LOS ANGELES, CA, May 19, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Gary L. Frazier, a retired University of Southern California marketing professor, has released a new book addressing one of the most common challenges in business today: how companies with little or no brand recognition can compete effectively.

The book, "Marketing and Channel Management for Low Brand Equity Firms: Principles for Financial Success," presents a structured approach to improving performance through better targeting, demand generation, and distribution strategy.

Frazier draws on more than 40 years of research, teaching, and consulting experience. During his academic career, he served as editor of the "Journal of Marketing" and worked with major organizations across multiple industries.

The book outlines 21 principles designed to help businesses avoid common strategic mistakes. According to Frazier, these principles are intended to be applied together as a system rather than individually.

Key themes in the book include:

● The importance of targeting a narrow customer segment first.
● How to build trust when brand awareness is low.
● The role of pull strategies in creating demand.
● The risks of relying too heavily on intermediaries.

Frazier's work focuses on practical application rather than theory, with an emphasis on helping businesses improve financial performance.

The book is available through Springer Nature.

Gary Frazier is available for interviews and can speak on marketing strategy, sales management, and distribution challenges facing modern businesses.
