Product Description
A top international authority on Web marketing and e–commerce provides a sure–fire formula for developing a winning e–commerce marketing strategy
One of the biggest reasons why so many Internet–based businesses fail isn′t poor product or service, or technology failures, or even lack of funding. As Internet marketing guru Ralph F. Wilson explains in this ground–breaking book, a preponderance of e–business failures can be traced back to a lack of know– ledge about the Internet′s full potential as a marketing and sales tool. With the help of case studies of outstanding e–business successes and failures, Wilson describes how to develop four, core e–business marketing competencies. Readers learn how to develop a USP, clarify goals, and perform analysis and customer profiling. They also learn how to perform product positioning; develop a balanced promotional mix; provide lifetime customer value; and much more.
