In addition, these companies can just blame the economy for their lack of stewardship and get a free pass for their moronic business decisions. This is the time when you differentiate yourself from your competitors by offering huge MegaBonus deals (ex. 100k for 40 nights), 50-60k credit card bonuses (25k is SO laughable post-jan-15th), 2 free alcoholic drinks in CLs from 4-6pm, and/or just above cost hotel rooms.
