by Donna Baier Stein and Alexandra
MacAaron
Business and marketing executives
have realized for a long time that it’s a new day in marketing.
Customers, both potential and actual, don’t want to be talked at
or preached to, or put at the center of a bull’s eye. They want to
be engaged, to make their needs and wants known, in ways that suit
their particular needs.
That’s what The New Marketing
Conversation does: It gives the reader a strategic
blueprint for creating the kinds of dialogs customers want in ways
that those customers want to be engaged.
In Part I, the authors,
veteran marketers for a broad spectrum of firms, including
consumer, business-to-business and not-for-profit organizations,
survey the kinds of preparation needed to create and build
effective marketing conversations. They cover insightful new ways
to use testing and research more effectively and the best ways to
build winning communications and creative strategies.
In Part II, they dissect
each of the media of the marketing conversation—direct mail, radio
and television, newsletters, e-mail, the Web and Wireless
communications forms—and show how to sue the strengths, avoid the
weaknesses and capitalize on particular characteristics to build
winning dialogues with customers.
In Part III—Marketing
Conversations in Action— they show how to integrate marketing
media for maximum results and give a sample Action Plan for
your new marketing conversation. Then the book concludes with a
series of cases that show successful companies that followed the
ideas and models in the book to build better relationships with
their customers and better bottom lines for their stakeholders.
