This review is from: Making Money is Not Illegal, Immoral, or Fattening (Paperback)

This book has tons of ideas that will increase sales. It is full of things that are easy to forget about, or ignore, when running a business. The best part of this book is that the stories and ideas are REAL- simple suggestions and anecdotes that even the busiest retailer will have time to implement. I highly recommend this book.

This review is from: Making Money is Not Illegal, Immoral, or Fattening (Paperback)

This book is so refreshing to read! Turns out you do not have to have three degrees and years of experience to run a small business, it helps, but Art walks you through common sense steps he has developed and learned that really make the difference between surviving and thriving and creating the business you want. His "nuggets" are indeed golden and reading this book and putting it's ideas into action will make you more money. I have read many business books and most have had something to offer, this book is simply too valuable to miss and more fun to read!

The principals covered in this book are not only critical to surviving in today's economic climate, but essential. Having been to several of Art Freedman's presentations, I can tell you his passion and excitement for making money at retail is directly translated to this book.
