German Business Owner Builds Million-Dollar Business with ZERO Advertising Expenditure By Reading MARKETING WITHOUT MEGABUCKS: HOW TO SELL ANYTHING ON A SHOESTRING

NORTHAMPTON, MA, USA: It's not every day that a book makes someone a millionaire. Yet Georg Schlomka of Germany lays credit for his success on Shel Horowitz's book, Marketing Without Megabucks: How to Sell Anything on a Shoestring.

"Thank you for your wonderful book 'Marketing without Megabucks.' It is the single most profitable investment I've ever made. With its superb advice, I managed to build a small company turning over close to 1,000,000 US Dollars a year within 2 years and I have not spent a single penny on paid advertising! With our special computer-noise reduction products we have obtained front-page coverage with the most important German computer magazine, and have been featured in 13 other magazines and newspapers. We (rather the product) even have been featured twice on TV...

"Starting this year, we employ 5 people, and estimated turnover for the year is 1,400,000 US Dollars. Most helpful were the chapters on working the media, and on customer service/referrals. (20% of our new business comes from referrals.)"

--Georg Schlomka, A Conto GmbH, Germany aconto-nord@noisecontrol.de
