How to acquire new customers
Understand who they are and what they like Start a conversation Don’t try only to sell Show that you care Personalization is key
@alessia_camera
Markets are conversations
“A powerful global conversation has begun. Through the Internet, people are discovering and inventing new ways to share relevant knowledge with blinding speed. As a direct result, markets are getting smarter—and getting smarter faster than most companies.”
The Cluetrain Manifesto, 1999
conventional marketing techniques will be obsolete by the online "conversations" that
consumers have and that companies need to join.

Social media are great, but where is your audience?Even if we’re in 2015 it doesn’t mean that your customers just want to be reached online. It’s your business, you should know where your customers are and how to hook them.
