When I was approached to read Craved for this blog tour, I thought, “this book could be JUST what I need right now. I have to take this opportunity!” I’m so glad I did. I thought I knew a thing or two about marketing, but the truth is, I have a lot to learn.

Marketing is not selling! Marketing should never be centered around you! Already shaking your head in disbelief? "Marketing is about attracting people to you..... Marketing is less about selling, and more about helping." PROFOUND statements. There are more in this book that may well make you do a 360 turn in the way you have been approaching your business.

CRAVED fell into my hands at the perfect moment. After 12 years as a writer/author, I was looking at changing things up to embrace new directions in marketing. I had already tried a few new ventures with great success and wanted to build on that. This and another book I read at the same time really helped ignite an excitement within for what I could accomplish over the next 12 months.

As a blogger/writer, I wish that I could have read Keli’s book years ago! I felt like I was sitting right beside her, discussing marketing over a cup of coffee. The book is more than educational – it’s eye-opening to a 360° view of marketing – inside and out. I found myself nodding my head at some of the marketing myths that I’ve believed to be true for years and have started carving out a new path with her guidance.

I’m a great believer in the saying, often attributed to, Gautam Buddha, ‘When the student is ready, the teacher will appear’. As I begin to set up The Frangipani Creative, I ‘receive’ books related to marketing, branding, etc. Craved is one of these books that magically came to me and I’m so glad it did. I could definitely do with some secret sauce to build my business.

I enjoyed this book from start to finish. It is extremely well written. Marketing has always confused me because it’s such a complex field, but this book makes it simple and very easy to apply. Tons of helpful tips, good stories, and variety in information. Keli is knowledgeable on the subject matter and it shows. I really like that it’s broken into four sections; that was a really great idea! It made it easy to follow and it kind of read like a story. If I had to pick a favorite chapter (which
