Some Good News? Maybe . . .

Hanley Wood’s Key Indicator Alert came out yesterday with some interesting information. According to the report, “. . . building permits, housing starts, existing home sales and new home sales all post[ed] increases in February.” Wow, that is good news.

I’m sure you’ve been hearing about the rebound on Wall Street, too.

Unemployment is still up but that is to be expected. Even at the beginning of the end of a recession, employers continue to shed jobs. That’s how they dig themselves out. And they won’t add new jobs for awhile either.

It will be interesting to see if this is sustainable for another month.

In the meantime, keep up your marketing, watch your expenses and trim them wherever possible. Keep in touch with your past customers, they are your lifeline. And don’t let the media get you down.

Here’s one of my favorite quotes:

“If you’re going through hell, keep going!”
Winston Churchill
