New Doremus Web Poll Finds Nobody Sleeping On Their Money

Aug. 12, 2008 - PRLog -- There’s no money under the mattresses of investors on Main Street, according to a new Doremus web poll.

Doremus is the specialist business communications agency that takes the complex and makes it compelling. During the month of July and early August, the company asked visitors to their corporate web site:

In this environment, are you better off putting money under the mattress (vs. investing in the stock market)?

The results were heavily in favor of riding out the ups and downs of the current economy.

A surprising 51% of those who responded answered that NO, they did not think hoarding their money away under the mattress was the way to go, even in this volatile market. (Only 26% said they would seek this haven, while 23% were undecided.)

“Even in a highly volatile marketplace,” said Carl Anderson, Chief Executive Officer of Doremus, “people can find investment opportunities and, if history is to repeat itself, they will be rewarded in the long run.”  

Marketers at financial services firms who want to reach investors in tough times would be smart to talk about their firm’s track record for identifying long-term growth investments that have withstood the test of challenging economic times.

They might also offer online asset allocation advice for investors at various ends of the employment spectrum … those just starting their careers, those juggling a family and the strains of paying for college, and those with retirement closing in.
