Preface of Marketing for Young Entrepreneurs eBook

Marketing has so many applications to the day-to-day functions of today’s 21st century citizen. It certainly catches my attention. I am always seeking ways to become a better instructor to my students. In fact, this book evolved from a course given at Knoxville College called Introduction to Entrepreneurship. At the time, I had students developing their own business ventures. I later followed up with a Marketing Management course the following semester. Clearly, it is easier to create a holistic approach to teaching these courses than blinding following an institution’s template. How does an individual create innovation by blinding maintaining the status quo? I am always searching for ways to improve my clients’ needs by providing innovation and creativity. This requires that I don’t get too comfortable with the status quo. I am constantly reading, reviewing, and analyzing social and economic trends that are taking place locally as well as globally. In fact, I feel that entrepreneurs may help solve some social ills by giving individuals opportunities. Personally, I feel God has a special calling for each of us. If we fail to reach our potential in life, we are not just failing ourselves, we are failing God. Why wait on others to give you your happiness? There is no guarantee that it will happen. Therefore, I encourage people to take charge of their lives.

Introduction of Marketing for Young Entrepreneurs eBook

You have a great idea. You rush to develop it and get it out to your customers. You feel it’s a sure winner. Therefore, you empty out your savings account and spend it on expensive TV and magazine ads. Unfortunately, your advertising campaign gives your marginal success. Suddenly, you’re broke, frustrated, and dejected. No one told you that getting people to buy was that difficult. You ponder what went wrong with your great product.

Successful entrepreneurs find unmet needs and capitalize on opportunities. With the rapid pace of technology and increasing access to information, the world is a land of opportunities for those who have the knowledge. Unfortunately, many do not know how to begin. Learning about marketing is the answer. Marketing means understanding your customer in an intimate way and satisfying their immediate needs. For example, I was riding the Metro subway in Washington, DC and got off at the end of the line. The location was in a depressed area and there was little there for the commuter. As I waited for my ride, I saw these two boys carrying a huge box of M&Ms in hopes of selling to weary commuters. I found it amusing that these young men were hustling in such a manner. Yet, this is the spirit of an entrepreneur. They had found an unmet need in the market.

Yes, with no stores located in the immediate area, these young men sold a lot of M&Ms to hungry commuters. As a professor at a small college, business students often ask me how to grow a business venture. In fact, I must go beyond what the textbook states to relate to these young entrepreneurs. In this scenario, I must translate marketing theory into relevant, practical insight that can be implemented by practitioners. Clearly, marketing gives individuals the ability to understand how to locate these opportunities and what to do when you find them. Sadly, most business owners do not have the time to take a long drawn-out college course, while others want a simple process for understanding the basic concepts until they can take more formalized courses. In fact, when you don’t have a lot of money to spend on advertising your product, you have to be smarter and more creative in order to stay ahead of the competition.

Marketing for Entrepreneurs provides individuals with a proven method of marketing—an easy, cost-effective way to gain influence with others. It provides strategies, practical guidelines, resources, and a host of suggestions help you with your business goals. This book is designed for young entrepreneurs but can help seasoned entrepreneurs, newbies, college students, managers, executives, academics, and others with a desire to grow their business dreams. This entrepreneurial marketing model is built on a few basic ingredients that can guarantee you being a success. Being a successful entrepreneur can help you achieve greater status, monetary rewards, promotions, speaking engagements, and new business opportunities.
