MCH has created an updated BudgetAware™ Bulletin. The March 2010 report contains an analysis of the latest economic trends, detailed breakdowns of available stimulus funds, and current state budget outlooks. B2B marketers can utilize the 57-page report to develop a state-by-state strategy to capitalize on the opportunities created by ARRA funding to institutions. In 2010, institutions will spend $107.7 billion in economic stimulus funds—more than double what was spent in 2009. Despite the doom and gloom headlines, economic conditions are stabilizing in many regions. 

Many of you have attended MCH webinars regarding recession resistant and stimulus marketing so you've heard us say NOW is the time to be in front of institutional decision makers. Our message is the same today—2010 will be the peak year for ARRA institutional spending and you need to make sure you are positioned to capitalize on opportunities.
