Excellent.......2001-10-29
It tackles the various topics in sports marketing with great clarity and all the chapters integrate seamlessly. It explains concepts with good, clear everday sport examples.
A well structured approach to the subject........1999-02-17
Shanks has produced a solid undergraduate text. It has many examples and is well supported by case and discussion material. Also, the book makes good use of the Internet as a support medium. I am not aware of whether or not an instructors package is available. If not, that is a failing.

Book Description
Sports are a multibillion-dollar global business that will continue to grow by leaps and bounds into the foreseeable future. The bad news is: It's never been harder to attract, engage, and retain the sports fan.
Today's sports fans are bombarded by choices. Traditional sports, such as baseball, football, and basketball, compete for fans' dollars with snowboarding, lacrosse, poker…even paintball. The old business formulas, developed in the age of three TV networks and creaky stadiums, no longer apply.
World-renowned communication expert Irving Rein, international marketing guru Philip Kotler, and communication specialist Ben Shields deliver an innovative new business model centered squarely on fan satisfaction and retention. They give you the tools to transform your sports product into an enduring brand-immune to the vagaries of winning and losing-that quickly adapts to changing market conditions. Along the way they illustrate their points with fascinating case studies, including
- Manchester United's transformation from a plucky home team to a billion-dollar international franchise
- Professional golf phenomenon Michelle Wie's quest to maximize her talents and marketability
- Southlake Carroll High School football team's benchmarking of professional and college football programs to build its own brand
- Daytona International Speedway's reinvention of fan intimacy
Combining expert analysis with field-tested strategies for winning hearts and minds, The Elusive Fan is your guide to surviving and thriving in today's ever-widening world of sports.

