As long as men and women dream, the luxury market will flourish, says North American Ferrari's Gian Luigi Longinotti-Buitoni. Today, when more people than ever have the opportunity to become wealthy, and when technological advances help reduce the cost of 'physical maintenance', freeing consumers to spend proportionately less money on satisfying basic needs and more on fulfilling their dreams, the luxury market is no longer marginal. Buitoni, a man who speaks with great authority about the business of selling dreams, demonstrates how entrepeneurs and managers from all fields of business can learn a great deal from those who market products and services that ardently appeal to a customer's imagination and desires. In SELLING DREAMS, Buitoni explains his concept of 'dreamketing', where brand management is elevated to an art form, requiring artists, market sociologists, and executives to conjure up images that take hold in the consumer's collective consciousness and to attract interest in products and services that will set tomorrow's trends. His practical, step-by-step marketing plans are easily adaptable, and they will appeal to anyone who wants to stay ahead of the competition.

For the last 150 years, advertising has created a consumer culture in the United States, shaping every facet of American life—from what we eat and drink to the clothes we wear and the cars we drive. In the United States, advertising has carved out an essential place in American culture, and advertising messages undoubtedly play a significant role in determining how people interpret the world around them. This three-volume set examines the myriad ways that advertising has influenced many aspects of 20th-century American society, such as popular culture, politics, and the economy. Advertising not only played a critical role in selling goods to an eager public, but it also served to establish the now world-renowned consumer culture of our country and fuel the notion of "the American dream." The collection spotlights the most important advertising campaigns, brands, and companies in American history, from the late 1800s to modern day. Each fact-driven essay provides insight and in-depth analysis that general readers will find fascinating as well as historical details and contextual nuance students and researchers will greatly appreciate. These volumes demonstrate why advertising is absolutely necessary, not only for companies behind the messaging, but also in defining what it means to be an American.
Guy Kawasaki's phenomenal success at Apple Computer and as a start-up entrepreneur was the result of an innovative approach to sales, marketing, and management called evangelism. Evangelism means convincing people to believe in your product or ideas as much as you do, by using fervor, zeal, guts, and cunning to mobilize your customers and staff into becoming as passionate about a cause as you are. Selling the Dream is a handbook and workbook for putting evangelism into action. Kawasaki charts a complete blueprint for the beginning evangelist that covers such topics as how to define a cause (whether it is a business, like Windham Hill Records or the Body Shop, or a public interest concern, like the National Audubon Society or Mothers Against Drunk Driving), how to identify good and bad enemies, how to deliver an effective presentation, and how to find, train, and recruit new evangelists. One of the highlights of the book is a short course in developing an evangelistic business plan, illustrated by the complete, original Macintosh Product Introduction Plan. Selling the Dream will teach you how to become a raging, inexorable thunder lizard of an evangelist -- a leader whose words will never fall on deaf ears again.
