In 2002, World of Books was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet, and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into a global pioneer, dedicated to helping people read more and waste less. Through the World of Books brand, customers can now buy and sell with us! We provide affordable, preloved books to book lovers all around the world, while also giving people the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet by trading in their unwanted books and media for cash. Through the B2B side of our business we've developed technology to help charities sell in bulk, meaning they can clear much needed floor space and make money for great causes at the same time. A new book will be sold once but their stories can be enjoyed by more than one owner. After all, a story doesn't change because it's been read before!

Reader reviews for Free Gift Inside!!: Forget the Customer. Develop Marketease

From the publisher

Free Gift Inside! offers an alternative solution to the difficulty of selling to an already sated and sophisticated consumer.
* Based on the article "Torment Your Customers (They'll Love It" which Harvard Busines Review chose as one of 2002's Six Breakthrough Ideas
* A new concept that turns marketing on its head and offers a more effective answer to customer relationship management and permission marketing

From the jacket flap

Customers? Customers Customers Don't talk to me about customers! I've had it up to here with customers. Haven't you?

Now, don't get me wrong. I have nothing against customers. Some of my best friends are customers. Customers are a good thing, by and large, provided they're kept well downwind. But there is a limit. They're starting to get uppity. They're beginning to think that they know best. I ask you. Who are these people?

Of course, we only have ourselves to blame, since marketers have been chanting the mantra of customer orientation for forty-odd years. It's time for a change. It's time to stop kow-towing. It's time to forget about customer focus. It's time to tantalize, tease and torment them, to play hard to get. It's time, in short, for Stephen Brown's Free Gift Inside!!

Marketing, he demonstrates, is not about customer-orientation. It is about selling stuff. It is about selling stuff to today's sated, sophisticated, super-skeptical consumers, who have an infinite number of near-identical offerings to choose from.

The aim is to make choosy consumers choose yours.

About the author

He is disdainful of customer-centric approaches to marketing and, as a consequence, has clashed publicly with numerous luminaries. Professor of Marketing Research at the University of Ulster, Stephen has held visiting positions at Northwestern University, the University of California and the University of Utah, among others. He has written or co-edited 13 books, including Marketing Apocalypse, Postmodern Marketing and Romancing the Market. His papers have been published in Harvard Business Review, Journal of Marketing, Journal of Advertising, Business Horizons and many more, winning various awards along the way.