Not Just for Sports .......2007-03-16
Although the Elusive Fan is written for sports marketing and managers in mind, the concepts are equally applicable to other entities which depend upon their members for loyalty and financial support. Like sports, the arts are facing new competition and are also a marketplace for people with only a limited amount of time and money. My husband works for a non profit art foundation and the marketing ideas presented in the book apply to that type of entity just the same as to the sports groups. One of his responsibilities is increasing interest in art among different community groups. He found the marketing information very useful and has implemented some of the suggestions. For example, he has applied the author's recommendations for engaging the youth market and expanded the youth art camp at the foundation, hopefully developing loyalty and a lifelong interest in art for students (and their parents). The book offers lots of ideas for attracting fans/members and developing a thorough brand-building framework, often using real world case studies. I definitely recommend this book to anyone in an industry which needs to attract and keep their fans/members.
The concepts span beyond sports.......2007-02-08
The Elusive Fan may be about sports, but the principles and strategies the authors discuss can be applied to any sector in the world of business. I am in the film and entertainment industry and have benefited greatly from the innovative concepts The Elusive Fan develops. I particularly liked chapter three on how fans connect, which details the critical connection points that encourage fans to choose one product over another. The book's branding focus has also helped me refine my segmentation strategies and develop a marketing plan. I wouldn't call myself a sports fan, but reading how competitive the sports industry has become -- and what the authors recommend to attract and engage fans -- gave me insight into how to market my own products and brand. Whether it's sports, film, or insurance, we're all searching for our Elusive Fans, and Rein, Kotler, and Shields have the definitive guide on how to capture them.
"The Elusive Fan" Won't Have Any Trouble Captivating a Wide Audience.......2006-07-26
Rein, Shields and Kotler manage to score effortlessly in this fascinating look behind the scenes of sports marketing. In the electronic age, consumers are bombarded by so many choices, retaining fans is an immense and expensive challenge. The ultimate arena, in which sports and teams compete for market share, advertising dollars, ticket revenue and television proceeds is a diffcult place to compete with old business models and antiquated ideas.
The dynamic answer to the daunting challenges posed by today's marketplace is provided by communications scholars Irving Rein and Ben Shields and renowned marketing guru Philip Kotler. This book provides a new understanding how the sports marketing world works, how teams can capture a larger share that market by adhering to new fan-based management philosophies.
This book is the rare subject to transcend the boundries between the worlds of sports and marketing. Any serious sports fan will be enthralled by the fascinating case studies and behind-the-scenes look at professional athletics. Industry insiders, marketers, advertisers and communications specialists will be equally glad to have read this ground-breaking book. Well regarded markerting and communications experts, Rein and Kotler bring experience and flare to the "Elusive Fan" and are matched perfectly as writing partners with the young and rising-star communications specialist Ben Shields.
Buy this book and peek behind the curtain at what makes the most exciting industry in the world as thrilling as it is and how the all-important fan fits into it all.
How to prosper in a "competitive and fragmented marketplace" .......2006-07-20
Competition for disposal income spent on recreation and entertainment is probably more intense now than it has ever been before. On any given day, we have so many choices and all of them have direct or indirect costs. This is especially true of sporting events, many of which are televised. The title of this book refers to someone whose financial support is increasingly more difficult to attract and then sustain. According to Rein, Kotler, and Shields, "All sports need to be constantly adapting and if necessary changing to accommodate a competitive and fragmented marketplace." Their book suggests how to achieve that objective by adopting and implementing a "strategic approach that emphasizes fan connection, innovative segmentation, brand-building, and sustaining market share."
In essence, marketing either creates or increases demand for whatever is offered. With regard to the sports industry (at all levels from local youth and school teams to professional leagues and international competition such as the Olympics), the authors assert that those responsible for marketing must reinvent their thinking in terms of athletes, teams, leagues , and events in order to differentiate them from competition which, yes, includes the option to commit no hours and dollars whatsoever. Instead of buying a ticket to a baseball game, for example, and probably purchase food, beverages, and merchandise while attending it, why not stay home and watch the same game on television? Or instead watch another television program or DVD? Or read a book such as The Elusive Fan? Or go for a walk in the woods?
In this volume, Rein, Kotler, and Shields address questions such as these:
1. How to connect with "the elusive fan"?
2. How to reinvent a sports brand?
3. How to generate the transformation of that brand?
4. How to implement the brand's transformation?
5. How to communicate the brand effectively?
6. How to sustain the fan connection with the brand?
7. Which sports branding initiatives have been most successful?
8. What lessons can be learned from them?
9. What is the future of "fan connection"?
10. How to respond effectively to "the most elusive fans who are just now being born"?
This brilliant book will be of substantial value to decision-makers in the sports industry who must decide how to market what they offer to an increasingly more crowded marketplace but I presume to suggest that it will also be of great interest and value to others who also struggle to understand -- and then respond effectively to -- the increasingly more "elusive" consumers within those decision-makers' marketplace.
I especially appreciate the fact that Rein, Kotler, and Shields devote relatively little attention to theories, hypotheses, etc. and spend most of their time rigorously examining real-world examples of those organizations which have achieved marketing success by initiating and then sustaining the aforementioned "strategic approach that emphasizes fan connection, innovative segmentation, brand-building, and sustaining market share." They are a commendably diverse selection of effectively marketed sports brands (both individuals and organizations) and include the Kentucky Derby, Maria Sharapova, owner Mark Cuban the Dallas Mavericks, the University of Vermont men's basketball team, general manager Billy Beane and the Oakland Athletics , South Lake Carroll (Texas) High School's football program, the Professional Bowlers Association, NASCAR's Daytona 500 (the "Great American Race"), and the Northwestern University women's lacrosse team. However different they are in almost every respect, all are successful sports brands because each "has transformed into a strong, identifiable, and differentiated brand and is an example of how to execute two critical brand differentiation tools - [begin italics] benchmarking and innovation. [end italics]"
In the final chapter, Rein, Kotler, and Shields identify and then discuss six successful "drivers" of successful sports brands (please see pages 295-306) and as I absorbed and digested this material, it struck me that the same "drivers" (after appropriate modification) could achieve the same marketing objectives for almost any other category of brand, especially as most products and services have by now become commodities in their respective marketplaces which are also "crowded" in ways and to an extent which are unprecedented.
Trace the etymology of the word "fan" and you will learn that it is an abbreviation of the word "fanatic" and probably first appeared in England in 1525, referring to an "insane person," from the Latin word fanaticus. Winston Churchill once explained that a fanatic "is someone who can't change his mind and won't change the subject." Although Rein, Kotler, and Shields limit their attention to the sports world, I again suggest that their probing and illuminating insights also have direct, indeed compelling relevance to most (if not all other) market segments and categories. Moreover, that relevance seems certain to become even greater in years to come.
Those who share my high regard for this volume are urged to check out Michael Mandelbaum's The Meaning of Sports: Why Americans Watch Baseball, Football, and Basketball and What They See When They Do; also D. Stanley Eitzen`s Sport in Contemporary Society: An Anthology.
informative, entertaining, timely.......2006-07-16
The Elusive Fan is an enjoyable read with a good blend of facts and analysis. It is entertaining yet serious. As new forms of entertainment emerge rapidly and businesses of all types hire consultants to compete for our attention and dollars, The Elusive Fan articulates the changes we are witnessing and describes how sports fit in to our evolving economy and culture.

