    Fear is one of the most powerful human emotions. People use it all the time in their marketing messages.

    If you have something that can actually help your prospects - why not help them?

      This is why people are buying houses now... when prices are low. Millions are made when the economy dips.

    You're only bringing to full consciousness
    the conversation that's already in their
    head.

    As TL wrote, if you can actually help
    them then you're doing something of
    value.

    Of course you can. In fact, you can notice a lot of websites already using the economic climate in their sales copy with much success..

    Some offer solution, some discounts etc ..

    It actually happens on a daily basis regardless of the state of the economy. Look at all the newschannels, all they do is cleverly propogate *FEAR* to make us all spend more and more on things that we don't need in the first place.

      It was a joke. Read the OP and think about what I said.
      Knew I should have put the smiley on the end.
