John’s book is full of those moments, when he talks about ” A Solution to THE Small Business Problem“, marketing. His book fills any bootstrappers heart with joy as he takes you step-by-step to developing your own marketing plan. Along the way you will find many suggestions, like “Why the post office is a great resource” and many more.

Any if you’re thinking about marketing, you should consider this book. As John said:

“If you get nothing else from this book, get this: You are are in the marketing business! Marketing is an all-ecompassing outlook that must inform every activity of you business.”

I loved reading it and can recommend it to you. Duct Tape Marketing is available via John’s blog and Amazon in the US or UK. ST.
