Tough Economy? Global Unrest? Keep advertising to win in the end. Understanding your customer concerns is key to surviving economic downturns Accurate information and sensitivity to customer needs result in marketing programs that attract business. Because clients change their behavior more quickly in a recession or in times of global unrest, businesses need to be more vigilant about customer behavior. Businesses that maintain advertising in an economic slump fare better in sales — and profits — both during and after a slump Research proves it: companies that reduce advertising in downturns lose ground to their competitors. The best way to overcome revenue loss from a recession is to gain new customers and increase market share through advertising. Cutting back disadvantages you at a time when you most need an edge Whether business is bad or good, you have to get your share of available business. Instead of increasing profits, advertising cutbacks only reduce demand for your products and prolong recessionary effects on your business.

Most down periods are shorter than expected The history of every post-war recession is that it didn‘t last as long as predicted. Why gamble your market position for short-term gain? Watch your competitors Be very aware of your competitors‘ activities. If your competitor continues to advertise, be equally aggressive. People only have so many dollars to spend and if they don‘t spend them on what you sell, they‘ll spend them elsewhere. Advertising works cumulatively Customers don‘t read all of your ads. Advertising just doesn‘t work that way. To be most effective, advertising must have continuity to keep your brand name top-ofmind. Focus on Return on Investment (ROI) A study from Hudson River Group and the MPA studied media mix dynamics for 300 case studies across three advertising categories, measuring (ROI) and media efficiency, relating percent of spending in each medium to incremental volume. Across 300 case studies, magazines proved to be the most efficient of the media measured in generating bang for the media buck, offering advertisers an opportunity to increase ROI.

Market: 20 countries
L
atin America is an extensive and dynamic market, and it´s also fragmented in a complex way. Between highlands relieves, tropical rainforest, even desert, you can find within each country a diversity of characteristics and particular habits of each geographic zone that affects the continental economy. To understand this complex scenario an analytic focus is necessary. Many family stores and traditional businesses are still standing, that strongly holds the independent retail. There still are only a few buying centers or big stationery store chains. The impact of big retail areas, supermarkets, and hypermarkets in the sector is hardly notorious in the “back to school� season. We can see an atomized distribution channel by small and medium stores and traders who are tolerant to the uncertainty and are flexible to changes with response capacity and speed reaction. This ensure a long term projection and a return on marketing and advertising investment.

Latin American population
W
ith a very young population based, more than half the inhabitants are younger than 25 years old (52%) and almost 75% (more than 454 million) are younger than 40 years old. This means an important market for school items and office products as well as strong development in artistic expressions, promoted by the governments and folk cultural traditions of every city, making the consumption of art and handicraft materials interesting. The automation of private enterprises, governments and educational institutions, like elsewhere, has opened a dynamic commerce to the consumers of computer supplies and accessories. A demographic structure in a pyramidal shape supported by a very wide youth base, and the richness of their natural resources, makes these 20 countries a promising area of development and an excellent business opportunity.
