The Center for Media Research has released a study by Vertical Response that shows just where many of these ‘Main Street’ players are going with their online dollars. The big winners: e-mail and social media. With only 3.8% of small business folks NOT planning on using e-mail marketing and with social media carrying the perception of being free (which they so rudely discover it is far from free) this should make some in the banner and search crowd a little wary.

Four Reasons I’m Bullish on Canada…

While economies around the world struggle, Canada has a lot going for it. Sound banking system, sustainable welfare, commodities and favourable geography, all mark a pretty bright future….

Shaun,

Thanks for pointing that out, I am gradually coming to the same conclusion.

I have read several reports that suggest sub-prime problems are highly regional. It is as true in your part as it is in Canada. For example, prairie provinces are doing fairly well, yet regions highly dependent on the manufacturing and auto industry (Ontario) and the oil industry (Alberta) are suffering disproportionately more than their fellow provinces.

Europe is even choppier. Almost every country (which, economically and geographically, probably the size idea as a state) suffers from a unique set of problems. And the differences are vast. Some have export problems (Germany), some face the burst of a housing bubble (Spain), some must deal with collapsing banking system due to their investments in either the 1) US sub-prime (Iceland, Ireland, England), or 2) crappy eastern European loans (Austria).

I think you’re especially right about the commodities and agriculture of Canada in general. Over the next few years/decades, commodities and agriculture will most likely become of extreme economic importance.

I live in Arkansas, a “backwoods” state in the US, notorious for being “behind the times.” Still, our economy has suffered much less than many of the other states in the Union due to our banks not engaging in subprime mortgage lending — we actually made money in the financial sector in the midst of the financial crisis.

It’s interesting to watch how different countries react to different regional economies, and how even my state is reacting extremely differently than, say, Michigan.
