I talked with a good friend that owns an Outback Steakhouse.
He told me that 2008 was his best year ever and that he was expecting to see an
increase in business in 2009. I talked to a car dealer client of mine and he
said he was very optimistic about 2009 and that his January was very good,
except for the last week when the ice storm hit. In my own business; we just had a big concert
and had a full house with a major called The Elvis Connection. We sold 1600 seats in an 1800 seat venue and
made an outstanding profit over our expenses.
People are going to spend money in 2009 on what they want; but what do they really want? Buying things to satisfy ones ego will be less, and buying that you legitimately want, that you realistically can justify, will be more.
Buying things to lavish yourself with the appearance of being wealthy will diminish and giving money to help the poor will increase. Don’t you wish you had a crystal ball that could look into the future and tell you how things would go with your business? I don’t have a crystal ball, but I can recommend something much more certain and realistic…the Wizards on the Road Small Business Advertising Seminar in Denver. Find out how your business might grow and prosper in 2009.
