Marketing via New Media

The marketing world is rapidly changing, and so are the methods being used to reach out to and interact with customers. While traditional print media are still dominant, new media channels such as Twitter and Facebook are grabbing the marketing world by storm. Examine interactive marketing opportunities beyond websites, including blogs, vlogs (video blogs), forums, e-mail campaigns, social networking, communities, podcasts, mobile computing, and even virtual reality. In addition, study the implications of this “social media” marketing on customer loyalty and engagement. These new media allow consumers a greater public voice and role, creating numerous opportunities and ramifications for marketers as groups share, sell, and swap goods and information via the digital world.
