Quite a little has been written about Guerrilla Marketing Strategies.

Does that imply placing on a monkey bamatter costume to draw consideration? Of course not.

Or...perhaps Yes.

Guerrilla Marketing has been championed in recent multiplication by Jay Conrad Levinson, who's written a sequence of books on the topic. The title but implies means by which you'll be able to implement advertising concepts by means of low-cost, non-traditional strategies.
