The majority of economists the Wall Street Journal surveyed during the past few days said the recession that began in December 2007 is now over. Our nations Gross Domestic Product increased at an annual rate of 5.7% in the fourth quarter of 2009. This is huge, and it follows a 2.2% rise in the third quarter. This is a great news, don’t you think?
So what does this mean to you? The phone is still not ringing like it used to is it? Well it means that there will be a slow but steady “coming about” in the collective thought process in our business communities. We are just starting to see the signs. How about you?
A year ago it was hard to get a business owner’s attention unless you were telling him how to cut costs on necessary expenses. Any unnecessary expenses had of course been eliminated in the prior 12 months. This year I am beginning to notice a new willingness among businessmen and women, to actually have a discussion about possible ways to raise revenue. That is a welcome change. From new websites, to trade show displays, people are starting to consider that this may be the time to get a jump on their competitors, and win market share.
You know what, I think it is! Even though the recession is technically over, it still does not exactly feel like the recovery is in gear. Many business people are still taking a wait and see approach. It will take some guts, but I think history will prove that those who hit the gas now, and ramp up their revenue generating activities, will be rewarded with nice gains in both market share and revenue in 2010.
We at youHUGE would love to speak with you about how to win market share from your competitors. And remember, if you need your display “Yesterday,” call youHUGE today!

The Recession is Over! Is it Time to Hit the Gas?
