a recession is the worst thing that you can do.”

“Marketing is the lifeblood of your business.”
