but I do have to worry about the fact that my clients/customers are a market that increasingly face a rocky financial situation... and I'm not exactly selling essentials here.

Start selling 'essentials?'

...that's not a glib one liner, btw.
I came to the conclusion many years ago, that if I was selling, would try to stay as close to 'the essentials' as possible.
Food, accommodation, (and sex).
I'd also include alcohol, tobacco, and sugars (drugs) in that category to. (slightly less 'essential', but in demand at all times)
..hence I've had bars, restaurants, hostels,resorts, etc... I'm sure you get the idea.

The closer you are to providing the basics needed in life, to others, the less you're a victim to circumstances that are beyond your control.
With the oncoming economic collapse , the basics are the strongest line of products to be selling, for one's own financial stability (in my opinion).

...I'll stop now.
