Any small or local business owner is affected by the down economy or as some call it the new economy. We really do not have a great deal of control over that, it goes up and comes down in cycles and will cycle up when all corrections have been made.
Another problem we face is that pre-Google advertising is not effective anymore and really does not work, especially the way it used too. This problem can be compounded if you are from the old school of marketing like I was, which says “in a down market spend more money on advertising, not less”. As an eternal optimist and person that had been through many up and down markets over three decades, it was a concept that always seem to work, until now. It is not putting out more money for advertising, but throwing away money on newspaper, postcard and untargeted media marketing like radio and tv.
Consumers are not searching for products and services the way they used to. Obviously the internet, Google, Yahoo, Youtube and other search engines have had an incredible influence. It has all but killed news print. Also the way that people watch tv, with a dvr or on demand commercial free and listen to radio, Sirius or XM commercial free. Not even to mention what the ipod has done to the way we access information.
So is this all bad, absolutely not, it is an amazing opportunity or those who learn how to take advantage of new consumer habits. Internet video marketing is a modern day gold rush. Never before in history has there been a time when you could introduce a product or service to more than a billion people within minutes. That is real power, but not exactly the kind of power you need with a small or local business. The opportunity you have is to laser target the ideal customer that that are searching for what you have to offer. This can be done in many categories including specific product or service niche, location and demographic.
