E-marketing by Raymond D. Frost,Judy Strauss Pdf
For courses in Internet Marketing or E-marketing This book teaches marketers how to engage and listen to buyers, and how to use what they learn to improve their offerings in today’s Internet- and social media-driven marketing environment. It brings traditional marketing coverage up-to-date with a thorough, incisive look at e-marketing planning and marketing mix tactics from a strategic and tactical perspective. The focus is on the Internet and other technologies that have had a profound effect on how marketing is approached today. Included is coverage of marketing planning; legal and global environments; e-marketing strategy; and marketing mix and customer relationship management strategy and implementation issues. A major revision, this seventh edition reflects the disruption to the marketing field brought about by social media. As such it covers many new topics that represent the changes in e-marketing practice in the past two years. Because of the ever-changing landscape of the Internet, the authors suggest reading this book, studying the material, and then going online to learn more about topics of interest.
