So many marketing books are business fodder and fantasy. Clever words penned by ladies and gentlemen who are more impressed with themselves than with the need to get good information in the hands of people who need it to grow their businesses.

If there's one thing that sets this book apart from those types that I mentioned, it's the practical, valuable nature of the information inside. There's more in here, in terms of actionable value, than in many seminars I've attended that cost thousands of dollars. This book is a true bargain for the business builder.

Small companies need to bring in as much business as they can. Large corporations need to bring in the right businesses as clients. The essential marketing strategies to accomplish both of these objectives
are rarely found in one source. These proven, real-life, how-to examples are extraordinarily helpful! A must read!

I was sharing this book with a friend who said in review, this is white gaint, I questioned his reference- a white gaint is a small star so intenese and compacted that it glows white hot and winks at you from the night sky. The ideas contained in this work are like that white star so condensed and compact with workable solutions that it winks at you ... will you put these to work? Smart business people know a bargin - this is it - one of these ideas will be the answer you seek in business marketing.

As a sales and business consultant, author and speaker I am always on the look out for new ideas that help a business improve sales performance. This book, "49 Marketing Secrets (That Work) To Grow Sales", provides more successful real life examples in its 300 pages than you can find in 10 other books.

This book provides insights from 34 different contributing authors who are experts in many different industries. I have not found another resource that provides the depth of exerience delivered here.

I am also impressed by the breadth of sale growth topics covered, including: Strategic Planning, Branding and Corporate Image, Media Strategies, Networking Strategies, Technology Based Marketing Strategies, Event Strategies, and Sales.

This is a must read for business owners, consultants, sales and marketing professionals who want new ideas and strategies to grow their business.

I wrote a book about buzz Marketing techniques, and what everyone kept asking me is "Tell me the best one thing I can do..." I hated that question because there is no one thing that is universal for everyone. 49 Marketing secrets challenged a variety of authors and small business owners to share their best one thing in marketing. It may not tell you what your one best thing to do is, but it will definitely narrow the scope for you. This is a must read.

Lots of book and seminar titles claim to have the "secret" answers, but only THIS one lived up to its title in my opinion! Most of us small business owners don't have time to breathe, much less sit down and read a book! I was able to get truly practical ideas from 49 Marketing Secrets in 10-minute sessions due to how the book is organized. I thank Ron Finklestein for brilliantly compiling real-life experience and knowledge from multiple business giants and distilling it down to methods that can be immediately implemented and that don't cost an arm and a leg. There was more valuable information in this book than I have gotten from any high-priced business consultant! And I really liked that the ideas are practical, not academic or of corporate philosophy! It's about time we hear from people "in-the-trenches" who have really done it and succeeded.

I had the distinct honor of actually contributing to this book by writing two chapters in it, but what really amazed me was all the key knowledge gained from the other authors who contributed. The old saying that every day is a new learning experience is quite true. I can honestly say that I gained some little "nugget" of knowledge from each and every chapter in this book. When you put this many people and their experience in one book you can't help but create a valuable source of knowledge and oppotunity to learn...

At the end of the day, few small to medium sized business owners have time to sit back and develop strategies designed to take their business to the next level. For most, success is getting through the day after handling, production, marketing, customer and or employee issues.

49 Marketing Secrets is for the business owner who doesn't need 200 plus pages to work through a single idea or concept. This book offers practical, proven and repeatable business strategies that could help any business. After a hard day of work or over a weekend where you want to get inspired, take a moment to read the 49 Marketing Secrets. You will find one or two (at least) that resonate with you and fit the "pains" your organization is experiencing today. Each are an easy read, designed to get your own creativity flowing and to spark ideas and concepts that are waiting to be ignited in your head!
