Question

Should I increase my marketing budget when business is slow?

Answer

Cutting marketing in a downturn feels safe but usually costs more than it saves.

  • Businesses that hold or raise spend recover faster
  • Cutting saves cash short-term but surrenders hard-won market position
  • Shifting to lower-cost formats keeps you visible without overspending
  • Postcards and door hangers stretch a tight budget
