I have often seen companies cut there advertising expenses when they are in recession. Whereas, It only sales, which can pull them out from recession. And Advertising, let you reach your potentials.
I always observe what big companies do in their advertisements, especially their e-mail newsletter ads. Sometimes they have great call to action words and techniques, like giveaways and discounts. You can get ideas or incorporate their techniques into your own business marketing.
Always keep a lookout and keep your eyes open for inspiration and ideas.
