"Married to the Brand examines why some companies develop this most desirable consumer connection, and why others don't. Using Gallup's 60 years of global consumer data and tons of consumer stories, William McEwen shows that many marketers are great at wooing a "first date" with consumers, but only the best can create a lasting marriage between buyer and brand. The book explores how emotions such as confidence, integrity, pride, and passion can make consumers want to stand by a brand, and shows how skillful brand management can keep a consumer-brand marriage fresh and satisfying. Tools to rate Engagement Potential and Customer Engagement are also provided, allowing marketers to quickly and objectively rate their own brand's performance.</p><br/> 0.68 14486 Y http://media.800ceoread.com/view/9781595620057/image/coverart REG 1595620052 English N 9.3 No Book 135 2495 active 2005-09-01 2495 Gallup Press no Business, Economics, Finance Available 1 9781595620057 2010-02-07T06:38:07-06:00 0.86 6.1
