Book Digital and Social Media Marketing

Download or read book Digital and Social Media Marketing written by Nripendra P. Rana and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-11 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines issues and implications of digital and social media marketing for emerging markets. These markets necessitate substantial adaptations of developed theories and approaches employed in the Western world. The book investigates problems specific to emerging markets, while identifying new theoretical constructs and practical applications of digital marketing. It addresses topics such as electronic word of mouth (eWOM), demographic differences in digital marketing, mobile marketing, search engine advertising, among others. A radical increase in both temporal and geographical reach is empowering consumers to exert influence on brands, products, and services. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and digital media are having a significant impact on the way people communicate and fulfil their socio-economic, emotional and material needs. These technologies are also being harnessed by businesses for various purposes including distribution and selling of goods, retailing of consumer services, customer relationship management, and influencing consumer behaviour by employing digital marketing practices. This book considers this, as it examines the practice and research related to digital and social media marketing.

Book Brand Admiration

Download or read book Brand Admiration written by C. Whan Park and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-09-16 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brand Admiration uses deep research on consumer psychology, marketing, consumer engagement and communication to develop a powerful, integrated perspective and innovative approach to brand management. Using numerous real-world examples and backed by research from top notch academics, this book describes how companies can turn a product, service, corporate, person or place brand into one that customers love, trust and respect; in short, how to make a brand admired. The result? Greater brand loyalty, stronger brand advocacy, and higher brand equity. Admired brands grow more revenue in a more efficient way over a longer period of time and with more opportunities for growth. The real power of Brand Admiration is that it provides concrete, actionable guidance on how brand managers can make customers (and employees) admire a brand. Admired brands don't just do the job; they offer exactly what customers need (enabling benefits), in way that's pleasing, fun, interesting, and emotionally involving (enticing benefits), while making people feel good about themselves (enriching benefits). Providing these benefits, called 3 Es, is foundational to building , strengthening and leveraging brand admiration. In addition, the authors articulate a common-sense and action based measure of brand equity, and they develop dashboard metrics to diagnose if there are any 'canaries in the coal mine', and if so, what to do next. In short, Brand Admiration provides a coherent, cohesive approach to helping the brand stand the test of time. A well-designed, well-managed brand becomes a part of the public consciousness, and ultimately, a part of the culture. This trajectory is the fruit of decisions made from an integrated strategic standpoint. This book shows you how to shift the process for your brand, with practical guidance and an analytical approach.

Book excerpt: The focus of this book is Strategic Communication. Communication can be defined as strategic if its development and/or dissemination is driven by an expected outcome. These outcomes can be attitudinal, behavioral, persuasive or knowledge-related; they can lead to change or engagement, or they can miss their mark entirely. In looking at strategic communication, one is not limited to a specific context or discipline. Many of the scholars in the volume are generating research that covers strategic communication in ways that are meaningful across fields. This volume collects the work and idea of scholars who cover the spectrum of strategic communication from source to message to audience to channel to effects. Strategic Communication offers news perspectives across contexts and is rooted firmly in the rich research traditions of persuasion and media effects. Spanning multiple disciplines and written to appeal to a large audience, this book will be found in the hands of researchers, graduate students, and students doing interdisciplinary coursework.

Book Rhetorical and Critical Approaches to Public Relations II

Download or read book Rhetorical and Critical Approaches to Public Relations II written by Dr Robert L Heath and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the first to illustrate the application of rhetorical theory and critical perspectives to explain public relations practices.

With the enormous amount of money spent on product publicity and public policy debates, this book gives practitioners a sense of whether their public relations campaigns make a contribution to the organizational bottom line by means of achieving the timeless standards of the art of rhetoric.

Book Effects of Corporate Social Responsibility Communication on Consumers  Attitude and Behavior and a Moderator Effect of the Type of Public

Download or read book Effects of Corporate Social Responsibility Communication on Consumers Attitude and Behavior and a Moderator Effect of the Type of Public written by Se Na Lim and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to examine corporate social responsibility (CSR) message strategies on publics' attitude and behavior. To examine the effects of message strategies, this dissertation investigated what type of message strategy is more effective and if different types of strategies differently affect publics' attitude toward a company, purchase intention, and word-of-mouth intention (WOMI). Two issue types (an issue about the company's commitment to production and an issue about the company's commitment to philanthropy) and two types of motive statements (only public-serving motive and a message with public-serving motive and firm-serving motive were adopted. The dissertation also explored how different types of publics moderate the link between the strategies and publics' responses. The types of publics were segmented based on the situational theory of publics (STP). Data were collected from 276 participants who completed the online experiment. Findings indicated that issue types influenced publics' purchase intention and WOMI significantly. But in terms of attitude toward a company, only one company case showed a significant difference between two types of issue. In terms of motive, no significant effects were found. However, an interaction effect between issue and motive on WOMI was found. The interaction effect implied that when people read a message about an issue that contains a statement of the company's philanthropy, stating only a public-serving motive is more effective than stating both a public-serving motive and firm-serving motive. A moderator effect of the public type was found on WOMI. This finding implicated that active publics tend to have more WOMI when they read a public-serving motive and a firm-serving motive in case of an issue with a company's commitment for philanthropy. This study provides a theoretical implication of a possibility of a synthesis of the CSR communication model and the STP. For practitioners, this study provides practical implications regarding effective CSR message strategies for target publics. In spite of several limitations, this study contributes to developing a practical and theoretical framework for CSR communication and to better understanding publics' perception about strategic CSR communication.

Book The Impact of Socially Conscious Advertis e ments Vs  Non socially Conscious Advertis e ments on Consumer Attitudes

Download or read book The Impact of Socially Conscious Advertis e ments Vs Non socially Conscious Advertis e ments on Consumer Attitudes written by Nora Lynn Anderson and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Over the past decade more companies have begun participating in socially conscious or cause-related marketing. However, very little research exists that examines the effects of socially conscious advertisements on consumer's attitudes towards the brand, attitudes toward the advertisements and attitude towards the products. The current study examines the impact of socially conscious Kenneth Cole and Benetton advertisements on attitude towards the brand, attitude towards the advertisement and attitude towards the product. More specifically the current study looks at how consumers interpret the visual and verbal metaphors contained within these advertisements. Results indicated that issue knowledge/attitude, involvement and importance impact message understanding and attitude towards the advertisement. However results seem to be issue specific. Results also indicated that individuals who viewed the socially conscious advertisements had a less favorable attitude towards the brand during the post-test. Implications for advertisers are discussed as well as limitations and directions for future research.
