Product Description

Product Description
Al Ries and Jack Trout, two of the world's most successful marketing strategists, call upon over 40 years of marketing experise to identify the definitive rules that govern the world of marketing. Combining a wide-ranging historical overview with a keen eye for the future, the authors bring to light 22 superlative tools and innovative techniques for the international marketplace. The authors examine marketing campaigns that have succeeded and others that have failed, why good ideas didn't live up to expectations, and offer their own ideas on what would have worked better. The real-life examples, commonsense suggestions and killer instincts contained are nothing less than rules by which companies will flourish or fail.

About the Author
Jack Trout runs a marketing consulting firm in Greenwich, Connecticut with Al Ries. They are the authors of the bestsellers Positioning, Marketing Warfare, Bottom-Up Marketing and Focus.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you only ever read one book on marketing. Read this one, 19 Feb 2006
By C. C. Brown (Worksop, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Even Einstein said "if you can't explain it simply, then you don't understand it". This book is the simplest explaination of what really matters in marketing and while you can read the most complex detailed marketing texts in the world, if you read this book in 30minutes you know most of what you need to know. If you are in marketing, this book is invaluable - if you ever need to present to a non-marketing audience, your presentation is already written for you, or better still give copies of it to your team or your colleagues. If you are not in marketing, read this book for invaluable and straight to the point insight.

3.0 out of 5 stars Needs to be updated, 24 Nov 2004
This review is from: The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing (Paperback)
I found this book very interesting and really easy to read, but the examples need updating. Things have changed a bit in the last 11 years (this book was written in 1993) and reading things like "Microsoft is the leader in personal computer operating systems, but it trails the leaders in each of the following major categories: spreadsheets (Lotus), word processing (WordPerfect) and business graphics (Harvard graphics)" can't fail to put a smile on your face. I think that the laws still hold true though. One more thing: the book has been written by Americans for Americans and certain brands mentioned in it are not well known in Europe, if at all. It's still worth reading, in my opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Common Sense is What Marketing is All About, 14 Jul 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing (Paperback)
This book is very simple and easy to read and very clearly lists 22 laws which have made many brands successful in this past century. This is not text-book marketing , it is observational marketing which is really the essence of our profession. Marketing will never be a science; because we deal with a variable that is totally unpredicatable, completely insatiable and everchanging - I am talking of the human mind. Marketing is also not an Art. Marketing is a discipline of observation and execution that requires a mixture of a solid scientific and a dreamy artistic mind.
