The digital shift from in-store to online is ever-changing particularly even more so with the current volatile market conditions; consumer behaviour has shifted towards online shopping with some clients seeing better weeks & months than Black Friday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The upcoming recession is going to prove to be a tricky time for all businesses but while a recession does present widespread challenges, it also offers a chance to spot business opportunities for those that know where to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"business-strategies-during-a-recession\">Business strategies during a recession\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>It’s a natural instinct for business owners and marketing managers to want to recession-proof their businesses as much as possible, but that’s easier said than done. There is no silver bullet to keeping your business afloat during times of economic instability, but making sure your processes are adaptable and flexible, meaning you are able to change and pivot as required, will certainly give you the best fighting change. Here are some of the ways we foresee businesses needing to adjust during the recession period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"adjust-your-ppc-campaigns\">\u003Cstrong>Adjust your PPC campaigns\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>As the market is volatile, changes to your PPC campaigns are required frequently and therefore efficiencies are required. Using \u003Cstrong>automated strategies\u003C\u002Fstrong> in the short term to ensure that your campaigns are updated using real-time data to perform. A combination of data-driven automation and intelligent manual tweaks is required for truly agile and proactive campaign management. Although automation is key to helping achieve fast adjustments, the changes the AI is making could be based on previous behaviour so manual optimisations are still just as important to ensure no anomalies in performance are missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Increase your discoverability\u003C\u002Fstrong> and adapt to the market instantly by trying out new paid keywords that come through in search queries or recommendations. It is a good time to opt-in for \u003Cem>Dynamic Search Ads (DSA)\u003C\u002Fem> as these also bring in unique customer queries. With the ads being relevant to the customer search, these can increase the CTR and CVR.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"customer-journeys-remarketing\">Customer journeys & remarketing\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Customer journeys\u003C\u002Fstrong> are changing and the duration of these journeys are generally increasing as people have more time to browse & are now looking for the best deals as competition across the market increases & as stores remain shut.

Impression has made it clear to customers in various accounts that cancellations are available and that they can rebook for next year.
