Dear {firstname},
Yes, creating a dynamic online experience integrating Web 2.0 tools strengthens customer bonds — this Web Experience Excellence series has demonstrated this point time and time again.
But there’s more: A thriving online community has the potential to further drive strategic online advantage and advocacy, turning your customers into your evangelists.
In this issue of the Web Experience Excellence eBulletin, we offer an insider’s look at best-in-class online communities and Web gurus who built them, coverage of the thought leadership that was shared on site at the recent New York and London live events and so much more.
We invite you to begin your exploration here:
Sincerely,
Alexander Michael
Vice President, Information and Communication Technologies
Frost & Sullivan
PS: Please join us in San Francisco next month for what is sure to be another can’t-miss event. |
