Return on Engagement: Content, Strategy, and Design Techniques for Digital Marketing by Tim Frick
CHICAGO, June 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Thanks to the rise of social media, web 2.0, blogs, mobile apps, and about a thousand other tools that help people collaborate, optimize, connect, communicate, market, and engage, there are more ways to conduct business online than ever. Rather than wasting money on dull, one-way advertising-based broadcasting though, businesses can use these tools to build more meaningful, long term, mutually beneficial relationships with their customers. Tim Frick's Return on Engagement provides a tangible set of guidelines, tools and techniques to foster relationships with the potential to drive targeted site traffic, build customer communities, and ultimately exceed business goals.
Each of the book's four sections — Strategy, On-Site, Off-Site, and The Return — provides a comprehensive breakdown of available tools, techniques with which to use them, and contextual descriptions that answer the important questions of how, when, where, and perhaps most important, why businesses might want to implement some of these tools into their own production and marketing mix. In addition to learning lessons from personal experience, the book also provides real world case studies profiling people and companies that have had measurable success implementing these various tools and techniques. The companion Web site, www.returnonengagement.net, offers code snippets, links, resources, RSS feeds, profiles, community interaction, a free bonus chapter on mobile media, and more.
