World economics - does it cut down your sales?

[R-Yeah]

Hello Warriors,

It seems no body talks about it that much here or maybe i have missed this topic,

But as we all can't ignore what happens in the world with the economics going down which leads to a chain reaction if it is from people being fired up to the customer don't buy a thing.

I wanted to know from your experience as a marketer if you feel this with your internet sales,
Or the internet marketing is still safe place to sell.

Thanks.

Economics do make a difference. One thing I've noticed is that my sales are not only a little down but more erratic.

Having said that, I think online sales will generally suffer less than offline. In fact some sources report that online sales are increasing at the expense of offline retail. A lot of it will depend on your niche and the strategies you use to sell in a touch market.

I can clearly see the impact of a downturn in offline activities. It's the trickle down effect and it is affecting product and service sales.
