Through either kneejerk or necessity, some aviation companies will pull back on their advertising during uncertain times. This is understandable in some cases, but is this the time to sacrifice long term value for shorter term savings?
Reduced competitor advertising makes it easier to maintain or even increase your share of voice. The key is maintaining a regular presence, because when there is reduced competition, there is opportunity. It is important to remember that the opposite is true as well. Meaning if you do reduce marketing exposure, you will lose market share, and regaining lost market share when times are good can be costly.
TAKE AWAY:
If budgets don’t allow any increase in marketing activity, don’t fret. Maintain what you are doing if possible. And if you aren’t marketing, you should be. Remember to look for additional opportunities when there is less competitor messaging out there.
