Kennedy dares marketers to dramatically simplify their marketing, refocusing on what works.

Strategies are illustrated by case history examples from an elite team of consultants—all phenomenally successful at borrowing direct marketing strategies from the world of mail-order, TV infomercials, etc., to use in ’ordinary’ businesses including retail stores, restaurants, and sales.
This text provides step-by-step strategies for making the leap from traditional marketing techniques to marketing via the Internet's own special rules of engagement. It addresses issues such as how to make your e-mail communications welcome, when e-mail becomes spam, and maintaining privacy.
