Marketing News: Sporting events : small businesses could be in for the serious windfall they need and deserve
When the football World Cup trundles around every four years, business journalists like me are inundated with press releases from accountants and economists estimating the likely impact of the event on the national economy.
Assuming it isn't being held in the UK, the impact on economic output is good in some ways, bad in others. It's good because fans stock up on merchandise (like the little car flags you see on white vans), drink more in pubs and generally spend money.
It's bad because keen fans take holiday to watch games, even keener ones pull sick days and hangovers lower the nation's productivity. Of course the situation is very different when you're the host nation, when money flows in from all over the place.
