My reason for writing this book

I have written this book for every small business owner and independent professional who wants to make a success of their business marketing. My aim has been to provide you with an easy to read guide full of ideas that ignite your passion for promoting your business and attracting more customers.

During the course of my work with small businesses I found many people frustrated with their marketing effort. Many find it hard work, confusing, time consuming and difficult to get a good return on any investment made. I wrote this book to inspire everyone who feels like this. I want to show you how easy it can be for you to turn things around and start getting the results you deserve.

The ideas presented in this book are practical, real, straightforward and easy for you to apply yourself. This book is designed to be your own pocket marketing consultant. It is there to help you when you need a quick injection of inspiration and when you want to plan your marketing strategy. This book can be all you need to make your marketing work.

How to use this book step by step

This book is structured in a way to enable you to think about the ideas presented and then apply them to your own business. Starting at the beginning with some of the vital thinking you need to do before embarking on the creation of your marketing plan, you will be guided step by step through the maze. The chapters all logically fit together like the pieces of a jigsaw. Each piece is necessary to create the complete picture.

Reading this book will enable you to create a marketing plan that is exactly right for you.

Create your marketing plan as you go

With the structure and elements of a marketing plan explained at the start you will be able to move through the chapters one by one, making notes as you go. You can complete your plan section by section. It’s as easy as that.

Pick it up and put it down

This book is also designed to enable you to pick up for a quick idea or an instant reference as you need it. I hope that it will sit on your desk and be referred to from time to time as you need a reminder of the ‘How to’ guidance or check list information.

Special response questions

Nearly every section has a check list that contains a number of special response questions. These questions are designed to stimulate the thinking you need to do to be able to apply the ideas presented to you and your business.

An easy read

I know how busy most small business owners are and that finding the time or motivation to pick up a book can be a struggle. It has been written for you to enjoy with an easy structure to follow, jargon free language, stimulating quotes with questions and ideas that will transform your business marketing.

I do hope that you enjoy this book and it helps you to make your business marketing make you money!
