Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
In a sequel to his Guerrilla Marketing ( LJ 2/15/84) and Guerrilla Marketing Attack ( LJ 3/15/89), Levinson offers a practical approach to his technique. He defines a weapon "as a method of communication or contact with customers and prospects designed to render service, improve quality, clarify benefits, enhance credibility, or make the customer or prospect feel good." Weapons studied include pricing, brand-name awareness, follow-up, speed, neatness, and credibility. This very practical guide should be consulted by both practitioners and students of business. All three books are recommended to public libraries with comprehensive business collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book should get 10 stars, November 30, 2005

By	Dottie A. Randazzo "reader of everything" (Pennsylvania, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I first started my business 13 years ago I didn't know the first thing about marketing. The book is divided into two parts, 50 things you can do that don't cost anything and 50 things that cost. This book was my bible and there were only 3 things that wouldn't work with my business. My phone began to ring and my friends were impressed with my marketing skills. I didn't feel I had marketing skills. I just knew how to read and follow instructions. I highly recommend this book for anyone getting started or for anyone just wanting to jump start their business and see if there is anything that they could do and maybe aren't.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREATEST ADVERTISING AND MARKETING BOOK EVER WRITTEN, December 23, 2000

By A Customer

As a small business owner, I have read dozens of books on advertising and marketing. Most deal with theory and few with real world solutions. This book gives you 100 ideas that you can use to improve sales. Many with low cost. Truly an amazing work!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Common sense is really not so common!, September 4, 2005

By	Veronica Belshaw "aliijewelryhawaii" (kona, HI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I received this book and was thoroughly impressed with it's simplicity and layout. I was feeling very nervous about opening my own retail store in beautiful Hawai'i, but Jay Conrad Levinson's books really helped me to quantify what EXACTLY I need to do to lessen my fear of venturing into the unknown *insert final frontier styled music here, lol* Incidentally, I was able to get a great location, but I learned that the buck does not stop just there - with my arsenal of low cost marketing tactics, I really think that we can enjoy some kick arse sales. We have been open for three business days, who knows what the future may bring - however, due to the aid of these books, Im feeling more confident about the unknown. Marketing, service and quality of product is key, baby. Cheers, Veronica
