Talking heads on television and newspapers are full of stories about the sorry economy. It truly is bad thanks to them and a multitude of political reasons. Consumers have heard their repeated messages and have responded by tightening the purse strings. This has been the same in every recessionary period since WWII.
Psychology plays a role in consumer spending habits. They don't stop spending in an economic slow down, but they are much more selective. They're looking for ways to save money so tell them how you can clean their carpet instead of them replacing it. Be creative in your advertising and promotions. Most important...don't stop advertising.
People who used to spend freely are looking for a deal before they buy anything so you must offer them something. Specials of 40% off on an application of Sta-Clene® carpet and furniture protector or cleaning furniture free with carpet cleaning service are proven business getters in tough economic times. Work a little harder and good things will happen to you!
