Richard Rawlinson on Marketing in a Downturn

July 2009 - By Dr. Nagendra V Chowdary

Every marketer has to balance marketing and margins, and it is simply a manifestation of the age-old trade-off between tomorrow and today. The key question is whether your investment today in margin foregone gives you more benefits tomorrow, and that in turn depends essentially on the growth of the market and whether you can keep or extend your competitive position.
—Richard Rawlinson
