Guerrilla Marketing – www.gmarketing.com
Guerrilla Marketing has become a landmark book in 62 languages for one simple reason: it works like no other marketing: to maximize your profits and minimize your investment. Small and large businesses alike have applied the principles of Guerrilla Marketing because of their simplicity, common sense, and record of being proven in action. One of the main reasons that businesses fail is lack of marketing insight. Guerrilla Marketing provides that insight. With 20 million copies of Guerrilla Marketing books sold worldwide, and the many university MBA programs offering Guerrilla Marketing, this is now far beyond an opinion. Guerrilla Marketing is the best known marketing brand in history.
