New York, NY (PRWEB) November 17, 2008 -- Businesses with fewer than 500 employees represent 99.9 percent of the 27.2 million businesses in America.(1) And businesses with fewer than 20 employees are 65% of the companies in America.(2) These are the companies that will have save the United States from a long recession. To do this they will have to increase sales. The new book, The Perfection of Marketing, is the first of its kind to provide a complete marketing playbook for small and midsized businesses.

"This book is all the best practices of marketing in three simple steps," said James Connor, author of The Perfection of Marketing. Every small and midsized business should be using these marketing techniques to prevent wasting marketing dollars. I feel good about revealing our most successful methods in these challenging economic times to help grow the economy."

James Connor has crafted a surprisingly efficient process based on what he calls the Sales Moment to create a method anyone can implement for spectacular marketing ROI. Culminating from 12 years of work, The Perfection of Marketing reveals the detailed playbook run by The James Group, a successful branding and full-service advertising agency in New York City, which has made more money for 95% of their clients.

This is the debut work from James Connor, the CEO of The James Group, who honed The Perfection of Marketing process while overseeing the creation of over 70 brands, including category leaders GarageTek, Thinkfun, TransparentValue, and WQIS (The Water Quality Insurance Syndicate). Add to it insights on how the human mind works gained from years of study and daily meditation of ancient Buddhist texts and the result is a groundbreaking business book called The Perfection of Marketing.

The release of the Perfection of Marketing is especially timely in this recession, as there are over six independent research studies (including the McGraw-Hill Research study) that confirm companies that maintain marketing budgets during a recession, grow an average of 2.5 times their competitors, not only during the recession, but in the three years that follow a recession.

The Perfection of Marketing retails for $24.95 and is available January 9, 2009 through Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
