In this brief ebook, she describes 12 no-harm marketing principles, which include discouraging buyers whose needs won't be met by the product, rejecting manipulative practices and sneaky return-discouraging tricks, marketing through positive benefit rather than fear or other negative emotions--and building personal customer/client relationships based on mutual trust. And of course, being scrupulously honest in your copy and all your client interactions. She ends with a simple but brilliant 8-point checklist: if you can answer yes to the first four questions and no to the last four, chances are you're good to go. All in all, reading time well spent." - Shel Horowitz, primary author of Guerrilla Marketing to Heal the World and a long-time advocate of success through business ethics"Marketing and Ethics are usually two words it's hard to find in the same sentence. And when you stumble upon them in a title of a book, that means that the author is both very brave and very, very expert.

There's so much to learn, to think about and to reflect on in it." - Giorgio La Rocca, Senior Copywriter at BTS adv. Turin, Italy
