Marketing vs The Recession

TUESDAY 10TH MARCH - CIRCLE CLUB - MANCHESTER

Marketing is known to be a communicative, creative and deliverable way in which to promote businesses, services and products. A customer’s desires and needs in a product are continually considered through the art of Marketing. However with the recession lurking over us and companies suffering financial difficulties, many marketing budgets in companies such as AOL, Nike and Fed-Ex have been axed. This leads us to our debate, is marketing an essential part of the way a business functions? Can a company survive without Marketing during this economic breakdown? Surely advertising is more important at a time when customers are hard to get and businesses are less than stable.
