Six theses on digital customer engagement in a troubled economy



1. Cutting back during a
   downturn is a survival tactic not a
   winning strategy.
     Start by asking not what your customer can do
     for you, but what you can do for your customer
Six theses on digital customer engagement in a troubled economy



2. Developing customer engagement is a
   retention and acquisition strategy.
     Customers have both practical and emotional needs,
     both have to be met to achieve engagement
Definition of customer engagement




Repeated interactions that strengthen
the emotional, psychological and
physical investment a customer
has in a brand (product or service).

3. Digital media provide the best means
   for achieving customer engagement
   during a downturn.
     Dialogue not monologue is the true language
     of online business
Six theses on digital customer engagement in a troubled economy



4. Customer engagement is the best
   predictor of future business.
     Customer engagement is a relationship built
     on mutual benefit

5. Responses to economic downturns
   are not
   pre-determined.
     Research and test before you assume that customers
     will spend less online.

6. An economic downturn will create
   winners and losers.

     that best use digital media and best engage
     their customers
