There is no doubt that a recession is an extremely difficult period for most companies. Especially when a recession has universal dimensions, many companies find themselves unprepared to face great challenges. While marketing in good times has a long-term focus, a broad scope, it is benefits- and opportunities-driven and proactive, in bad times it has a short-term focus, limited and narrow scope, it is cost-and sales-driven and reactive. Panic is not the right reaction. Such difficult times should be overcome through methodical and well planned actions. After all, research has shown that those companies that take a proactive stance and treat the recession as an opportunity are likely to come out of the crisis stronger than before. Specific marketing activities have been proved to be beneficial to companies during a downturn. Below we analyze, ten marketing survival strategies and tactics.

Nie ulega wątpliwości, że recesja to niezwykle trudny okres dla większości firm. W sytuacji gdy recesja ma wymiary uniwersalne, wiele firm nie jest przygotowanych by stawić czoła wielkim wyzwaniom. Chociaż marketing w dobrych czasach skupia się na celach długoterminowych, ma szeroki zakres, koncentruje się na korzyściach i możliwościach oraz jest proaktywny, to w złych czasach charakteryzuje się krótkoterminową perspektywą, ma ograniczony i wąski zakres, koncentruje się na kosztach i sprzedaży oraz cechuje się biernością. Panika nie jest właściwą reakcją, gdyż trudne czasy powinno się przezwyciężać za pomocą metodycznych i dobrze zaplanowanych działań. Przecież badania wykazują, że te firmy, które mają aktywną postawę i traktują recesję jako swoją szansę prawdopodobnie wyjdą z kryzysu silniejsze niż przedtem. Istnieją konkretne działania marketingowe, które okazują się korzystne dla przedsiębiorstw w czasie kryzysu. Poniżej przeanalizujemy dziesięć strategii marketingowych i taktyk przetrwania.
