If you live in reality, you understand the impact of rising costs, and lowered returns..Its all around you, but if you’re in for the long haul, then new technology, even in a floundering business environment, can actually have a lot to do with how you ride a storm.

I quit listening about any kind of recession months ago. I have been going with the standpoint that there is just more market share out there for me now since there seems to be fewer distributors in business. I believe the media started the scare and made most people scared to spend money which started the downward spiral. I have actually seen an increase in the quantity of orders over the last 6-8 months, but a slightly lower average order size. Once the "recession" scare is over, my customer base will be larger and the repeat orders from those customers will be larger. Adding the future repeat orders to my new customer orders throughout the year, I am predicting an increase in sales for 2009. I see a positive forecast on my end.

I have switched my focus to Europe since they are still buying for now. I have also been cutting my margins and MOQ to get orders from new clients.

There are lots of deals going on, so the strong will always prevail. However, I think you are missing a very important option for those distributors (and suppliers) that are not only seeing diminished revenues, but are REQUIRED to assess, and act quickly, on defraying their own expenses. Suggestion: Social Media. It is bacially free. Only demand is your time. We have decided, at Big Frey, that we MUST re-invent how we sell. We need more eyeballs.
