It’s 2011, Happy New Year to you! and thank heavens for a fresh beginning for all of us.  Economic indicators are looking promising — globally, nationally, and locally.

The stock market and the GDP are up.

Consumer confidence increased — 2010 holiday sales increased 15% over 2009 for a record year.

Hotel and restaurant revenues are back up.

Unemployment filings are decreasing.

The economy is starting to heal, and people are spending money again.

The scars have not healed over just yet.  Companies let go of people and slashed budgets.  Some had to do it to survive; others panicked.  But the ones that are still standing, well, a lot of those companies are sitting on cash.

Spend some of that money on marketing now to make serious bank in 2011!  Market smart with Fletcher Prince in 2011, and make your marketing dollars go even farther.
