As the holiday season approaches, the pressure is on for businesses across the province to maximize sales and stay afloat amid economic challenges. With signs of a recession, many are questioning where to allocate resources most effectively to ensure a solid return on investment (ROI). This is where a well-planned marketing strategy can make all the difference. At KWD Marketing, we’re here to help local businesses leverage their advertising budget to make the biggest impact – especially as we head into the critical holiday shopping season.
Why Advertise Now? The Advantage of Marketing During Economic Slowdowns
It’s tempting to cut marketing budgets during a recession, but research consistently shows that businesses that maintain or increase their advertising during tough times often outperform competitors once the economy rebounds. Here’s why:
- Increase Brand Visibility When Competition Is Lower: With some businesses pulling back on their marketing efforts, this is a prime opportunity to stand out. A strong holiday campaign can help your brand remain top of mind and even expand your market share.
- Consumer Demand Is Still There, Just More Selective: People are still shopping, especially with the holiday season approaching. They’re just more selective about where they spend. High-quality, targeted advertising positions your products or services as a top choice for value-conscious consumers.
- Adapt to Changing Consumer Behavior: With more people spending time online, digital advertising – on Google, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn – allows you to meet consumers where they’re already spending time. KWD can help you craft holiday campaigns that target your ideal audience with precision and bring in the traffic you need.

Now is the ideal time to ramp up your marketing efforts, especially as holiday shopping picks up. Here’s how KWD Marketing can support your holiday advertising strategy:
