Email, voicemail, blogging, FB updates, texting and tweets are ways to communicate. Appreciation Marketing is a way to bring the much needed live component and personal touch to business. We learned from the "greats", Tom Hopkins and Joe Girard that there is power in sending thank you notes/cards. And, as young children our parents told us to "always say thank you". We may have aged and the players may have changed, but the game remains the same. "Always say thank you".

The techniques that Tommy and Curtis share are simple to implement, yet brilliant! Business professionals and owners who apply these fundamentals will find they can have more business coming to them, rather than chasing business.

I wish this book could be in the curriculum at every high school. Imagine how great our society and business world would be if everyone lived a life with the gratitude attitude!

I appreciate Tommy and Curtis for sharing this gift of Appreciation Marketing.

When was the last time you went to your mailbox and got a card from someone you did business with, and it wasn't your birthday, wasn't a holiday, wasn't a special occasion - and it didn't have business cards, logos, or ask for referrals? It rarely happens! What if it did? Appreciation wins over self promotion every time, and this book will show you how to WOW your clients and prospects and show them that you truly do care. People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. We are all in the relationship building business, and this book will show you how to build and maintain a rolodex of clients that LOVE you and want to help you. It's all about appreciation and Tommy and Curtis have a homerun with this book!

I received and read "Appreciation Marketing" today - took about 1 1/2 hours. Deceptively simple, but rarely well-executed, this down-to-earth advice will set your business apart and above the competition. From ages 5 to 105, anyone can and everyone should implement an "Appreciation Marketing Strategy" in their personal and professional lives. I ordered 3 more copies this afternoon so I could give it to my partners before the weekend. Buy it, read it, APPLY IT and give it to everyone in your life whose success you care about. (I just ordered 50 more to get a start on doing just that!)
