Implementing Word of Mouth Marketing: Online Strategies to Identify Influencers, Craft Stories, and Draw Customers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The name fits just perfect. Cakim's book is all about Implementing Word of Mouth Marketing. This is one of the best books I have read on the subject and the best one showing how to create and manage successful WOMM programs.
`Implementing Word of Mouth Marketing' is like a WOMM manuel with step by step instructions filled with great advice. I couldn't put down my pen from taking notes. There are insightful `tip' boxes throughout the book. I had them all typed and posted on our office wall. The `assessment worksheet' included at the end of the book provides a ready-set-go WOMM program planning and helps to tailor an error free WOMM program.
I am running a WOMM company and would like to thank Idil Cakim for the insightful ideas that inspired me and my team.
`Implementing Word of Mouth Marketing' is a must read for anyone who is in the marketing business. This book is just on time.

Age of Conversation 3: It's Time to Get Busy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Most business books take 200 pages to explain one basic notion. Not Age of Conversation. Since this is a collaborative book by over 170 people, pretty much every page contains a stand-alone insight. This is a perfect book to pick up in lost moments to quickly read a couple of thought-starting entries. Even better, because the 170 marketing, PR and communications experts actually communicated whiel they were writing this, after a while it turns out the stand-alone insights are all connected to form an interesting collection where many ideas build one greater story. Very cool.

Following the success of the first two editions, Age of Conversation 3: It's Time to Get Busy! again kick-starts the discussion about how the global marketing landscape is changing. With over 170 of the world's leading marketers, writers, thinkers and creative innovators contributing chapters, this collaborative work investigates the roles that community, conversation, experimentation, engagement, and collaboration play in shaping the 21st century's economy of ideas. As businesses, public and private organizations, and individuals realize that there's much more to social media and its impacts than meets the eye, Age of Conversation 3 shows us which platforms, tools, and approaches truly work, as well as those that simply don't. "Social media" may be the business buzzword (or, buzz-phrase) of 2010, but what's happening beyond the hype? What new practices and guidelines is social media imposing on business-as-usual? And what makes this type of media so much different than the media we're all used to?From the boardroom to the locus of customer interaction, social media is transforming the way we do business. The impact of this is being felt in every customer interaction, each business decision, and even in the way we source, retain and engage our staffs. This third book in the Age of Conversation series is crowdsourced, bringing together the world's leading practitioners to share their stories, perspectives, observations, and strategies. Their diverse insights and varying approaches are a reflection of the global, changing nature of business today.

Marketing 2.0: Bridging the Gap between Seller and Buyer through Social Media Marketing Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have read many of the latest social media marketing books out there and have found that they present the topic at too high a level. They seem to try and convince you that social media is the next big thing in marketing. For those of us that have been out there and seeing firsthand that social media is taking over, we need a book with a little more meat. A book that starts to get down into the nuts and bolts of how to use social media marketing in your organization and give you some firepower to convince upper management. Marketing 2.0 is this book! @mdlorey
