When's the best time to advertise? When everyone else isn't. Especially in a tough market or in a down market, spending money to promote your business has been proven over many business cycles to give you the highest Return on Investment.

Why? Because in tough times, your competitor's don't advertise. They usually cut their budgets! Consistent advertisers, especially during economic dips end up taking share from their competitors when the market swings again to positive territory. This isn't our opinion. It's been studied for close to 100 years (McGraw Hill):

Aggressive advertisers in down markets are the first ones to benefit on any market uptick. So what are you waiting for? Call us. You get an integrated campaign based on solid business principles without the cute, the soft core, the fluffy. That's for the other guys. And now's the time to do it!

We will counsel you to get the most from your marketing dollar no matter what your idea or product is. If we can't help you, we'll find you someone who can.

My grandfather died at age 65 sitting behind his desk. A lawyer and CPA he was a successful investor and astute businessman. The Savings and Loan business that he had started in the waning years of the Depression, 3 miles directly West of Comiskey Park on the near West side of Chicago, had a solid local customer base that included many Polish and Irish immigrants.

I do not remember my grandfather. My father used to tell me that he would hide candy in the drawers of his desk, and my brothers and I, all under the age of 5 at the time, would scramble through his pockets and roll-top trying to find our prize. My parents, 2 brothers and I lived above the Savings and Loan. Sometime in 1954, my mother’s sister from downstate Teutopolis stopped by long enough to hold our hands and pose for this picture.

My grandfather lives on through us. He taught us by his being. There are lessons learned we cannot repay.
