Beschreibung
The term "branding" encourages the idea that brands can be created through decisive communication. This assumption leads to an enormous waste of marketing resources. But what are the alternatives to branding? This book focuses on what really matters to the marketing professional: motivating new customers to buy and ensuring they will buy again. This is achieved by using a marketing approach based on the buying process. This approach shows where communication is still effective, reveals key points along the way and demonstrates how to reach people so the buying process moves forward and ends with a purchase. Now available for the first time in English!

The book is also an exciting read, loaded with practical examples and evidence, and makes intriguing arguments."Dr. Christian Belz, professor of marketing, University of St. Gallen "The exciting thing about this book is how it brings to life the buying process and the various influences on the consumer while you read it."Harvard Business Manager
