Author Q&A
Q: Why did you write this book?
A: Because as a small business owner, marketing specialist and consultant, these are the things that I keep repeating to my clients. Getting the basics right and a general understanding of the role that marketing, branding, and advertising all play together to create success in any business is often overlooked and it's an expensive oversight.
Q: Do you cover anything about online and social media marketing in this book?
A: Yes, a lot really, but not How to advertise on Facebook in depth. More about getting your brand and marketing strategy sorted so that what you do either ON or OFF line is more effective. That's the key to successful marketing on ANY platform.
Q: Finally, what sort of templates and resources does the book have for readers?
A: Things to help plan, measure, and manage your advertising. Your branding checklists and social media checklists are also made available on the linked website page. These are essential tools I've developed over nearly 20 years of business and marketing coaching and consulting for clients who have achieved some outstanding results.
Warning: This is the BASIC's of marketing - if you're already 'pretty good at this', then maybe this book is not for you. But if you're starting out trying to understand marketing at beginner's level then this is the FIRST book you should read to help everything else make sense!
