Competing in a recession is like running a marathon. A smart front runner will seize the lead and work to increase it while others are flagging. If the other runners allow the gap to widen, it will be really tough for them to regain the lost ground when the pace picks up again.

P&G’s CEO, A.G. Lafley said, “We have a philosophy and a strategy. When times are tough, you build share.”

The higher your share of voice compared to your actual market share, the more likely your brand is to grow its market share in the subsequent year. 10 percentage points of SOV over SOM = 1% market share growth (IPA dataBANK)
If you increase, or even maintain, your advertising spend at a time when your competitors are reducing theirs, you will substantially increase the strength and relevance of your brand (PIMS study). This will help you establish and advantage that can be maintained for many years.

At TVLowCost we have the solution to help keep your brand alive and growing while all others are bunkering down and talking themselves into a recession!
