$600 Marketing Plan

Blog Image

Have you started to think about how you are going to use your$600 economic stimulus rebate check? Or, how you are going to use this opportunity to sell more products and services?

As a marketer I started thinking about how this cash could be used to sell more products and services.   My team and I will be thinking about promotions we can use to help people invest in their education.

Do you remember the last rebate checks the government gave out?  There were all sorts of promotions from retailers who offered to double the value of your rebate, advance credit for the amount of the rebate, and discounts on many products and services so people would spend their rebates.

If there was ever a time to reevaluate your marketing plans now is the time.  How do you plan to use this opportunity to jump start your marketing efforts?

Wow. I've been sitting around discussing the merits of the economic stimulus program and what it meant to me as a citizen, and never even thought about how to apply it to my clients. I'm usually up on how to apply current events and trends to my clients' business, but somehow I never connected this one. My brain is spinning. I have to go now and think up some great marketing ideas for my clients.

I had the exact same reaction as Jeffrey here.
Way to flip that script!

I'm only 26, I don't remember this ever happening before. How often does the government utilize this "stimulus plan" and is it always the same time of year? or same time relative to the President's term?
