The author's conversational tone makes it feel like I have just hired my very own marketing consultant - - - but one I can talk to at midnight in my pajamas for less than the cost of lunch. In my initial consultation, I tackled the concise Marketing 101 section. The absence of long, theory-based explanations makes it easy-to-follow and PRACTICAL! Especially impressive is the simple and straight-forward approach to social media and web-based marketing. I walked away with an understanding of how to create a framework for consistent and engaging communication with my target audience using ideas that were easy to implement immediately. In my next several sessions, I felt as though I were brainstorming with my consultant: the book provides a list of promotions, activities, and themes broken down month-by-month, week-by-week, and day-by-day. Sticky notes in hand, I flagged a number of ideas that seem like a perfect match for my marketing goals. I appreciate the variety of proposals, ranging from simple ideas for monthly newsletter themes to ambitious partnership events with local businesses. Never preachy or pedantic, the book got me fired-up about some strategies I could really see myself using. This is a resource I can imagine myself returning to again and again for new ideas and inspiration. If you are looking for marketing plans or ideas but don't have the time or money to sit down with a marketing consultant, then this book is a must-have!

I have had the good fortune of working with some of the top publicists in the country over the last 22 years, and wish that I could have read this book first. It would have made me much more effective in working with them, and also could have avoided a lot of their fees.
The advice is sound, based on my own experiences with a 37 city book tour in 1999. What it took me 37 cities to learn, you could glean from just reading this book. I envy you this opportunity.
Whatever your budget or appetite for public relations, the book will help you design and implement an effective program. It covers all of the basics, except for the Internet (which wasn't really a factor when this book was written). You will learn how to put out a press release, hold a press conference, do interviews, and create media events. Most of these things can be done relatively inexpensively, certainly at lower cost than with advertising.
I especially liked the high ethical standards that the book sets. It's easy to cut corners, but that is both wrong and eventually becomes ineffective.
May your 15 minutes of fame come soon as a result!
Seriously, public relations is a highly effective way to introduce potential customers to your products or services. It serves a good secondary purpose of helping you think through your message and who your audience is. This book does a good job of giving you questions to help you do both of these tasks. Follow this advice, and your business should be more successful within a year. Remember Mr. Levine's advice though, it's quality . . . not quantity . . . that counts.
