"Web Engagement provides an interesting and accurate picture of National Semiconductor's approach to personalizing its website. National's site is driven to 'delight the design engineer,' our target customer. Whatever it takes, we do it! We are successful because we get them to always remember us as the one site that saves their precious time. Bill's book unlocks some of our secrets."

--Phil Gibson, VP, Web Business and Sales Automation, National Semiconductor Corporation

Every e-business professional acknowledges that connecting with customers is a good idea, but few have figured out how to make it happen. The web has changed the way companies do business; the difficulty in connecting to customers can be traced to a collision of new technology and new business models. Managing a successful web business--one that engages, delights, and serves the customer--requires mastery of both technology and business.

Web Engagement is the ideal introduction to understanding the key concepts necessary to engage, and ultimately retain, your web customers. This book explains proven strategies that allow you to understand what your customers need and how you can use your website to meet those needs. Detailed case studies and examples illustrate what other web businesses have tried--successfully and unsuccessfully--and what they have learned.

The book answers new and important business questions, such as

• What is "personalization" and what does it mean for your customers and your company?
• How can you use personalization and customization in a business-to-business web engagement?
• How can you use web server log files and browser cookies to understand what customers are doing on your website?
• How do you divide customers into segments and groups so that you can better meet their needs and increase sales?
• What are your web business objectives? How can you tell whether you are meeting them?

With this book as your guide, you will learn how to build a web business model, and an accompanying website, that connects your business more directly to your customers. You will also learn how to instrument your site so that you can change it as your market changes. Web Engagement helps you gain a working knowledge of the core issues, key technologies, and essential business models that will help you devise a winning e-business strategy for your organization.
