Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2006 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1.9, University of Lincoln (Faculty of Business & Law), course: Marketing & Advertising, language: English, abstract: Guerrilla (ge’rilə) marketing; an unconventional way of promotional marketing activities on a low-budget level. This aggressive marketing approach is characterised by creative and legal attacks targeted on competitors in order to maintain or increase awareness and impact to the customer. Guerrilla marketing stands for focusing on conventional goals such as profit or growth, but doing it by using exceptional promotional approaches, like advertising in yellow pages, wild postings or non-traditional outdoor advertising media vehicles. Customers are confronted with an increasing amount of advertising messages per day and therefore organisations have to develop advertising approaches to stand out in today’s media fragmentation. Especially small and medium-sized enterprises are having greater internal limitations regarding a restricted budget for marketing communications and facing bigger external uncertainties than large organisation. Thus, marketing campaigns have to become profitable for an enterprise. The low-cost communication effort is one of the major issues for guerrilla marketers. It is particular relevant for a small company to apply a differentiated set of promotional methods to diversify itself from competition, but guerrilla marketing is also becoming more adopted by large enterprises. This dissertation aims to give the reader a complementary insight of guerrilla marketing and investigates its relevance for a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) in terms of generating profit. The purpose of this study is to identify how relevant this approach is to guerrilla entrepreneurs in small organisations, regarding profitability and flexibility in respect of strategy execution. The first section of this dissertation is concerned with the literal meaning and theory of guerrilla marketing, and its suitability for small and medium-scaled organisations. The second part focuses on the conduction of the survey which has been carried out in order to underline this research with qualitative and quantitative findings. Those findings are visualised and analysed in part three. The fourth part of this research study forms the implications of findings part, in which the results will be evaluated regarding the relevance of guerrilla marketing to small companies. The conclusion of this dissertation combined with a comparison between theory and practice highlight the last section of this research study.

I've tried a million ways to get new customers but I don't get any real results. I just don't understand why it's so hard to grow my business." Thousands of entrepreneurs and small businesses suffer from not understanding their customers. They don't what they are doing right that causes customers to come to them. And, importantly, they don't know why customers choose to shop a competitor instead. Essentially, they lack a clear understanding of the needs of their customers and prospects which, if exploited, would assuredly grow their business. Often ego or downright stubbornness prevents entrepreneurs or small-business executives from using market research. They think they know the needs of their customers better than the customers themselves. Frequently, they feel that marketing research is too expensive, complex or just won't provide new answers. As such, they plough blindly ahead, wasting money on dull or meaningless advertising, promotion or sales events or introducing irrelevant new products or services. They fail to understand that a small expenditure on marketing research could point them in the right direction. Market research is not a black box. It is not just for big companies. It can be used effectively and economically by any business or entrepreneur seeking to maximize the opportunities for success and minimize the costs of failures. Essentially, Guerrilla Marketing Research provides the hands on tools so that small and mid-size businesses can use marketing research to ensure success and prevent imminently preventable failures. Here's What It's About: Guerrilla Marketing Research-Marketing Research Techniques That Will Make Any Business More Money Guerrilla Marketing Research trades off the well-know Guerrilla Marketing franchise. It explains how to use market research as tool for more effectively developing marketing, sales promotion or new product endeavors. Importantly, it illustrates how big companies use market research to make money and how small companies can do the same at a fraction of the cost. In doing so, it explains to small and mid-size companies and entrepreneurs, and even larger businesses that don't employ market research professionals, how marketing research can add to their bottom line.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guerrilla Marketers are unique, and they know it and promote it. Therefore, Jason Myers and Merrilee Kimble had to ask themselves: “How can we make this book unique?” After all, Guerrilla Marketing, since the original Guerrilla Marketing book was introduced by Jay Conrad Levinson in 1984, has supported and empowered entrepreneurs, small and medium sized businesses, solopreneurs, and people with ideas that they think can be a business. Where does it all begin? That’s a simple answer: with a strong foundation of Guerrilla Marketing. Jason and Merrilee spend the first section reviewing the strong foundational elements of Guerrilla Marketing and spend the remaining sections of Guerrilla Marketing sharing today’s Guerrilla Marketing tactics, tools, and tips. These are the Guerrilla Marketing resources that every business needs to succeed and generate profits. They also offer a FREE companion course to help entrepreneurs continue to build their rock-solid Guerrilla Marketing foundation. In the companion course, Jason and Merrilee dive deeper with video tutorials, exercises, and the tools entrepreneurs need to build that crucial foundation from which their Guerrilla Marketing success will be born. Guerrilla Marketing also contains 70+ free online tools for small businesses. Jason and Merrilee are continuing Jay Conrad Levison’s unconventional system of marketing. By understanding not only what marketing is but why it works, they give small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) the opportunity to think and grow big. When the power of one’s SMB is understood and what they can do with Guerrilla Marketing, it not only levels the playing field with competition, but it also tilts the playing field to their advantage.
