Guerrilla Marketing, 4th edition: Easy and Inexpensive Strategies for Making Big Profits from Your SmallBusiness

I don't like the book. Jay Conrad use the book to promote his other books. There's no helpful examples or specific tips to use. You will achieve more results and gain more knowledge from the book Scientific Advertising of Claude C. Hopkins.

Very helpful information for small businesses working out ways to best market their products and services

An easy and friendly read, packed full of information... Many ideas you may already know, but have never taken full advantage of. At least a dozen strategies you can start using right now, and a few more that you will really need to plan carefully to use effectively. Levinson explains the importance of focussed and consistent advertising, referrals, testimonials and so much more. You'll learn about how and why you need to get it right BEFORE you advertise, then a multitude of simple ways to get your message out there. I've been in the design and advertising business for 30 years. I have always had some cool ideas for the graphic design... now I'm getting the MESSAGE right, too! This book has given me new insight into how we can get the best return on a small budget. I'm using these ideas at my full-time job for a commercial printer, as well as with a new business my wife and I started in October, 2007. So far, even in this dismal economy, we're seeing 10 to 20% growth each month. Thank you Jay. Almost every page of this book is covered in yellow highlighter!

This book is outstanding. I have yet to finish reading the whole thing, but will soon. After each chapter it fills you with such inspiration for your business you will have to put it down and start acting on the secrets you KNOW your competition is overlooking.

As a small tackle shop that carries fishing flies and supplies, not many - if ANY - of my competitors are doing any of the secrets locked within these pages, so it has really opened up a whole world of possibilities for what I do.

This book will do more for ANY business, or business who wants its employees to further the image, word, branding, marketing and every aspect of the business. Before I bought this book I always thought to grow, you needed to spend big bucks on marketing and advertising.... what was I thinking?
Written to be inspiring, it WILL call you to action with real world applications they won't teach you in business school, because some of the most effective things have little or no cost!
GET THIS BOOK if you want your business to flourish or if you have a business, or just a hobby you would like to see some return from. If you just want it to sink into the ground... well then, I guess you won't need it.
We were wasting so much money before, just missing the point or not understanding how people work, and marketing vs advertising. The author is a real world pro at big and small business, where has this book been all my life?
Practicing what he preaches this author has made some struggling companies turn into daily household words... and even cultural icons - Like The Marlboro man, Proctor and Gamble, and a multitude of others. Learn from those who can show you some of their successes, don't waste time on authors with nothing under their belts to show for their theories.
BUY THIS BOOK FIRST.

Look on every other bookstore website. The review's are EXACTLY the same...word for word. I smell a skunk.
