Successful Marketing Tips in a Recession
Are companies in a marketing freeze as we await election results along with what will happen to taxes in Washington? We have companies giving their lowest approval ratings for the job Congress is doing in DC. With the uncertainties of election results, taxes, and healthcare costs for businesses, your marketing efforts have to be much more pinpointed in order to reach your targeted consumers.

2011 Pet Owner Spending Stats
Artie, Max, Colin and now Tarmac (the stray cat)
Our dog, Colin, on Christmas
Oh how we love our pets. I am bias; I have three pets that control my life, all dogs. However I recently started to feed the neighborhood stray cat so it looks like I have another mouth to feed, Tarmac. As I was looking through our neighborhood pet journal, yes they have devoted an entire newsprint around our furry friends, I found these stats on how much we adore our dogs and cats. I also have to admit I fall into each one of these stats. Do you?
