Title: The marketing plan handbook
Description: "Dishing bite-sized lessons, supported by in-chapter exercises and end-of-chapter actions, long-time marketing expert Robert W.

Whether embarking on a new venture or reviving a current business, business owners need this practical handbook for market success and survival"--