Customer Reviews:
Powerful advice with depth - for those who mean business!.......2007-09-29
I have looked through this book, and have read the first part. The coaching exercises I have encountered so far are very thought provoking. You have to work out a lot of things as you go in this book. It is only a quick read if you skip all the work. It is almost like actually working with a coach because of how interactive it is. I am going gradually as I figure out my plan. I can't do some of the exercises yet because I don't know all the answers at this point. It really helps you develop an overall business plan, and the results of that are that you know exactly why you are making all the choices you make in establishing your practice.
Excellent Publication!.......2007-06-11
It is a very easy guide to read. As a Coach and experienced Sales Professional, it provides practical and effective excercises to follow.
I recommend this book for new and experienced Coaches.
Solid information.......2007-03-20
I have not completed the book yet, but from the 1/3 of it I"ve read, it is the kind of beginners book I was looking for. It is very basic. There have been some editing weaknesses I have noticed but that is more a function of the publisher than the author.
Oh my gosh! A great book that eloquently lays out how to prepare a stellar business plan for your coaching business........2007-03-18
I love this book. It is written by a coach for someone who wants to create their own coaching business or improve their business plan for their existing coaching business. I just finished this book a few minutes ago, and I still can't believe what a wonderful book it is. I'm a SCORE counselor, one type of business coach, and I regularly counsel wanta-be entrepreneurs and small business owners on how to prepare business plans or modify existing plans. If a client came to me and wanted to start a coaching practice, then I would be giving the client the ISBN for this book right up front.
The author has her own successful coaching business. And this book includes her story about building her coaching business. She tells us what didn't work for her and what has worked for her. She gives us all kinds of insight into what to think about and do when starting your own coaching business.
Interestingly, she has a program she sells through her coaching business that goes something like this:
1. Describe what you want
2. Explore your options
3. Create your game plan
4. Implement your plan
5. Reach your goal
This program she sells is generic. It is the same program I use when I counsel people at SCORE as to how to start a business. I have my clients: (1) Describe the business they want to create, (2) Do market research, (3) Prepare their 25-35 page business plan, (4) Implement their plan, and (5) Meet their revenue targets timely.
This book tells the reader to do the above five things to start and run a coaching business. And then there is the wonderful list of resources at the end of the book on marketing, Web sites, newsletters, articles, ebooks, public speaking, networking, etc.
About the only thing missing seemed to be a discussion on Choice of Legal Entity. Should the coach form a Limited Liability Company (LLC) or a C Corporation?
If you run a coaching business or want to start one, then I highly recommend this book to you to help you in your work. I also think you will benefit greatly by reading the two following books as supplements to this book: Plug Your Book! (ISBN: 0977240614), by Steve Weber, and Aiming at Amazon (ISBN: 093849743X), by Aaron Shepard. 5 stars!
Complete Marketing Resource for Coaches.......2005-10-05
*****
This book, though short, is succinct and very useful, very rich in content---a great guide for coaches who are wanting to begin marketing their practices. Marketing information is hard to organize, because as a coach, you really just want to know what you need to know to make your practice successful, and not a lot more than that. If you agree with me, this is the book for you.
There are lots of resources for coaches who want to delve deeper into any particular type of marketing---for example, running teleclasses---but enough basic information so that you can get started, along with time estimates, cost estimates, and estimates as to how long you would have to do any particular activity before it becomes profitable.
I really appreciated the Resource section in the back of the book covering Internet sites for sources from everything from headsets for the telephone, to e-book resources, to credit card merchants and alternatives like PayPal, etc. The Resource section is for the most part specific just to coaching, and the more general resources are useful, too, unlike some appendices.
There are assignments throughout the book for those people who enjoy exercises to assist you in actually DOING the things you need to do to market your practice. The assignments seemed good, but am using the book as a sourcebook to help me to brainstorm, so I just read over them for ideas. I cannot imagine anyone going through and doing these exercises, though, and by the end of the book NOT having a thriving practice.
This is definitely the best book I have ever read on marketing for coaches! I can't imagine how it could have been written any better or how it could have been any more helpful unless the author did the marketing FOR me :)

