Jay won’t see this blog post so he won’t be able to respond to your message.

My views:

True, if the profit margin is negative, then all the market share in the world won’t be able to help you. Nevertheless, a bigger market share will mean you have a greater economy of scale, which may save your margin.

For industries that don’t have a sufficient market size, Many could fail. Some others might consolidate. When the economy recovers, the survivors will emerge stronger than ever since there are now less competitors.

Well. Power partnering is good.
But those actions are in the capital side, or
in the business-owner side.

But, what about the fall of market size, since
that is the main prove that the world is in crisis ?

Many businesses are getting bankrupt because of
the fall of market.

Well, even the market doesn’t fall to zero,
but how can we succeed if the market we have,
drop to minimum that we cannot get enough profit margin
to share ?

You said that all businesses stop advertising,
(read: stop spending money) because they don’t
want to pay to throw money down the drain.
Well that is the condition of the market its self !;
since we are not only business-owners, we are also
the consumers of the other businesses.
Definitely, we are the market of other businesses!

So, my question is, how to grab the market ?
