Despite the economic gloom that may hang over the rest of 2008, companies still need to advertise their products and services. In its annual projection, Schonfeld & Associates notes the following industries spend higher than average amounts on advertising (rates included in parentheses) and should continue to do so through 2009.

  • Perfume/cosmetics companies 19.2%
  • Diversified food firms 13.3%

Then there are the industries that will increase ad spending as a result of demographic changes across the country. These industries include:

  • Pharmaceutical companies
  • Life insurance companies
  • Wireless telecom companies

As you begin to plan your business development efforts for 2009, determine the best way to target prospects in one of these higher-spending industries in order to increase your revenue base.
