Stay competitive. Advertise!
Almost half of the adults in the United States think that if you’re not advertising, you must be in trouble. And most think that if you are advertising, you’re competitive and committed.
That’s according to a new Ad-ology Research study, “Advertising’s Impact in a Soft Economy.”
Also:
- 40% of consumers use coupons more now than a year ago.
- TV, newspaper, direct mail and Internet top local media from which consumers saw/heard an ad within the last 30 days that led them to take action.
- Store websites ranked second only to search engines as the way consumers research products and shop online.
The lesson? If you want consumers to know you’ve got a healthy business in this sick economy, advertise.
