Product Description
How can a small business ever hope to compete with a large corporation?
Like the mythical battle where David took down Goliath, the author provides small business owners with very practical weapons they need to effectively compete with big business.
No matter what your familiarity with the subject, Geskey provides a comprehensive study presented in simple layman’s terms into how small business owners can increase their Share of Market by increasing their “Share of Voice” (share of marketing messages in a market area) without spending an additional dime in advertising/marketing.
Share of Voice can be increased by increasing the cost efficiency and effectiveness of media by 50-200% or more. David vs. Goliath shows readers how to do just that step by step and by using templates and worksheets to actually learn “how to.”
The Magic of Share of Voice
David vs. Goliath teaches small business owners how to compete with much larger businesses by planning and negotiating media (in the broad sense) in focused, innovative, and smarter ways– which can double or triple a business’ marketing exposure in a particular location and time.
Research has shown that an increase in Share of Voice is highly correlated to an increase in Share of Market.
There are two ways to increase Share of Voice: 1) spend more/increase your budget, or 2) spend the money you have more efficiently and effectively. This book teaches you how to do the latter.
