130 more pages to go - dull reading - does not make me excited about marketing...might as well read a dictionary and memorize all the terminology.

[Madison · Rating 2 out of 5]

Read for class- definitely have read worse textbooks. I could tell a lot of effort went into trying to make it engaging.

[David · Rating 5 out of 5]

A low level textbook for marketing studies, this book is an excellent primer to the basic concepts of consumer behaviour.
