"Creating Customer Evangelists" shows how to develop evangelism marketing strategies and programs that will create communities of influencers who can expand and drive sales for a company. By deepening customer relationships, successful companies create customer communities that generate grassroots support and value for their products and services."

4.0 out of 5 stars Insightful!, 15 Jun 2004
By Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract.com" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
What does it take to get your customers to see the light, to praise your product like evangelists selling their creeds? How do you create customer evangelists whose word of mouth will convert other acolytes to your product? Authors Ben McConnell and Jackie Huba offer chapter and verse. They tell you how to encourage customers to preach your message for you. However, before consumers will take to the pulpit, you must have an excellent product or service that converts their thinking. There's good information here, though not much new. The last chapter sums everything up as nicely as a homily, and the appendix provides additional tips on e-mail marketing and jump-starting the evangelical process. The authors' penchant for name-coining adds little; at best it's confusing and at worst downright annoying ("word of mouse" is cute, but "Napsterizing"? "Customer Plus-Delta"?). We are is glad to see someone preaching the cause of being customer-oriented - we're already pretty faithful about that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Planning to create customer engagement/evangelism/loyalty strategies? Add this to your toolbox., 14 Jan 2008
By Theoharis Papadakis "Theo Papadakis" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Excellent book because:
* Down to the point: the authors have isolated 6 principles/concepts that constitute a framework for planning customer loyalty\engagement \participation\evangelism (call it what you will) strategies.
* In the first half of the book these principles are presented and explained. The other half is devoted to 20-page-long case studies of companies that have deployed these principles.
* It's the kind of book you need to read with a notepad next to you. As you read this book and internalise its insights you will automatically start applying them to your case and produce ideas.
* Don't let the publication date put you off. All of the principles in this book are still 100% relevant.
