Full BRAIN Marketing for the small business

It's no longer just a right brain or a left brain world

Albuquerque, NM (Vocus) August 17, 2010

According to the new book, Full BRAIN Marketing—for the small business, small business owners should apply “full brain” - right brain (creative) + left brain (logical) - thinking to traditional, digital and social media marketing to grow their companies, persevere and stay on top in both good times and in bad times.

“It’s no longer just a right brain or a left brain world,” says author DJ Heckes, award-winning CEO of EXHIB-IT! Tradeshow Marketing Experts and former National Board member of the American Marketing Association. “Marketing has been revolutionized. Consumers are embracing change, doing their own online research about products and services, and adapting to new product offerings faster than ever. Full brain marketing works best for businesses today.”

Heckes takes readers through the marketing basics and beyond, so that they learn to position their companies appropriately, identify the right market(s), reduce marketing risks, and market more easily and successfully. Heckes provides entrepreneurs with a road map for success based on her own experience coupled with expertise gleaned over the years from her favorite marketing and management gurus including Seth Godin, Bob Berg, Jim Collins, Michael E. Gerber, Dale Carnegie, Allen Fishman, Zig Ziglar, and David Allen. Full Brain Marketing combines and encapsulates philosophy and real world practice to shorten the marketing learning curve for busy small business owners.

In addition to differentiating activities of left-brain and right-brain thinking, her book’s unique features include:

Right Brain Thinking

Five essential growth strategies in turbulent times
The “Three More Ps” of marketing: People, Process and Physical Evidence
An understanding of generational differences - in both customers and employees
Collaboration with and “trust-based” marketing to customers: brings extraordinary value to marketing exchanges and builds long-term relationships

Left Brain Thinking

Using metrics: track, test, and measure expenditures, performance and results in both on-line and off-line marketing campaigns

“In today’s hyper-competitive environment, it is more important than ever to be a thought leader in the marketplace and a visionary leader internally to confidently market one’s business,” Heckes says. “Business owners must rethink how to reach their target audiences, innovate – and innovate continuously – to have any reasonable chance of growth and continued success.”
