Martin Lindstrom on Marketing in a Downturn

July 2009 - By Dr. Nagendra V Chowdary

Don’t cut your prices – research shows that by discounting your brand during a recession it will take you seven years to recover your original price level. Focus on your brand strengths (real not imagined!), and emphasize the heritage and classic/traditional values while the crises on people tend to go back to the memories of the good old days.
—Martin Lindstrom
