Big Brand Theory Applied to Small Business Challenges in New Book from Master Marketer, Jim Joseph










Cupertino, CA (PRWEB) March 07, 2012

Today, HappyAbout announces the release of Jim Joseph’s newest book The Experience Effect for Small Business, a follow-up to his award-winning first book released in May 2010. In that groundbreaking edition, The Experience Effect, marketing master Mr. Joseph delivered a critically acclaimed, straightforward volume of marketing advice that showed big business how to build the ultimate brand experience to create consumer loyalty. Now, he takes that big brand theory and applies it to the backbone of the American economy, small business, in The Experience Effect for Small Business.

While it is often said that small business is the key to our economic recovery, many are still suffering in the continued challenging environment. Small businesses simply cannot afford the same resources or access to big brand thinking as the large corporations. Jim believes that there’s no reason a small business can’t perform like a big brand, which makes this new book a timely must-read for small and medium sized businesses.

As Jim says, “It’s the experience that turns an ordinary product into a beloved brand. When all of the marketing elements come together in a cohesive and seamless way that adds value, a loyal customer is born.” Jim calls this “the experience effect.”

Filled with practical advice and real-life examples that will resonate with readers, The Experience Effect For Small Business teaches small business owners how to understand their target audience, conduct effective market research, craft a unique positioning, connect with customers on an emotional level, build efficient touch points, and ultimately build a successful brand. Readers will learn how to replicate the success of big brands with limited budgets and with few resources. Loaded with inspiration, Jim’s book will strike a chord with many small business owners in today’s turbulent economy.

As Jim says on his daily blog at JimJosephExp.com, “Marketing is a spectator sport, so let’s all learn from each other.”

TurboTax asks you if you’ve worked in any other state. And I’m sure professional tax people would be able to take care of this for you too.
