It off ers a refreshing look at how any business can grow by engaging with their customers. It’s not about tweets or Likes. It’s about doing right by your customers and enabling them to let others know about it. This book helps you do this in very practical terms. This book is a must-read for any business owner who is tired of the song and dance of ‘content,’ tone deaf to social media, and sick of blogging. This book is for those who want the ‘steak’ and not ‘oatmeal’ of making customers, loyal customers.” —Ramon Ray, Technology Evangelist and Editor, Smallbiztechnology.com “Engagement Marketing lives the talk with practical examples from small businesses on how to excel in their business with online content and make it easy for customers to interact with the business. Gail Goodman uses the power of storytelling to explain online marketing in the easiest and grassroots terms.” —Shashi Bellamkonda, Senior Director, Social Media, Network Solutions and Adjunct Faculty Member at Georgetown University “If you’re a small business owner you probably know Constant Contact. In her new book, CEO Gail Goodman takes you further down the road to success. The old values are still the best values and Gail has given them new life for the Internet age. She helps entrepreneurs understand that Main Street isn’t dead, it just went digital. Throughout, you’ll learn how to put the ‘word-of-mouth’ power of social media to your advantage. Small business owners who want to survive and thrive in the new world of Yelping and blogging need to read this book.” —Charles “Tee” Rowe, President and CEO, Association of Small Business Development Centers (ASBDC) ffirs.indd i 22/03/12 3:44 PM “This book is a must-read for any small business owner looking to understand the latest trend in permission-based marketing—permission to engage. When done well, it brings small businesses new customers from their existing ones. Gail Goodman makes a strong case for how Engagement Marketing will become an incredibly important source of new customers for small businesses—the key to growing in any economy. Best of all, she explains how Engagement Marketing gets ‘done’ in very practical terms, using a combination of old and new online marketing tools, including e-mail and social media.” —JJ Ramberg, Host of MSNBC’s “Your Business” “Businesses that have a loyal and engaged customer base enjoy greater success. Why? Because educated consumers seek those companies that listen to their needs, and when they fi nd them, not only do they stick, but they also share their experiences with others. It’s a marketing strategy known as engagement marketing, and no one is more of an expert than Gail Goodman. In her book, Gail shares the important strategies all businesses can employ to leverage technology and social media platforms to build their businesses. This is absolutely a must-read for any owner or team that is struggling to survive. Gail’s sage advice will turn your business into a thriving entity, and you’ll soar to success. —Susan Solovic, CEO and Cofounder, ItsYourBiz.com, New York Times Best-Selling Author of It’s Your Biz: The Complete Guide to Becoming Your Own Boss “Engagement Marketing, as clearly explained by Gail Goodman, will help businesses face the public in personal, human ways. That connection is what chambers of commerce do, too; at least they should. Those who read the book will know better how to reach out to their community and their current and potential customers.” —Mick Fleming, President and CEO, American Chamber of Commerce Executives (ACCE) ffirs.indd ii 22/03/12 3:44 PM ENGAGEMENT MARKETING ffirs.indd iii 22/03/12 3:44 PM ffirs.indd iv 22/03/12 3:44 PM ENGAGEMENT MARKETING How Small Business Wins in a Socially Connected World Gail F.

  • Havin' Fun with Supersize Stereotypes: Mcdonald's Online
    Verge 5 Keen 1 Havin’ Fun With Supersize Stereotypes: McDonald’s Online Marketing Campaign Vanessa Keen America is the well-known cultural melting pot of the world. Here, all sorts of races and ethnicities coexist, assimilating and mixing, to create a jambalaya of culture. If one were to reach a ladle into this metaphorical pot and scoop out a sample of the stew, it would probably taste like McDonald’s. McDonald’s is one of the most successful corporations of our time. Its prowess seems to transcend normal demographic divides; it is the entire world’s local restaurant. One of McDonald’s newest campaigns is digital and tries to appeal to consumers via the internet. The company has purchased several domain names; i-am-asian.com, 365black.com, and meencanta.com to separately lure customers in from various racial backgrounds. These sites appear to foster a community, congratulating each group’s achievements, celebrating their uniqueness, and commemorating their culture. However, beneath all this multicultural pageantry there is a pronounced and barely masked advertising ploy. McDonald’s “Havin’ Fun” campaign blatantly targets various races individually so that it can personalize specific messages and advertising techniques for each group. The attempts to identify with minorities only extend to the most superficial, clichéd cultural components. This sort of target marketing portrays a shallow understanding of racial and ethnic identity and reinforces preexisting stereotypes. Target marketing is nothing new. For decades, advertising companies have been sectoring off the public, directing different campaigns or advertisements towards specific groups. This is an accepted and expected practice.

    Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science (2021) 49:51–70 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11747-020-00733-3 CONCEPTUAL/THEORETICAL PAPER Social media marketing strategy: definition, conceptualization, taxonomy, validation, and future agenda Fangfang Li1 & Jorma Larimo1 & Leonidas C. Leonidou2 Received: 11 December 2018 /Accepted: 20 May 2020 / Published online: 10 June 2020 # The Author(s) 2020 Abstract Although social media use is gaining increasing importance as a component of firms’ portfolio of strategies, scant research has systematically consolidated and extended knowledge on social media marketing strategies (SMMSs). To fill this research gap, we first define SMMS, using social media and marketing strategy dimensions. This is followed by a conceptualization of the developmental process of SMMSs, which comprises four major components, namely drivers, inputs, throughputs, and outputs. Next, we propose a taxonomy that classifies SMMSs into four types according to their strategic maturity level: social commerce strategy, social content strategy, social monitoring strategy, and social CRM strategy. We subsequently validate this taxonomy of SMMSs using information derived from prior empirical studies, as well with data collected from in-depth interviews and a quantitive survey among social media marketing managers. Finally, we suggest fruitful directions for future research based on input received from scholars specializing in the field. Keywords Social media . Social media marketing strategy .

  • Social Media, Customer Engagement and Advocacy: an Empirical Investigation Using Twitter Data for Quick Service Restaurants
    The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available on Emerald Insight at: www.emeraldinsight.com/0959-6119.htm Social media, customer Social media engagement and advocacy An empirical investigation using Twitter data for quick service restaurants 1247 C.M. Sashi, Gina Brynildsen and Anil Bilgihan Received 2 February 2018 Department of Marketing, Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, Florida, USA Revised 9 April 2018 1 September 2018 18 September 2018 Accepted 17 October 2018 Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this study is to examine how social media facilitates the process of customer engagement in quick service restaurants (QSRs). Customers characterized as transactional customers, loyal customers, delighted customers or fans, based on the degree of relational exchange and emotional bonds, are expected to vary in their propensity to engage in advocacy and co-create value. Design/methodology/approach – Hypotheses linking the antecedents of customer engagement to advocacy are empirically investigated with data from the Twitter social media network for the top 50 US QSRs. Multiple regression analysis is carried out with proxies for advocacy as the dependent variable and connection effort, interaction effort, satisfaction, retention effort, calculative commitment and affective commitment as independent variables. Findings – The results indicate that retention effort and calculative commitment of customers are the most important factors influencing advocacy. Efforts to retain customers using social media communication increase advocacy. Greater calculative commitment also increases advocacy. Affective commitment mediates the relationship between calculative commitment and advocacy. Practical implications – Fostering retention and calculative commitment by using social media communication engenders loyalty and customers become advocates. Calculative commitment fosters affective commitment, turning customers into fans who are delighted as well as loyal, enhancing advocacy.

  • ENGAGEMENT FRAMEWORK Solomon Solution Engagement Framework™ We Believe Every Lead, Contact, and Opportunity Is More Than a Transaction – They’Re People
    E ENGAGEMENT FRAMEWORK Solomon Solution Engagement Framework™ We believe every lead, contact, and opportunity is more than a transaction – they’re people. That’s why we focus upon the real motivators intrinsic to people centered relationships. Each brand is judged by a person as a personality. That’s hard to accept at first. But, the more we think about the brands that we love, the more we come to realize that it was because of how their interactions and products make us feel. When people interact with your brand, they’re responding within a framework of human emotion. They’re thinking to themselves; “Is anyone listening to me? Does this Company care? Are they just after my money?” Most importantly, as a person nears the point of purchasing, they ask “Can I trust these people, and will they deliver”? The brands who live by the principles of relationship marketing are at an advantage to create deeper, more meaningful, and personalized relationships with their customers rooted in human centered design. Instead of clear cutting transactions, they’re having conversations with people and nurturing relationships. Marketing’s goal is to drive revenue for the company. We’re dreamers and realists at Solomon. Relationships are absolutely more profitable than transactions. Relational marketing is big picture strategy. Transactional marketing is short sighted goals tied to micro-lifts. Many marketing automation models stop at the point of consideration – that’s a huge mistake. The people who have committed to your brand are one of your most powerful “marketing channels”. Solomon’s Engagement Framework™ captures the entire journey; from “hello” to “advocate”.

  • Innovative Perspective of Marketing Engagement: Enhancing Users’ Loyalty in Social Media Through Blogging
    Journal of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity Article Innovative Perspective of Marketing Engagement: Enhancing Users’ Loyalty in Social Media through Blogging Muhammad Sajjad 1 and Umer Zaman 2,* 1 Vehari Campus, COMSATS University Islamabad, Islamabad 61100, Pakistan; [email protected] 2 Endicott College of International Studies, Woosong University, Daejeon 300-718, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 29 July 2020; Accepted: 20 September 2020; Published: 22 September 2020 Abstract: The breakneck pace of digital technologies has created a dramatic shift in marketing campaigns to engage users through unique and innovative experiences. Focusing on the same grounds, this study relates the market engagement with users’ loyalty (UL) for Facebook social media. Market engagement has been measured through four constructs of innovative engagement (IE), functional engagement (FE), emotional engagement (EE), and communal engagement (CE). Blogging has been included as a moderator in the relation between IE, FE, EE, CE, and UL. To measure these relationships, study proposed two models and developed five hypotheses. Data were collected through structured questionnaire aimed at referral groups i.e., habitual users of Facebook. A total of 309 responses were included in the analysis through purposive sampling. Model 1 was tested with simple regression and it was found that the overall model was statistically significant and explained 65 percent of variation in UL. It was concluded that for online users, loyalty is affected by IE, FE, and CE, while EE is of least concern for them. Model 2 was tested through hierarchical regression after the inclusion of a moderator of BE in model 1.
