Product Description

The first and only guide to a subject of vital interest to every entrepreneur
Written by an author team that brings together the expertise of two leading Wharton academics and an entrepreneurial superstar, Entrepreneurial Marketing arms entrepreneurs with cutting–edge marketing approaches–including the latest Web–based segmentation and positioning techniques–that will provide their new ventures with solid foundations on which to build, grow, and thrive.
o The first book devoted exclusively to marketing strategies for new entrepreneurial ventures
o Covers cutting–edge strategies for finding, exploiting, and even creating powerful niche marketing opportunities for new ventures on the Internet


From the Inside Flap

More often than not, the reason for the success of a new venture isn’t technology–it’s marketing. Marketing plays a crucial role not only in developing, producing, and selling products or services but also in guiding recruiting efforts and raising capital. And yet, far too many ventures are begun without careful pre–venture marketing–which can prove to be a costly and often fatal mistake.

Combining the wisdom of successful entrepreneurs with Wharton business expertise, Entrepreneurial Marketing provides entrepreneurs with the marketing concepts, methods, tactics, and strategies that can reduce the failure rate of new ventures by as much as sixty percent. This is the first book to combine sophisticated marketing approaches–such as Web–based segmentation and positioning–with practical guidance on how to apply them in entrepreneurial situations.

The authors reveal how to identify and build successful business opportunities–including many in e–commerce–while taking into consideration the constraints of typical entrepreneurial firms, such as limited finances and manpower. Their experience with dozens of companies, as well as the results of their recent survey of Inc. 500 companies conducted with Inc. magazine (detailed here for the first time), lets them offer new insights into the types of marketing programs and distribution channels used in diverse business settings.

You’ll discover how adopting entrepreneurial marketing thinking will help you:

  • Answer the crucial "What am I selling to whom?" question through positioning and segmentation
  • Select, develop, and evaluate new products and services and set pricing to maximize profitability
  • Make the most efficient use of P.R. and publicity in launches and initial rollouts
  • Manage sales reps effectively and improve productivity
  • Tackle advertising decisions in tested, "non–traditional" ways
  • Hire and keep the best people
  • Raise the funds you need to succeed

The authors also include guerrilla techniques for viral and promotional marketing and creative, leveraged approaches to gaining visibility and name recognition on the Web. You’ll see how to make connections with customers, suppliers, investors, and even stakeholders, as well as learn proven ways to build a strong brand.

The book adeptly addresses the key challenges of the new millennium–such as globalization, corporate consolidation, and new governmental regulation–that you must consider when designing your marketing strategy.

Featuring real–world company examples, Entrepreneurial Marketing gives your entire business a sound core proposition to build on and shows you how to make the best use of your time, money, and effort in growing your business.
