Here's a familiar scenario for successful entrepreneurs: You start a company and fuel its growth with your own passion and hard work. But after you expand, the company takes on a life of its own. Systems, procedures, politics, and financial pressures compete for your attention. Those demands begin to undermine your passion and your purpose.

MicroMarketing: Get Big Results by Thinking and Acting Small

Publisher: McGraw-Hill; 1 edition (July 19, 2010) | ISBN: 0071664866, | 288 pages | PDF
Every day the world sees 1 million new blog posts, tens of millions of tweets, hundreds of millions of new pieces of Facebook content, and more than 1 billion YouTube videos.

Where does your brand fit in?

In our age of information saturation, consumer attention is the scarcest commodity of all—which makes your job tougher than ever. How do you thread your messages through billions of bite-sized information snapshots to reach the right people? One thing’s for sure, you’re not going to succeed using traditional approaches. Mass marketing is dead; the next big thing is indeed very small.

microMARKETING empowers you to rethink, retool, and revitalize your marketing strategies to take full advantage of the opportunities created by the microcontent explosion. A pioneer in the world of microcontent marketing, Greg Verdino helps you create a strategy that emphasizes relationships over reach, interaction over interruption, and social networking over broadcast networks.

You’ll find the answers to today’s toughest questions:
* How do I earn the attention of the right influencers and my core customers?
* How do I really build my brand one blog post, one video clip, or even one tweet at a time?
* How do I achieve massive scale when mainstream media is losing ground to consumer content creators and peer-to- peer distribution?
* How do I strike a balance between tapping into today’s biggest marketing trends without losing sight of the little things that matter?

When one door closes, another opens. Mass marketing is no longer a viable marketing strategy and, likely, never will be again. Micromarketing, though, enables you to resonate with consumers in compelling new ways and achieve the big results that no longer seem possible with traditional approaches.

It’s time to start building your brand, finding new customers, establishing relationships, and getting real results on this exciting new frontier. microMARKETING will show you the way.

Five Secrets of the Shopping Brain
Amazon-exclusive content from author A. K. Pradeep

Your brain -- and your customers’ – is 100,000 years old. Its basic skills and functions are the same ones it developed to survive on the plains of Africa so many millennia ago. As such, the “modern” brain is occasionally at odds with 21st century life.
As it navigates through that life, your brain is like an iceberg. Most of its decisions occur below the water line. Your conscious mind contributes to making only about 5% of your decisions. The subconscious mind makes the other 95%.
For most of our evolution, gathering food and fuel have been primary objectives. That’s partly why shopping is, at its heart, a primal activity. Here are some examples of how the subconscious mind functions when shopping.

The Hyper-Social Organization: Eclipse Your Competition by Leveraging Social Media

Publisher: McGraw-Hill; (June 21, 2010)| English | ISBN: 0071714022 | 320 pages | PDF
Facebook. Twitter. YouTube. LinkedIn. Unless you're living in the Stone Age, it's hard to ignore all the social networking tools that have taken the world by storm. To keep up--and stay competitive--you need to rethink how your organization interacts with this brave new world. You need to stop marketing to consumers and start socializing with communities who know what they like and aren't afraid to share it. You need to understand the power of social media—and use it to your best advantage.

You need The Hyper-Social Organization. Based on the famous "Tribalization of Business Study"--a wide-ranging annual survey conducted by Francois Gossieaux of Beeline Labs and Ed Moran of Deloitte--this is the definitive guide to using social media for organizational success. The book's surprising findings and in-depth interviews will challenge everything you know about corporate-consumer relations—starting with The 5 Steps to Being Hyper-Social:

1. Forget technology—understand the four drivers of successful communities.
2. Forget market segments and consumers—think tribes and humans.
3. Forget company-centricity— think human-centricity.
4. Forget channels—think networks.
5. Forget process and hierarchies— think social messiness.

Social media is changing the world as we know it. This book shows you how to change your organization and be on the leading edge of the movement. Instead of marketing to general target groups, Gossieaux and Moran reveal how you can refocus your efforts to home in on what matters most to people—the communities or "tribes" that are at the core of their "identities"—and unite them through their shared passions, problems, responsibilities, wants, and needs.

You'll discover how to establish a real human presence on the Web and in social media communities and sites to open up a naturally flowing, mutual—and mutually beneficial—exchange of ideas and information. And you'll see what leading companies like Amazon, Netflix, Microsoft, IBM, Marriott, Eli Lilly, and others are doing right—and how you can do it too. Best of all, you'll hear fascinating, in-depth interviews with today's trendsetters about what their businesses are doing to become Hyper-Social. Being social has always played a key role in success. Being a Hyper-Social organization will take you to the next level.
