During the last recession, when fear ran rampant, certain ad- vertisers made what seemed to be a bold — even foolhardy — move, by increasing their advertising budgets. Madness? On the contrary. These advertisers had learned from the recession before. During the 1974-75 recession, the companies that did not cut back on their advertising significantly outgrew the companies that did. Their growth, in fact, averaged 12% more than those who cut back! And, in 1978, those not Eutting-back had sales 132% above the 1973 levels ... about double the growth of those who cut back. The durable good manufacturers who continued their aggressive promotion outgrew the rest by a 2 to 1 margin! All in all, they realized 163% sales growth, right through the recession. According to statistics compiled by Dunn & Bradstreet, 95% of business failures come from the ranks of the non -advertisers. It all goes to prove one simple point. When the consumer spen- ding drops, your market -share must increase, if you are to just stay even. And, you can't increase your share by keeping your business a secrat.
