I'm not interested in business or marketing so I will pass on this book. Great review, though!

It is interesting to learn these techniques from people who have been successful. Some strategies are familiar (keeping customers), while others are less familiar (creating scarcity). I enjoyed the way you touched on these different marketing points. You have piqued my interest. Great writing!

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting self-help book designed to help business owners grow their businesses. The author designed this book by utilizing the strategies of Mr. Walt Disney as his base. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

Good review. For those that are interested in business this sounds like a perfect read for you. Unfortunately this is not something I’m interested in.

Until I read your review, I was not even in the slightest interested in reading this book. I do not currently own a business but I know several people that do. I think they could be motivated by such a book, especially in the current climate. Looking forward to giving it a read just to educate myself a bit more. One can never pass up the opportunity to learn more.
Great review, thanks. :tiphat:

This sounds like a great book for marketing strategies – what better than to use Disneyland as an example?? It's also great that there were few errors. Thanks for the review.

I've always admired Walt Disney and the magic he put into his movies and theme parks. It would be interesting to learn the ideas he used in his business. Congratulations to the author for being chosen as BOTD. Thanks to the reviewer for your excellent review.

I've never really thought about how Walt Disney managed to build his empire, but can definitely see how tips and tricks from the successful enterprise could help many business owners.

A very easy to read and to the point official review. Being able to apply Walt Disney's successful marketing approach to small businesses is very interesting. Walt learned from his failures and went on to become an incredible success. Using marketing to grow his businesses differentiated him from his competition. Walt was one of a kind and a role model to follow. The review was very good and deserved a 4 out of 4 star rating. Only two errors found is amazing.

After reading the review, I thought for a second that it was indeed Andrew Lock who wrote the review. It detailed everything about the book and gave the book great raves.

This is an informative book for anyone wanting to run a business or those who already have one. I like the fact that the lessons in the book can be applied to small businesses despite having Disney, probably one of the biggest company in the world, as its model. Thanks for the review.
