Who needs marketing? Things are great. I’m busier than ever, and profits are through the roof! In fact, I don’t want or need any more business. All of that may be true. This has been an incredible run. Nine years of economic growth. Not a record, but it’s certainly has been a great ride. I hope it continues for nine more years. However, if it doesn’t, I’m prepared because I don’t see my future and the future of my company hinging on the whim of the economy. Here are three fundamental reasons why any company should always invest in marketing. 1) The good times never last. Come on admit it, they never do. The economy will change, and, when it does, are you prepared? Is your brand prepared? Is your brand memorable, even in a downturn? Will customers choose you over someone else in difficult times? Or better yet, will they remember you when their wallets get tight? This economy will change, and it will affect your business. This is why it’s so essential to plant those marketing seeds today, so you can harvest when times aren’t quite so bright. “Winter’s coming.” Sorry for the cliché. But it is true.
