How to grow any size business through a challenging economy. Guaranteed

How To recession proof business

“Every year, winter comes. It always comes. We deal with it by preparing for it.” – Jim Rohn

Since 1948, there have been 11 recessions. This averages out to approximately one recession per six years.

Recessions can lead to declines in sales and profits for both small and large businesses. They may try to reduce costs by cutting capital expenditure, marketing, and research. Recessions can reduce credit access, slow down collections, and lead to business bankruptcies.

Businesses both large and small should always prepare for tough times ahead. Luckily, there are some recession-proof marketing strategies that can help you grow your business, even in a down economy.

How to Grow a Small Business – Even in a Recession?

Turn off Programmatic Ads

From bots to fraud, to outrageous pricing structures – Programmatic Ads can lead to problematic wasted advertising budgets.

Many digital ad agencies hide behind complex tech, jargon, and poor practices. They rely on brands not being aware of these crucial aspects of online advertising.

Programmatic advertising is the use of automated technology for media buying (the buying of advertising space). This is in contrast to traditional (often manually) digital advertising methods.

Wasted ad spending is the cause of many businesses’ increased debt. While not impossible, it is extremely difficult to grow your business without online advertising. However, popular advertising platforms such as Google and Facebook have not solved the problem of click fraud. 

According to Dr. Augustine Fou, MIT graduate and ad fraud researcher, 99% of your marketing budget is wasted. 

Dr. Fou’s research suggests that bots, competitors, and useless ad promotions on digital marketing platforms are wasted. 

Unless you have an unlimited budget or don’t mind wasting money, stay away from programmatic ads.

Focus on Developing a Customer-Centric Culture

Customer-centricity is more than simply focusing on the customer. It’s about really understanding your customer so that you can anticipate their needs, communicate with them in meaningful ways, and create lasting relationships. This is not an easy task.

Businesses can improve customer satisfaction by creating a consistent customer-centric culture. Understanding your customers’ likes and dislikes will help you build products and services that are centered around them and eliminate friction.

In an article published by Forbes, businesses that focus on their customers experience faster growth.

Implementing a rewards program is a great way to get your customers more involved in social media, free word-of-mouth advertising, and get your business in front of more people. In 2022, we launched OnMyWayFood, a rewards program that generates real UGC video content highlighting the restaurant our drivers are visiting, recording a video thanking that restaurant, and sharing the video with their social media followers. 

This memorable experience is documented forever and shared with a newly engaged audience. By focusing on the customer experience, OnMyWayFood has driven increased sales and revenue to restaurants both local and national, even in a down economy.

Decrease Employee Turnover by Recognizing and Rewarding

The biggest problem with employee turnover is the financial cost of recruiting and training new employees in order to replace those who have been laid off. Although the exact cost of turnover is variable, it’s clear that employers must manage it.

The reason why employee turnover is so high is that most companies don’t have exit cost tracking systems. There are a number of factors that can increase costs that can be detrimental during a recession.

These are the factors:

So how can you reward your employees and keep them engaged?