Sixty Second Motivator.......2007-09-19
This is a great little book. It is written in a light style that makes it easy to read and digest the principles that Jim spells out. If you have ever tried to make a change and been unsuccessful in accomplishing your goal this little book will help you to understand why you failed and how you can increase your chance of success. I found it to be helpful both with my own personal goals and in better understanding what may help to motivate my clients to achieve their stated goals.
It Really Works!.......2007-08-08
Forget the motivational seminars, DVDs, and CDs. This little book has more insights into motivation than anything else I have seen! No hype here.
The author has taken complex concepts and made them easy to understand in an entertaining way. I use the practical tips not only to motivate my patients, but also to motivate myself!
The Sixty-Second Motivator- Book Review.......2007-06-12
Both my husband and I enjoyed this book a lot. We found it to be a neat, well organized little book written in an easy-to-understand, straight-forward style that is genuinely enjoyable while at the same time providing valuable insights about why we do or do not do things. While we found it quite analytical about key factors concerning motivation, the book didn't make us feel intimidated or "preached at". The tone of the book came across to us as friendly, low-key, very helpful, analytical and a valuable "keeper" to refer to in life's future situations.
Excellent read!!.......2007-03-08
This is an excellent read and one book you will finish reading. They say that most poeople don't finish books they buy, but this one is soo relevant to our lives that you will want to read it cover to cover several times! Keeping it in my day planner for a random quick read infusion throughout the day helps keep me on track!!
The missing link!.......2006-09-19
Having read Jim Johnson's No Beach No Zone weight loss book, I knew WHAT to do, plain and simple, and WHY it was important. So why wasn't I doing what the book laid out as a proven plan for weight loss? It's all about motivation. There's even a chapter on motivation in his weight loss book - but this book takes it one step further, into the science of motivation. Personally I think both books dovetail into one another well, especially if your lack of motivation happens to be in the field of losing weight. The science of how to lose weight permanently, and the science of motivating yourself to do anything. Once again, this is all based on research and not what one guy thinks.
One of the best surprises about this book is the way it is written. Without giving away too much, I can tell you that this book is more of a story than a collection of facts, and reads almost like a mystery. One thing's for sure, it's extremely engaging. I read the whole think in one sitting; the research and strategy don't take volumes to explain or lay out. I'm not one to read huge volumes, and Jim Johnson always makes a concise read devoid of medical mumbo-jumbo. The actual motivation chart takes up one page and really makes you think about what makes your own self "tick". The only excuse for not getting motivated is if you aren't willing to give up one hour of your time, and a little more time spent thinking straight.

Customer Reviews:
Agree.......2007-04-01
First edition of this book was a disappointing investment. Would not under any circumstances look at this 2nd edition.
Too basic.......2001-09-28
The title seemed very promising but unfortunately I was not impressed. It just barely touches the areas of work that need to be done in a marketing plan with a sports perspective. Anyone who wants to work on a marketing plan for their sports organisation will find it vague at the very best.
Average customer rating:
- Easy, but Highly Informative Read
- Use this book to "catch" the sale of your life!
- Great sales insight.
- Blocking and Tackling!!

