Speaking With Influencers: a Buzz Marketing Guide
Consumer conversation and engagement are increasing in value as a new era in marketing emerges. Consumers are empowered to be their own Private Eyes-dig deep to find true value via reviews, free reports and blogs. Consumers are turning to word of mouth (via the web) as a valuable resource to make purchasing decisions. Access to communication tools on the web have amplified the importance and influence of word of mouth. Though it’s not possible to transition all of your marketing efforts to a viral campaign on YouTube, companies are realizing the power of product / service value and their communication with influencers.
To elevate your word of mouth efforts, we are going to take a look at how to effectively speak with influencers:

Once you have a shortlist of influencers, you can develop a strategy. For example, if you’re launching a new iPhone app, you should consider influential blogs such as Mashable, RWW or the iPhone App blog. Once you’ve decided on a shortlist of blogs, what are their passion points? Mashable is geared towards social media, covering a swath of topics, whereas iPhone App is very specific. Now you have the key players, how are you going to…

The Anatomy of Buzz by Rosen, Emanuel Edition , 0 $13.99 The first guide to creating the word-of-mouth magic that breaks through the skepticism and information overload of today’s consumers, and drive sales–and profits–to new heights.As Newsweek recently proclaimed, "Buzz greases the great conveyor belt of culture and commerce, moving everything from movies to fashions of the body and mind faster and faster."Now available in paperback, The Anatomy of Buzz, written by former marketing VP Emanuel Rosen, pinpoints the products and services that benefit the most from buzz and offers specific strategies for creating and sustaining effective word-of-mouth strategies.

With The Anatomy of Buzz, business leaders have what they need to reignite excitement about an existing product or service or turbocharge the launch of a new product. |
