Will the 2023 Economy Be Better? The Law of Familiarity Transcends Economic Uncertainty<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. businesses face skilled labor shortages, inflation, and economic turbulence. While it may be tempting to slash marketing to save money in the short term, brands that have “gone dark” during past recessions have lost market share and faced slower recoveries. Karla Jo Helms of JOTO PR Disruptors, an “Anti-PR” agency, shares how forward-thinking start-ups can market smarter in today\u2019s economy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As skilled labor shortages continue, demands for remote work options and higher wages have changed the landscape for employers.(1)<\/sup>\u00a0This substantial shift hits businesses as the economy threatens a recession.(2)<\/sup>\u00a0It’s tempting to pull back and cut marketing budgets. However, advertising is a major economic driver and supports about 18% of all U.S. jobs.(3)<\/sup>\u00a0Historically, companies that proactively market during a recession recover faster, sometimes gaining ground against competitors.(4)<\/sup>\u00a0Crisis management veteran, Karla Jo Helms of JOTO PR Disruptors<\/a>, an \u2018Anti<\/em>-PR\u2019 agency that puts innovative startups on the map, advocates efficient marketing strategies to lower customer acquisition costs while maintaining maximum visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring uncertain economic times, marketing seems like an easy cut,\u201d says Helms. \u201cHowever, out of sight is out of mind. Businesses who strategically approach marketing during downturns position themselves ahead of competitors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Great Resignation forced many employers to adapt to remote workers, flexible schedules, higher wages, and competing for skilled labor.(1)<\/sup> Some of these changes are here to stay, but the quit rate and unemployment rates are down compared to the end of 2021.(5)<\/sup> This may indicate some re-stabilization of the labor market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A perhaps more insidious trend is \u201cquiet quitting\u201d or employee disengagement. While not new, employee disengagement historically increases during recessions. The loss of productivity costs $483 billion to $605 billion annually in the U.S.(6)<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disengaged employees are unlikely to step up and take responsibility for extra tasks. And they are more likely to quit if offered another opportunity, costing the company time and money in hiring and training. Inversely, higher employee engagement correlates with a 21% increase in productivity.(6)<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The debate about a recession rages. While not all economic markers point to a recession, inflation is high, while the stock market and consumer confidence are low.(2)<\/sup>It\u2019s possible the U.S. can avoid a recession, but the road ahead remains uncertain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advertising propels sales and supports American jobs across industries.(3)<\/sup> Marketing is not a luxury but an economic necessity. Last year in the U.S. alone, advertising generated $7.1 trillion in sales activity, supporting 28.5 million jobs.(4)<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether an organization is B2B or B2C, loyal customers create enduring income and drive organic growth. Businesses who over-trim marketing dollars during downturns lose market traction because of the Law of Familiarity.(7)<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In sales, there is an inverse correlation between familiarity and perceived risk. When a business feels familiar, customers are confident in their purchase.(8)<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research of past recessions shows that brands that “go dark” can lose as much as 24% of brand use and are more likely than competitors to lose market share.(7)<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than slashing marketing budgets, Helms recommends companies invest strategically to maintain visibility in the marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B2B consumers can be particularly risk-averse, making marketing more essential. Third-party validation, whether through awards, testimonials, or PR, rapidly builds the familiarity that creates loyal customers.(8)<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helms helps her clients achieve this by establishing them as Thought Leaders in their industry. \u201cLet people see and understand your passion and expertise,” Helms says. “Positioning your organization as an authority through disruptively innovative PR builds respect, credibility, and trust\u2014so people trust before they buy.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help B2B startups efficiently maintain and gain market share during economic uncertainty, JoTo PR is offering “Familiarity In a Box.” It\u2019s a multichannel disruptive Anti<\/em>-PR package for those challenging the status quo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFamiliarity is a cornerstone to healthy business growth,” she advises, “and we never shy away from helping courageous, forward-thinking brands lean in now and reap the benefits for years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
