Their humour borders on sarcasm when they mock false marketing theories.<br \/>\nTrout and Ries argue that promoting a product or service is above all a war, not an effort to satisfy client needs. That is why marketing is run on the principles formulated in the 19th century by the military commander Carl Clausewitz.<br \/>\nThe authors reveal the truth about what really causes big advertising budgets to be wasted. They describe 4 military strategies of marketing. They explain under which conditions each of them is chosen. They look at examples of marketing wars of well-known and small brands.<br \/>\n<strong>After going through the book you will be able to:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>spot the weaknesses of competitors and use them;<\/li>\n<li>create concepts for advertising campaigns depending on the chosen military strategy;<\/li>\n<li>position the brand on the market so as to cut the costs of an advertising campaign;<\/li>\n<li>take market share from the leaders;<\/li>\n<li>develop a slogan that raises sales by 26%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So?
