Advertising

[sbolger17]

I just read that spending on advertising is projected to go down more than a percentage point this year and almost 4% next year.  I hope that's not true as this directly affects my livelihood...Wouldn't more companies want/need to advertise to draw in the reluctant consumer during hard times?

Haha, it's NEVER a brilliant time to be a performer!

It probably will. But I don't know *any* industry that isn't affected by this damn economy. Maybe porn.

I think spending on everything will go down. For a while anyway. This includes my own spending--not that I do tooo much spending, but I still have to be extra careful.

When hospitals are having layoffs, you know you are in trouble.

That is too true. I can't believe things like hospitals and schools are having layoffs!
