On more than one occasion I have heard marketers and web analysts bring up the subject of “conflict” between affiliate marketing and other online marketing channels.

The ability to have two-way communications is tremendous. Being able to listen to your customers and discuss your business offers and needs at the same time is unmatched by any other media channel. The coup de ...

However, it would be better to stick with the social networking sites that have already made it big, as a rule of thumb. The four obvious ones are Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn. Each differs greatly in their structure and purposes, but businesses have a lot of leeway in harnessing their potential. According to a survey by YouGovSiraj, 41 per cent of those polled said they interact with their favourite brands through platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and ...

is making a big move in the customer care space, with a plan to use social media as a new avenue to soothing the ire of, say, all those iPhone users out there that are having trouble with dropped calls. Twitter and Facebook have long been considered valuable branding and promotional tools for corporations and startups alike; only recently however has their potential as customer care tools been explored. Comcast Corp. earlier this year became the poster company for such a strategy by hiring a “digital care director” with a team reachable by the Twitter flag @comcastcares. Sprint-Nextel Corp. has an active strategy to supercharge ...
