Marketing Essentials

This book is written in a very structured format. The repetitive structure of the lessons is classic and becomes easy to read after a couple of chapters. It includes interesting sidebars on people in not just marketing-related careers, but a wide range of product-related occupations, including enterpreneurs and business owners. It breaks up the lessons nicely.

Lois Farese is quite simply one of the greatest entrepreneurial educators I have ever had the privilege of studying under. Mrs. Farese introduced me to `Marketing Essentials' when I took her Marketing I & II high school classes, and she inspired the slacker in me to become a DECA (http://www.deca.org) state finalist. Learning from this book gave me a tremendous advantage when I continued studying business at Babson College, and the lessons I learned from it have been applied countless times in several years of entrepreneurial practice since!

Lois Farese, is not only an excellent educator but also a great writer. This book not only teaches students the basics of Marketing but I'll bet that even Marketing big wigs could learn a thing or two from the book....try it I think that you'll like it. Oh by the way I want to say "Hi" to Mrs. Farese and thank her for assigning this book when I took her class