Customer Reviews:
Easy, but Highly Informative Read.......2007-06-17
You don't have to have the title of "salesperson" to get a lot out of this book. Anyone who has business development as a part of their job will find the techniques helpful. I'm a woodworker, but I still have to find and win new clients. This book has given me some great ideas that I'm already putting into practice. It also taught me quite a bit about fishing. It's a fast, fun read, but packed with helpful ideas and tips.
Use this book to "catch" the sale of your life!.......2007-05-13
Joe DiMisa marries two age-old activities, sales and fishing, to come up with a guide that appeals to every person who makes their living by selling. Mr. DiMisa uses "life" advice from his successful fishing father-in-law to walk the reader through concepts from prospecting to closing. The Captain's Logs are successfully interjected throughout the guide to tie the two topics, sales and fishing together. By the end of the book, the readers wish they all had a Tarpon Willie to guide their boat and guide their lives. In addition, Mr. DiMisa calls on past experiences as a successful sales consultant in side-bars titled "This ain't no fish tale!" These anecdotes and examples are real-life experiences that allow the reader to match the concepts to reality.
Whether the readers are fishermen are not, each person will be able to take away several ideas to propel them in their sales career. Mr. DiMisa's guide should be required reading for companies that survive on sales and customer experience.
Great sales insight........2007-04-30
The book gives incredible insight into the importance of really understanding your customers and their needs. All managers and their staff should utilize this book as a fun and breakthrough way to better interact with clients.
Blocking and Tackling!!.......2007-04-24
As a sales director you sometimes can become removed from your front line sales reps. Reading Joe's book forced me to re-examine the traits of an effective sales rep and an in-effective rep. It helped me understand some things I could do in order to break down barriers for my sales staff so they could more easily "catch" new customers. I've made it required reading for my sales managers so that they can use some of Joe's experiences to better their sales staff. I've already seen great results!

Outstanding Sales Guide.......2007-04-22
Excellent book on sales techniques and winning strategies for any executive in the sales field. The book is well written in an easy to read format that parallels Joe Dimisa's love of fishing and catching customers. With 15 years of professional experience working with or consulting for many of the top organizations in the country, the author provides good insight into some of the best sales strategies that have proven to be effective. I would recommend this book to anyone that is in sales or especially to someone entering this field.

Customer Reviews:
more than practical book.......2006-01-02
I got a very good view of many topics related to sports marketing. I would say that Melvin Helitzer gives us a great overview of what a professional needs to know to perform well in the field. It's really great tour to get acquainted with the dream job. The sports world industry deserves professionals to market, communicate and advertise with the flavor Helitzer gives to us readers.
excellent read.......2002-08-22
Tis book is applicable inside the classroom and out. I first read it for a business class and then later when I got my first job in public realtions. It really helped me understand and familiarize myself with sports PR and PR in general. If you read only one book about public relations I'd recommend you read Guerrilla PR Wired by Michael Levine, but if you can read two I'd read The Dream Job.
Up to date.......2001-05-17
Looking for a new job, I was recommended to this book. Maybe it was a coincidence, but within two weeks of reading the book and following some its sports marketing techniques, I landed a job with a major college sports department. Call me lucky, or smart that I found this book.
One of ten best Business Books in 2000.......2000-08-25
"The Dream Job" is not only a best seller in the United States, it has also been reviewed as "one of the ten best business books in 2000" by Kauppalhti, the largest business daily in Nordic countries. The critique, read avidly by thousands of readers, called the book "fantastic."
Best yet!.......2000-06-23
As a professor, I'm always grateful for texts which students not only can afford but hold on to even after the course is completed. The new 3rd edition of "The Dream Job: Sports Publicity, Promotion and Marketing" is just that kind of book. It is comprehensive, filled with hundreds of examples and exhibits and wonderfully humorous. Outside of that, I don't think much of it!

Book Description
Sports Marketing presents this field as a new discipline, helping readers gain a stronger understanding of how to apply marketing strategies and tactics within the sports marketing environment. Fullerton crafted this new text to present the discipline of sports marketing in two broad perspectives. The first part of the text (Chapters 3 - 14) examines using a sports platform as a foundation for the marketing of non-sports products, including examples such as Tiger Woods' endorsement of Tag Heuer watches and Coca-Cola's sponsorship of soccer's World Cup. The second part of the text (Chapters 15 - 22) deals with the marketing of sports products, increasing media audiences, increasing live attendance, the selling of sports-related products, and more. This is not simply a basic marketing text using sports examples. This new title fills a gap for this newly recognized course area by presenting a strong business perspective through its content. It looks at the economic impact of the industry and identifies an array of career opportunities for students interested in sports marketing. There is comprehensive coverage of how sports are used as a marketing platform and an abundance of real-world national and international examples to support the material.
