A reviewer

Fred Marks received an advanced copy of 'No B.S. Guide to Marketing to the Affluent' and this book is a lifesaver for those looking to target customers who are 'last and least affected' by economic downturns. This book is a must read if you like marketing, Dan Kennedy, or are just plain looking HOW to increase your average transaction size. Want more profits? Then Fred Marks says read Dan Kennedy's No B.S. Guide to Marketing to the Affluent'. Fred Marks gives this book a '10'!
