Best marketing Books for your business
Here are my suggestions for the best marketing books that I believe every business owner should read. Especially if you are just getting started.
I’m a bookworm- through and through. Fiction or non-fiction, I plow through them all. I’ve read a few marketing books that aren’t bad, but you won’t find them on this list. These are the books that I find myself recommending again and again and going back to re-read over and over again myself.
These aren’t all just about marketing. Some of them are just about starting a business, but most of them come back to advertising and marketing. Enjoy!
