Successful Direct Marketing Methods

The new edition of Successful Direct Marketing Methods is the only reference I could imagine replacing my trusted and now dog-eared sixth edition. With all this new material, it is another major contribution to the industry.

Rarely does a new edition of a book meet our expectations. This one does and then some! Bob Stone and Ron Jacobs have given all of us from novice to seasoned practitioner the single most comprehensive and contemporary tool in direct marketing. It is rich in its coverage of the expanded direct marketing landscape. The examples are great and topical. I cant imagine anyone in direct marketing not finding it indispensable.

"Successful Direct Marketing Methods is without a doubt the most thorough, straightforward and informative book available on direct marketing. The insight, knowledge and experience shared by Bob Stone in the seventh edition of Successful Direct Marketing Methods is matched only by the progressive outlook of his coauthor Ron Jacobs. As the direct marketing industry continues to grow at such a rapid pace, it is essential we have one central resource to fall back upon which clearly states the defining principles, practices and applications of the direct marketing discipline. This book represents that one key resource for clients, agencies and students of direct marketing.
