The profile of “For Dummies” readers:
• For Dummies readers are intelligent – and the series harnesses that intelligence and arms readers with the tools they need to put it into practice in a way which will help grow their business and increase their profit margin.
• For Dummies readers are usually frustrated or intimidated by a particular topic – our series helps replace this frustration with a real understanding of a topic which has finally been explained to the reader in an accessible way –enabling them to use this understanding in order to help improve their performance in the workplace.
• For Dummies readers will have a high ‘need to know’ agenda, with regard to a particular topic – they need to be able to understand a certain complex subject in order to be able to start their new business and grow it – one of the key strengths of the For Dummies series format, is that it has been put together in order to specifically ensure that authors explain their complex subjects in a way that is accessible to readers who have very little prior knowledge of the subject area.
•  For Dummies authors are highly credentialed subject experts and really understand both their subject and their audience.  This means that they are able to empathize with readers, and empower them to make decisions about their business or take on a previously unfamiliar task within their role with confidence.
• The For Dummies series provides readers with information about their chosen subject in various different formats, including print books, eBooks, and Apps.  This means that busy entrepreneurs and owners of smaller businesses are able to access information remotely, when they are travelling/out of the office etc.  This will increase the amount of work they can undertake, and in turn, increase the profitability of their business.
• The For Dummies website includes online Test banks with practice problems to aid learning; online learning courses; and delivers expert tips, advice and useful information
