From the Inside Flap
When it comes to promoting your business or your brands, you know how valuable high-profile attention can be. But for most small businesses, the cost of hiring an outside firm to drum up that attention can be too much to bear. Thankfully, visibility expert David Avrin knows how to creatively and strategically win the eyes and ears of the marketplace—without a massive marketing investment.
In It's Not Who You Know—It's Who Knows You!, Avrin shows you how to seize every opportunity to showcase your brand, whether you do it on the Internet, television, radio, storefront, or street corner. While everyone seems to be preaching the gospel of networking, Avrin argues that what's more important than who you know is who knows you. After all, you can't know all your potential customers, but by raising the profile of your business and brand, they can certainly know you!
You'll learn how to craft a truly marketable and promotable brand and raise your visibility using both new and traditional media alike—as well as your own charm and some creative techniques you haven't thought of. He provides the tools to help you discover and promote the truly unique characteristics of your business and design a marketing plan to promote your positives with a clear and powerful message.
When it comes to promoting your brand, sometimes you have to do it yourself—on the street, in the papers, and anywhere else. Filled with powerful examples of businesses that have done it right, you'll learn how to craft a great pitch and promote who you are and what you do with a sharper focus on what makes you different, attractive, preferable, and ultimately, the right choice. Every time you get attention for your brand—whether it's the headline story or just the word on the street—you create endless new opportunities for increasing sales.
