Should You Cut Your Marketing Budget During a Recession? Although it may seem counterintuitive to spend money on marketing and advertising when enduring budget cuts or while in a recession, research has shown that companies that continue to advertise during economic downturns can actually gain market share from competitors. As Henry Ford once said, “A man who stops advertising to save money is like a man who stops a clock to save time.” With the rise of social media, the world of marketing has seen one of the most significant transformations in history. Marketing online and on social media isn’t just a game changer to get more exposure — it allows your school to connect with prospective students on a personal level like we’ve never seen before. Start early, be consistent, and sustain your messaging — consistency and frequency in messaging are vital!
