No surprise here, i even thought it would be higher than 12%.
I as well. The economy is one reason for this but I also believe that it has to do with other forms of advertising that are more cost effective or free. The world is heading toward “free” status but it will take a long time to get there because in reality, nothing is really “free”. It could be if someone didn’t have to provide it. The world is going through some very serious changes and this just proves it. Everything goes back to people, their values, what they spend their money on, etc. These days it is either watch tv or put dinner on the table. Which would you choose if you had to make a decision?
