If you are listening to, watching, or reading all the doom and gloom stories in the news right now…
Stop It.
My friends, instead of getting swallowed up in the bad news of rising prices, staffing and supply chain shortages and whatever else we have going on in the political world, take a look around.
People are still buying stuff. It’s one of the reasons prices are going up. Not the only reason, but it’s the universal law of supply and demand.
I work in the media. Specifically as the General Sales Manager of the leading conservative talk radio station, I know our conservative talk show hosts point out how bad the liberals are and on TV at home I see the liberals talking about how bad the conservatives are. It’s the nature of what political commentators do… point out the bad stuff the other side is doing and ignore the good anyone is doing.
However people are still spending money and your job is to adapt your business model to help them buy from you.
We did it a couple years ago in 2020 when we were told to shelter in place and stay home to stop the spread of Covid. Our country has lived thru other challenging times and come out stronger on the other side. Wars, inflation, recessions, you name it, we’ve been thru it and those that adapt usually make it.
Here’s what I’m telling my advertising sales team to tell the businesses they work with…
You need to invite people to your business to spend money with you instead of pulling back and letting your competition scoop up all the customers.
Let’s put together an ad campaign and invite our listeners to spend with you.
It’s that simple.
