Review
An excellent new book.... Added to his ideas for creating an exciting store, Falk addresses many key topics to help small retailers compete with larger competitors. -- San Francisco Examiner --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
In a new, completely revised and updated edition of his 1999 classic 1001 Ideas to Create Retail Excitement, public relations and marketing guru Edgar Falk shows small, medium, and large business owners how to make the most of retail opportunities in any economic environment, and teaches all business owners how to think big in the face of growing competition and consumer insecurity.

In our ever-changing economy, Falk's strategies are an absolute necessity for survival and success. Here, he offers a veritable encyclopedia of practical suggestions that show small- to medium-sized retailers how to attract new customers, then goes on to offer solid, time-tested advice on how to keep them coming back, over and over again. From proven-successful ideas for eye-catching window displays, in-store promotions, and special events to tested strategies for market research and publicity, this guide provides everything the small business owner needs to become more aggressive and effective in pulling in customers and fending off competition.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very basic information, August 28, 1998
By A Customer
I found this book to be most appropriate for beginners or people running their own business. It did not seem to be writen with the professional Promotion Manager in mind. Tactics that are listed are "tried and true" promotions that you are likely to find being used by a small, local retailer. If you work for a large corporation, save your money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very shallow coverage, November 28, 1998
By A Customer
If you're looking for a book about big time retail advertising then this is not it. But if you are a small business just getting started you could do worse. However most of the things in this book are everyday ideas that most anyone could come up with. Hard to justify the expense of the book when it is so obvious on so many levels. Can't recommend it unless you get it as a gift for Christmas.

5.0 out of 5 stars A real meat and potatoes book for the truly hungry, April 29, 1998
By A Customer
This is without doubt the best book on creating retail excitement that I have ever seen, and I have read more than a few. The ideas expressed herein are easy to use, not expensive, and truly do work. This is a book that gives you the nuts and bolts of exactly how to create retail excitement, not just a lot of gray area fluff. In addition to the ideas provided, this book will help you to get your own creative juices flowing. I am very appreciative to Mr. Falk for his help. This is a book that is worth many many times its cost. Not an expense, this book truly is an investment.
