Of all the direct marketing books out there, Lois Geller's books reign supreme. An award winning professor at New York University, she has once again tapped her expertise for a fabulous how to get started in direct marketing book. This book, her latest since Response!, is an easy to read "cookbook" of everything you need to market your product(s) from A to Z. If ever you thought about getting in the direct marketing of your products or services this is the book for you. Along with Response! The Complete Guide to Profitable Direct Marketing ANYONE from a CEO, recent college grad or stay at home parent can develop a thriving business just from reading these two essential books.

Even though I have an MBA in marketing, I still learned something new from this book! It's a fast-reading book with useful tips, exercises and interactive tools that can be very useful for someone who has their own business. The only flaw with this book is that it does not include a direct e-mail section. Other than that, I highly recommend it. Especially for this price, you can't go wrong!

Our business is home baked products. We started with a local bakery and now we've gone national. This book helped us make a lot of "dough" as we've expanded into the catalog business -- this year grossing over 1 million dollars!

As a freelancer, I always thought direct marketing was for "the big guys." But after I read this book, I realized there were many ways I could use it to market myself. The book is very user-friendly and includes plenty of examples that make putting Ms. Geller's suggestion into use quick and easy.
