The Internet gives companies a unique opportunity to relate to customers and potential customers on a new level, catering to their needs and wants on an individual basis. This strategy of “mass customization” not only saves the customer time and money by making their visit more efficient and productive, but also provides valuable customer profile and market research data.

This workshop is specifically designed for non-technical marketing professionals. Using a LIVE Internet connection so you can see what the buzz is all about, an expert in Internet marketing and technology will explain what it all means!

and demonstrated. These incude:
- Value-added marketing (content beyond products)
- Personalization (web pages tailored to the individual user)
- Ergonomic web site design (page layout; form vs. function)
- Engaging the user through interactivity
- Ties to corporate systems (interfacing customer, product, and/or HR
databases to the web)
- Java, VRML, Shockwave, and other enabling technologies

Yahoo, industry-specific sites, etc.; reciprocal links, advertising)
Several noteworthy web sites will be closely examined, as we analyze in detail the characteristics of their success. I’ll illustrate exactly how these web sites are:
