“A thorough and competent launch...”
"WARWICK ASSOCIATES threw themselves into the launch of The Little Book of Secrets. They suggested a 16-copy counter display and got it designed and manufactured. They produced a sell sheet: it was a winning combination of strong copy, good design and a great book. At least Barnes and Noble saw it that way and gave us cash register placement across all California.
They kept at me relentlessly on my media presentation until we were all happy with the best possible angle. Finally they supported me on the road for a month as I toured most of the Barnes and Noble stores in California. A methodical, thorough and competent launch for which I am pleased to recommend their services."
