Why Advertising During a Recession is Good Business
Marketing consultant Robert Wilson says: "Maintaining brand recognition should be considered an on-going business investment. The moment it stops – it begins to lose power immediately – and future sales are in jeopardy.

"Studies have shown that it takes four to six months to see the results of an advertising program. Cutting back during a down-turn is like throwing away your investment. Maintenance today costs much less than rebuilding tomorrow."

Advertising in SNPA's Resource Guide also is good business. Reserve your display space in the 2008-2009 directory today!
