Consumers are not buying as much as they were last year. The economy will get a boost again, but...more
One reason the USA and many other nations are in such a severe recession is the lack of credit available for businesses. Ever since September 2008 when Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were forced into receivership, lenders have not had funds due to increased default rates. Lenders are also fearful that the government's intervention in the capital markets will only hinder their ability to conduct their business.The current recession and resultant...more
90% of United States businesses are small independent businesses. These are the backbone of American society, and yet getting a small business loan is virtually impossible. How sad that is! There are many requirements, and credit history has to be excellent for a traditional business loan, and even then, more often than not, you will be denied the loan. For some reason traditional banks just do not believe in the tried and true small business person. So, a few years ago, a lender found a solution to the problem, and came out with a product called the small business cash advance. Now, there are several merchant cash advance lenders who offer small business loans that can be authorized in a matter of a week. What requirements do merchant cash advance lenders have? Well, there are not many and these are very easy to meet by most small businesses. You don't even have to have excellent or even a good credit rating to qualify for this type of loan. All you have to have is the ability to accept credit cards, and have credit card sales of about $5,000 a month. The loan is authorized within the week and the money you need for operational costs is deposited in your account at that time....more

First, the battle for market share is intensifying in many industries as a result of declining growth rates. Faced with insignificant growth, companies have no choice but to grasp for new weapons to increase their share, and strategic marketing can provide extra leverage in share battles. Second, deregulation in many industries is mandating a move to strategic marketing. For example, take the case of the airline, distribution, banking and telecommunications industries. In the past, with territories protected and prices regulated, the need for strategic marketing was limited. Third, many packaged goods companies are acquiring companies in hitherto non-marketing orientated industries and are attempting to gain market share through strategic marketing. For example apparel makers, with few exceptions, have traditionally depended on production excellence to gain competitive advantage. But when marketing orientated consumer products companies purchased apparel companies, the picture changed. Mergers and acquisitions have been rife during the march towards globalization. Fourth, shifts in the channel structure of many industries have posted new problems. Traditional channels of...more
