Good book for the Outer Banks area........2000-05-16

The first third of this Sierra Club book was put to use on our Outer Banks vacation. This is a good book that covers every part of the coast, not just the barrier islands. I liked the historical and cultural background presented on each area. I expected there to be a great deal of information on the local flora and fauna since it is a Sierra Club book, and there was. It provides a wonderful listing of birds and animals to keep your eyes out for. There are also good explanations of the geology behind the coast in the introduction. I would have liked a little more information about each area (there is no info on lodging, food, etc.) and some of it was outdated. The book is appealing because it covers the entire southeastern coast, so I know I will use it in the future!

Review of Library Fundraising: Models for Success.......2000-05-31

This book is a useful fundraising resource for librarians, fundraisers, students, and volunteers. Any person needing basic information about library fundraising would find this book helpful. This book contains case studies that point out library trends in alternative funding and illustrate some successful fundraising campaigns used by a variety of academic and public libraries to raise needed resources. Fundraising activities that this book addresses include: annual programs, special events, capital campaigns, developing endowments and foundations, and challenge grants. These case studies are important to librarians because they point out both the successes and failures that have transpired with actual real-life fundraising endeavors. The chapter entitled "A Capital Campaign for a Small Public Library" is particularly valuable as it discusses five steps that are essential to any successful fundraising campaign and explains how to know if you need the help of a professional fundraiser. It also explains how to select a chairperson for the fundraising committee and provides a job description fo this position. The chapter also provides a list of four reasons why this capital campaign was successful. The book points out the importance of fundrasing for libraries and details ways to obtain information on the topic. The book contains a bibliography which could be used to locate additional readings on fundraising. This book is recommended for individuals needing information on library development programs.

A good resource for library development staff-.......2000-05-28

Burlingame makes good use of actual case studies to illustrate successful library fundraising strategies employed in a variety of library settings. Challenge grants, endowments, foundations, fundraising campaigns, and trusts are discussed in relation to small college, public, and university libraries. One of the most valuable topics is the detailed discussion regarding project planning, definition of need, budget issues, and marketing. An updated edition of the book would be useful, with greater emphasis upon grant funds and proposal writing.

Book Description

How do you launch a product in today's ultra-competitive and often saturated markets, break through the clutter, and develop strong and lasting customer loyalty? Get in touch with your customers' deepest emotions, of course.
Emotional Branding teaches you the how's and why's of, "How does our product or service make our customers feel?" Author Daryl Travis (with a little help from Harry) leads you on a journey filled with colorful ideas and bottom-line lessons that will teach you how to instill brand loyalty in your customers. Whether you are a CEO, an advertising guru, or an innovative businessperson, you will discover how to use a brand's mystique to create powerful and lasting emotional connections with your customers. Travis also addresses:
·Branding as a product of intuitive thinking
·How people develop emotional responses to brands
·Bringing together a company's elements to form a brand
·Developing successful offshoot brands from existing ones
·And much more!
Emotional Branding teaches you how to identify and empower your product's appeal and connect it to your customers' experiences with your product. The results unlock the secrets to emotional branding, enhance the brand-consumer relationship, and show you and your business new prosperity—all from discovering and applying these powerful new ways to use the "F" word, F-E-E-L-I-N-G-S.
"Today's marketplace confusion can only be sorted out one way: by brand power. Daryl Travis's Emotional Branding sings, a book to savor and ponder. And, if approached in the right spirit, a book to change your worldview and renovate your bottom line. Hint: It's for finance and human resource folks as much as for marketers, as much for three-person architectural studios as for Virgin or GE execs." —Tom Peters, coauthor of In Search of Excellence
"Every CEO's job is to create value and build assets, and every company's most formidable asset is its brand. Daryl's book is an important reminder that brands must be protected and nurtured. Read it, take it to heart, and expect some amazing things to happen in your business." —James Berrien, president of Forbes magazine
"I've been in the business of building global brands for more than 25 years, and I've yet to read a better account of what it takes to make a brand. Apply all the analytics you want to a great company or brand and in the end you'll find it comes down to how people feel about it. This book reveals why." —Thomas Oliver, CEO of Bass Hotels & Resorts, former executive VP of marketing, FedEx

The ESSENSE Of Branding..........2001-12-18

Emotional Branding hits the bullseye on what true branding is all about...what promises do you make to your customers? what values do your company live by? and how do your truly serve your customers? Without this foundation, a brand is built on quicksand.

This book cuts through the fluff of superficial advertising, logos and corporate images and authentically connects a company's beliefs and behaviors to its customers. I loved it!

Well structured look at the logic of brands.......2001-08-26

This was one of many brand books I read this year, and I his narrative style made this a quick read. Mr. Travis used an imaginary 'cohost' to illustrate the logic and lack of logic used in branding. The basic case studies and stories were right on target with good branding best practices. I think Mr. Travis could focus on additional case studies for a future book as that area is where his skills are best used. I would have enjoyed seeing more on peripheral brands and industries, and I think a follow up could cover this. All in all, a good, readable branding book.

Nothing New.......2001-07-25

This is a rehash of everything you've read in every other book about advertising. And, in an affront greater than that of a motion picture company citing reviews from an imaginary critic, ...

speaking fom the right side of my brain..........2001-01-03

As the glut of companies rises to a feverish pitch, all vying for attention with the same dull messages for e-commerce ranking,this book comes as a welcome relief.Very few books focus on what truly motivates the consumer to take action. Many of them offer quantifiable analysis which although helpful, still leaves a void.It might be tempting to dismiss Emotional Branding as much fluff but a closer look would reveal considerable substance.Written in a light hearted prose it delivers the central question: How does it make you feel? This at once causes the reader to ponder the effect of all of our suppositions and disarm many of them.This part of the equation needs to be addressed more extensively by Internet marketers.If brand building on the Internet is truly about creating lasting,long-term relationships, then appealing to the emotional side is essential for our messages to be heard in the transparent world of cyberspace.

It's Almost Everything.......2000-12-14

Emotional Branding is many things, but it's not everything. It's not boring. It's not without insight. It's not heavy (weight-wise, that is). It doesn't even give you the impression that you're trudging through another business book. It's definitely not disappointing.

Daryl Travis spins his anecdotes about successful - and not so successful - brands and his encounters with Harry into a web of inspiring lessons that teaches you how to win and keep customers. He shows you how brand promises can soar as high as a hot-air balloon, or sit idle on the tarmac like a broke-down plane. If you're a marketing professional, picking up and sharing any number of Travis's examples with your clients will strengthen your pitch and make you look smart. And if looking smart and being successful are important to you, you really ought to read Emotional Branding.

Emotional Branding is exciting. It's insightful. It's practical. It's deep in a fun way. It's an easy read. It makes you feel good. It's worth every minute you spend learning from it.
