Business Plans Kit For Dummies Ebook

While Business Plans For Dummies covers the strategy of putting a business plan together, Business Plans Kit For Dummies covers how to put a business plan to work! This kit covers business plans for every stage (and every type) of business: e-business, sole proprietorships, small businesses, service companies, high-tech companies, non-profits -- even business plans for middle managers and restructuring a company. It emphasizes methods for obtaining funding and sources to tap for capital, and explains how to formulate business plans according to the planned business model -- bricks-and-mortar vs. e-business. It also includes updated terminology and jargon from the business planning and venture capital industries, and shows you how to gear specific plans for businesses in different phases of development (i.e., startup, expansion, etc.).

Nicholas Coleridge, Managing Director, Conde Nast "Explores the popularization of fashion and explains how marketers and branding experts have turned clothes and accessories into objects of desire. The 'back story' of where goods come from and how they are manufactured and sold is always fascinating, which is why Tungate's book so appealed."

In-Store Magazine "Dissects the fashion industry from high street to haute couture and gives a detailed history of fashion brands as well as explaining the influence of branding."

But Tungate brings all of these subjects, all of these themes, and all of these prominent fashion brands together for a picture of the system of which they are all a part. With his broader perspective, he also gives a global perspective not limited to the vibrant, shop-til-you-drop, U.S. market and its advanced ideology of consumerism where many of the "branding" ideas and techniques originated, but including also European and Asian markets." The Midwest Book Review "Explores the popularization of fashion and explains how marketers and branding have turned clothes and accessories into objects of desire." www.brandrepublic.com "Interesting things to say about the effects of the global marketplace on fashion brands." Drapers " Will appeal to fashion students and those with an interest in the business side of the fashion world." Sew Today

FREE EBOOK- Branded Male: Email Marketing to Men





Branded Male: Marketing to Men


According to Tungate (Fashion Brands), while women see shopping as a leisure activity, men consider it a dull necessity—making them hard targets for eager advertisers. Citing changing historical ideals of masculinity, from the scruffy cowboy to the metrosexual, Tungate describes how men typically engage with brands, using the course of a typical day as framework—from grooming to clothing, car and sex. Male consumer patterns are rapidly changing; sales of grooming products for men in Europe and the U.S. are estimated to jump significantly in the next few years, from $31.6 billion in 2003 to $40 billion in 2010, and the Branded Toolkit wrap-ups at the end of each chapter offer tips for marketing products from alcohol to hotels to these increasingly keen shoppers, paying close attention to the factors that tend to attract men: functionality, authenticity, status and cool. Tungate can't quite decide if he wants to be writing a sociological study or a guide for marketing professionals; he muses at length about the histories of male habits and social behavior, but deviates fleetingly, and almost as an afterthought, into individual branding strategies from companies like Ikea and Dunhill. The book displays useful information, but its absurdly high price and concentration on specifically British consumers might make this a tough sell to the very audience Tungate is trying to reach.

Brand Warfare-10 Rules for Building the Killer Brand
 
In this short, concise work, D'Alessandro, CEO of the John Hancock insurance group, entertainingly hammers home the importance of creating and maintaining a brand. In his view, a brand is whatever image a customer conjures up upon hearing a company's name, so everything from the firm's labor practices to its product and advertising must be taken into account. To make his points, D'Alessandro draws heavily on his former career in advertising and public relations. On having Orville Redenbacher as a client: "We literally thought he was insane." But in the end, he says, "Orville taught me...the power of a good brand to trump all rhyme or reason in the marketplace." From a consumer's point of view, brands save time, project a certain image to the rest of the world and make one feel part of the group that uses the brand. He discusses the steps to building a brand, consistently emphasizing that, if it is to resonate, the brand must have one simple image. D'Alessandro doesn't break much new ground here, but he succeeds at reminding everyone from the CEO to the people on the assembly line that their company's brand is its most crucial asset. Practical, psychologically astute and clearly written, this book has much to offer businessfolk of all stripes. (May 1)Forecast: A $500,000 advertising and publicity campaign, national radio and television interviews, a six-city author tour and D'Alessandro's savvy advice and irreverent humor will get the 100,000-copy first printing moving in no time.
