Publisher's summary

If this were 1923, this book would have been called "Why Radio Is Going to Change the Game" . . .

If it were 1995, it would be "Why Amazon Is Going to Take Over the Retailing World" . . .

The Thank You Economy is about something big, something greater than any single revolutionary platform. It isn't some abstract concept or wacky business strategy—it's real, and every one of us is doing business in it every day, whether we choose to recognize it or not. It's the way we communicate, the way we buy and sell, the way businesses and consumers interact online and offline. The Internet, where the Thank You Economy was born, has given consumers back their voice, and the tremendous power of their opinions via social media means that companies and brands have to compete on a whole different level than they used to.

Gone are the days when a blizzard of marketing dollars could be used to overwhelm the airwaves, shut out the competition, and grab customer awareness. Now customers' demands for authenticity, originality, creativity, honesty, and good intent have made it necessary for companies and brands to revert to a level of customer service rarely seen since our great-grandparents' day, when business owners often knew their customers personally, and gave them individual attention.

Here renowned entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk reveals how companies big and small can scale that kind of personal, one-on-one attention to their entire customer base, no matter how large, using the same social media platforms that carry consumer word of mouth.

Legit! Content is on point...A must read by everyone. Social Media is def the correct terminology for the state of the internet as we live. This book may change your world, just by simply changing your thoughts.

Still Relevant in 2018

Somehow I missed this one after finishing Crush It, I was about to purchase Vee’s newest release and then saw TYE. I couldn’t pass it up and you shouldn’t either, great read! Simple and to the point. If you’re young and trying to compress all the options or older and trying to make sense of business and social media, this book is for you. If you are actively working and engaged on social media, this book is a great recalibration of your focus and energies. Well worth your time, I chose the Audio version to commit finishing and rereading this book. Highly recommended! Thanks GV!

Gary rocks it

Huge fan of Gary Vaynerchuck. I love following him on the Daily V, and watching his keynote speeches.

Thank you GaryVee

This book was awesome and very useful but the audiobook is better to hear it straight from Gary Vaynerchuk's voice!

Powerful Evidence of a Reformation in Business

This book was incredible. A friend of mine who is an entrepreneur shares this with me and I burned through it in one day.

Social is needed, but more than that we have to change our corporate structure for both customers and employees. I've worked in the corporate world for a publicly traded Internet Marketing Agency as it transitioned to a new executive team and changed models completely. The new management needed this book.

I love the lessons the author shares and all of his points resonate with me as I look at the world from an entrepreneurial perspective. I am very grateful to have read this book and will recommend it to others.

Fantastic Book!
