Unleashing the Ideavirus by Seth Godin, Malcolm
Gladwell (Unleashing the Ideavirus [ABRIDGED] Audio
CD ) This is the hottest item around: Counter to traditional marketing wisdom, which tries to count,
measure, and manipulate the spread of information, best-selling
Author Seth Godin argues that the information can spread most
effectively from customer to customer, rather than from business to
customer. Godin calls this powerful customer-to-customer dialogue
the ideavirus, and cheerfully eggs marketers on to create an
environment where their ideas can replicate and spread. In lively detail, Godin looks at ways companies such as Napster, Hotmail,
GeoCities, even Volkswagen have successfully launched ideaviruses.
Godin provides all the ingredients so anyone can start their
own ideavirus epidemic. He identifies key factors to show how any
business, large or small, can use ideavirus marketing. Now all businesses
can succeed in a world that just doesn. t want to hear it
anymore from the traditional marketers. (book desciption) In the same line: The Anatomy of Buzz : How to Create Word-Of-Mouth

Enterprise One to One : Tools for Competing in the
Interactive Age The One to One Fieldbook : The Complete Toolkit for
Implementing a 1 To 1 Marketing Program A revolutionary business phenomenon has taken hold at such companies around the world as Hewlett-Packard, BellSouth, Oracle, Unilever, Telstra, and Fujitsu. These firms and others are turning to computer technology to create interactive relationships with individual customers, one customer at a time. Known as "one-to-one" marketing, this radically new competitive strategy was introduced by Don Peppers and Martha Rogers in their first two best-selling books, The One-to-One Future and Enterprise One-to-One. One-to-one marketing focuses a firm's competitive energies less on market share and more on share of customer, enabling a firm to increase customer loyalty and improve unit margins at the same time. In their new book, The One-to-One Fieldbook, Peppers and Rogers offer specific one-to-one marketing advice on how to make the transition from the Industrial Age to the Age of Interactivity. Many of the most successful firms already embrace the principles of one-to-one relationship marketing. Dell computer is now the benchmark of success in the PC business. Cisco, FedEx, Owens Corning, American Express, Amazon.com, Royal Bank of Canada, and Belgacom have all built their success on customer knowledge and interaction. The One-to-One Fieldbook provides a complete road map or user's manual for companies operating in our new interactive age. First, The Fieldbook contains dozens of checklists for implementing relationship-marketing programs, along with self-analysis tools and questionnaires for evaluating a firm's progress or readiness for such programs. It also discusses the obstacles to be expected, and ways to avoid or overcome these obstacles. On a more strategic level, The Fieldbook is an instruction manual for planning, implementing, evaluating, and upgrading any firm's relationship-marketing program. It is ideal for any manager wondering where to begin, what to do next, or how to measure results. As an added value, The Fieldbook comes with an electronic password that allows readers to access a special one-to-one group Web site, with extensive supplements and spreadsheets to the book that more than doubles its total content.
