Outrageous Advertising That's Outrageously Successful: Created for the 99% of Small Business Owners Who Are Dissatisfied with the Results They Get

by Bill Glazer, Dan Kennedy (Foreword)

When a sprinkler malfunctioned at a Baltimore menswear store, three inches of water sat on the floor and much of the merchandise was wet. The owner, the author of this book, could have done the normal thing and sell the wet merchandise to a Jobber--a business that buys damaged goods in bulk for cheap. Instead, he did the OUTRAGEOUS thing--he advertised in a very OUTRAGEOUS way which resulted in receiving much more than he would have received from the Jobber. It was easy. Here is an OUTRAGEOUS idea--it's easy to make a lot of money from advertising. That's right, easy money! This book, OUTRAGEOUS ADVERTISING THAT'S OUTRAGEOUSLY SUCCESSFUL, explains in certain terms how to advertise and make money. Rich with examples and stories showing exactly how to implement a successful OUTRAGEOUS program, this book cracks the code on getting a return on your advertising dollars--an OUTRAGEOUS return!

Great! This is a must read for all interested in business and marketing.

What is there to say? Bill is a master. The book is filled with real examples of impossible-to-ignore advertising campaigns that worked, and gives you help in adapting them to your own business. I'm glad I read it, and glad I met him while he was still active.

a must have swipe file for marketing ideas and it will help to build the campaigns you want to release for your business

really poor advertising book. examples are not only outrageous but virtually impossible to borrow unless you're selling something unemotional like cars or furniture or suits. if you're selling services or 'soft goods' then these kinds of promotions would be out of place. entirely. imagine martha stewart's new bakery in NYC using a man in a gorilla suit to get more foot traffic. i think not.

[Greg Noland · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved the ideas in this book, and one of those you will keep coming back to over and over again, read for 5 minutes, and you instantly think of a new way to get your business moving again. Valuable for everyone who is serious about developing their business profits.

Full of great "out of the box" ideas!

Bill Glazer is a master marketer and this book was more of a published swipe file of his work or GKIC clients. Worth having as a reference for sequential marketing campaigns.
