Product Description

Product Description
Whether it is the TV commercial that breaks into our favourite programme or the telemarketing phone call that disrupts a family meal, traditional advertising is based on the hope of snaring our attention away from whatever we are doing. Seth Godin calls this Interruption Marketing, and, as companies are discovering, it no longer works. Instead of annoying potential customers by interrupting their most coveted commodity, time, Permission Marketing offers consumers incentives to voluntarily accept advertising. Now the Internet pioneer who has dramatically improved marketing effectiveness in media introduces a fundamentally different way of thinking about advertising products and services. By reaching out to only those individuals who have expressed an interest in learning more about a product, Permission Marketing enables companies to develop long-term relationships with customers, create trust, build brand awareness, and greatly improve the chances of making a sale.

About the Author
Seth Godin was founder and CEO of Yoyodyne, the leading interactive marketing company, which Yahoo! acquired in 1998. He was Vice President of Direct Marketing at Yahoo! until he left to lecture full time. He is the author of several bestselling books including the classic PERMISSION MARKETING, SURVIVAL IS NOT ENOUGH, UNLEASHING THE IDEA VIRUS, PURPLE COW and ALL MARKETERS ARE LIARS.

1.0 out of 5 stars I haven't finished it yet but..., 20 April 2007
...it has been a very disappointing purchase so far. The preface announces that, although it was first written in 1999, the author decided not to update it for 2007. At all. There are reasons given but, unfortunately, the result is a very dated read, which doesn't take into account the massive changes that have taken place in the intervening years.

The other major problem, as a reviewer of an earlier edition points out, is repetition. The author says the same thing over and over and over again. Whatever the intention is, the effect is poor. As with many book like this, you feel the idea is really only enogh to justify an aticle in a journal, and not a whole book.

I can't see myself ploughing on until the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes you really think...., 25 Jul 2007
I confess I am a Godin fan and am therefore biased. I think this may be the best of his books to date, and despite the timing of some of the original content it is every bit as relevant today as when it was written.
For anyone who works in B to B sales or professional services, there are some crucial lessons from this book. In particlar it has convinced us that we cannot attract business with an excuse of a website, and that we must rethink every aspects of the sales process to engage with customers. And guess what - it works!

5.0 out of 5 stars Seth is always great, 11 April 2009
By J. Scudamore "Koolio Xavier" (Manchester) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It amazes me that people like Dan Kennedy and Seth Godin are in the world and their books have been published for years. Yet businesses still fail because their advice is either not read or read and ignored as nice theory, these guys are not scientists this is not theory, Seth Godin is the freshest thinking business author around. Don't bother getting this book cos you won't follow what is in it anyway. Go find an easy one time fix.
