“Kasanoff has researched the subject a great deal as he certainly knows what he is talking about.”
Infoconomy:
“Fully endorsed by Peppers and Rogers (who contribute to the foreward), Making It Personal is a One-to-One Future for the 21st century… But Kasanoff also goes much further beyond this initial theme and tackles the practical design and realistic implementation of personalisation strategies to make enterprises more efficient and competitive.”
Infodad.com:
“Accepting the growing backlash against marketing usage of people’s personal information, Kasanoff suggests a variety of non-intrusive ways of personalizing business.”
Amazon.com:
“Combining fictionalized anecdotes with real-world research, he explores current practices; ways that developing technologies may change this tomorrow; how meaningful information might be extracted from the mass of newly available data; and some unintended consequences that could ultimately result. Understanding and using these principles, Kasanoff argues effectively, will lead to ‘reduced costs, increased revenues, and stronger loyalty’ on all levels.”
Business Age:
“Helpful and informative, and the explanations and conclusions are clearly and compellingly presented… highly recommended.”
