Guerilla Marketing by Jay Conrad Levinson: One of the Best Marketing Books You'll Ever Read

-
Some of the best marketing strategies I've ever learned I've read in books. 

I've probably read over 150 sales and marketing books in my life, maybe more. When I say "best," I mean affordable, effective, understandable,and easy-to-implement marketing strategies that work and have been proven in action.

If you enjoy reading and want to pick up some low-cost yet very effective marketing tools you can start using right way, I suggest Guerilla Marketing by Jay Conrad Levinson.

This book is an all-time classic -- by far one of the top two or three marketing books I've ever read in terms of providing actionable marketing ideas than can be implemented quickly, cheaply, and easily to help you fill your camp with kids.

It's a treasure trove of marketing ideas that will help you learn how to out think and outsmart your competition rather than outspend them. 

Even if you've read this book before, it's worth reading again. You'll find applicable marketing tips and strategies you can use whether you're operating a traditional in-person program or you've moved your camp online this year.

Everything you'd ever want to learn about how to market your summer camp and more is in this book, from direct mail tips to referral marketing to internet marketing and so much more. I've read it 4 times and I'm about to read it again.

You can get it on Amazon for less than $2 used, and roughly $11 new. It's well worth the price. Going forward I will share additional sales and marketing books I've read over the years which I think you will find value in. But please get started with Guerilla Marketing -- it will pay off in spades.

I usually don't cave to fear but I confess the whole COVID-19 has been pretty scary.  But not from an, "I hope I don't catch the virus" standpoint -- I've never really been afraid of that. More frightening to me is the fact I can't operate my camp this summer due to the pandemic and the associated financial ramifications, many of which aren't even known to me yet. We Were Hopeful to Open Camp I was hopeful to operate in at least some capacity this summer. But given the modifications we'd need to make and virulent way coronavirus is tearing through L.A. County right now, it's highly unlikely (let alone advisable) to open camp this summer at all. From a financial standpoint, it's been a killer. I know many of you are facing your own struggles and hardships due to coronavirus. I hope everything works out for you. But as difficult as all of this has been (and continues to be!), we have to move forward. We owe it to our staff, campers, customer fami

    I hope you're healthy, safe and looking forward to the Holidays. What an incredible year it's been.  Even though many of us weren't able to run camp last summer, I'm hearing lots of optimism from camp directors (even amid the latest coronavirus surge) about reopening in 2021. I hope it happens. Meanwhile, more good news. Demand for camp is at an all-time high. But that doesn't mean you should stop marketing. From from it. The camps who put their best foot forward, marketing wise, will have a huge leg up on those who to sit back expecting to generate enrollment anyway.  The demand will be there, but camps that put themselves out in front of families stand to gain the most. Prospective campers will be there, but competition for them will be just as fierce if not more so than usual. Now is the time to get your marketing plan in place. Many of the marketing and advertising tools I use today, prior to practice into practice in the real world - I first read about in b
