Note:
I have agreed with Ashley Friedlein, CEO of E-consultancy, that I will post these articles here in the hope that they may be useful for forum members who haven't seen these articles or news items.
1. Avinash Kaushik Interview
Avinash Kaushik is well known to web analytics aficionados as Google's Analytics Evangelist, for his book "Web Analytics An Hour a Day" and his Occam's Razor Blog, but I think his insights can help anyone involved aiming to improve their results from their web business.
So I was delighted that he agreed to this interview for "E-marketing Essentials". In a wide-ranging interview we cover everything from trends in web analytics to practical tips to measure and improve online customer engagement and retention.
2. Mobile marketing campaigns case study and free e-book
Two mobile marketing case studies courtesy of the IDM and a a 100 page+ e-book on mobile marketing and advertising courtesy of Tanla. There is increased in interest in mobile marketing / m-commerce from attendees on my "Running Effective E-marketing campaigns course" and each mobile case study has specific mobile response rates results which show that consumers are increasingly responsive to mobile for trusted brands.
I also have a post on example Facebook applications for marketing http://www.davechaffey.com/E-commerce-Internet-marketing-case-studies/example-facebook-applications-apps-for-marketing/.
