A new book, "David vs. Goliath," shows small business owners (even large business owners) how to increase sales, market share, and profitability-- without spending an extra dime on marketing and advertising and without reinventing the whole business.

Rochester, MI -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/12/2007 -- Need to ramp up sales and profits for the holiday season and the new year--2008? If you are the owner of a small business, chances are you will have to steal that business from larger companies who sell to customers in your marketing area.

How can a small business ever hope to compete with a large corporation?

Like the mythical battle where David took down the giant Goliath, Ronald D. Geskey Sr. provides small business owners with the weapons they need to effectively compete with big business.

The Power of Share of Voice

No matter what your level of marketing expertise, Geskey provides a comprehensive step by step plan presented in simple layman’s terms explaining how small business owners can increase their Share of Market by increasing their Share of Voice (marketing messages in their primary marketing area).

There are two ways to increase share of voice, says Geskey: increase your budget and spend more-- or increase the efficiency and effectiveness of your media spending by 50 -200% or more without increasing your spending-- which should generate more says at a higher profit margin. That's what "David vs. Goliath" is about.
