6. It Pays to Promote during a
Recessionary Period

7. It Pays to Promote during a
Recessionary Period
 In a study of U.S. recessions, McGraw-Hill Research analyzed 600 companies
from 1980-1985. The results showed that business-to-business Firms that
Maintained or Increased their Promotion Expenditures during the
1981-1982 recession Averaged Significantly Higher Sales growth, both
during the recession and for the following three years, than those that
eliminated or decreased promoting. By 1985, sales of companies that were
Aggressive Recession Promoting had Risen 256% over those that didn't
keep up their promoting.
In addition, a series of six studies conducted by the research firm of Meldrum &
Fewsmith showed conclusively that Promotion Aggressively during
Recessions not only Increases Sales but Increases Profits. This fact has
held true for all post-World War II recessions studied by The American Business
Press starting in 1949.

9. Promotion versus Discounts or
Rebates or Free Goods
• Discounts and promotional allowances used repeatedly become ‘part of the price’, and appeal is
lost. Hence, why many automobile companies have gone to a everyday price versus discounts or
rebates
• A true incentive provides not only an inducement, but adds excitement, interest, drama and a sense
of urgency.
• Discounts often mean ‘giving away’ the product and ‘doing this a new way’ each time develops into a
vicious cycle.
• Discounts simply cannot generate the appeal and motivation as can merchandise or travel awards.
• A dealer or distributor accustomed to buying on the basis of discounts is vulnerable to your
competitors’ inducements.
• Discounts are often passed on to the end-user at a lower retail price.
• Discounts can be easily matched by competitors
• Non-cash incentives represent minimal investment because the program funding is accrued basically
from increased sales or purchases.
If cash/rebates/free goods/discounts are such a great motivators, why aren’t they selling more
or buying more?

10. PPAI and ASI Studies Conclude
• 84% of end-users can name the advertisers on the items
they receive
• 62% have done business with the advertiser AFTER
receiving the item
• End-users keep products for 7 months
• The average cost-per-impression of a promotional product
= $0.004
• The CPI for advertising specialties beats all forms of media
(except billboards)

ROI
Cash: -20%
Every $1 invested = an $0.80 return

12. The Best Carrot!
 Some 65 percent of executives believe that incentive programs using travel
and merchandise are more memorable than those using cash; 60 percent of
executives believe that sources of merchandise and travel are more helpful in
creating an incentive program than are sources of cash, and 57 percent of
executives believe that bonus payments are often regarded by employees as
something they are due, according to the most recent “Survey of Motivation and
Incentive Applications” by the Incentive Federation.
 Columbia University study dated May 3, 2005 by Ran Kivetz, Ph.D. found
the following Hedonic, Luxuries are more Motivation than Cash and Cash
Equivalents etc.

know how much cash is needed to maintain their desired lifestyle and work
hard enough to keep at that level.
