Question Chapter #10


Social networking and the “wisdom of crowds” help companies improve their marketing simply by being able to reach a far more vast number of customers and potential customers than any other form of advertising. With social networking and crowdsourcing companies are able to get the opinions of lots of people who are networking over the Internet which makes e-commerce much less expensive than any other form of commerce. Companies are able to see what products the public likes and dislike and are better able to give customers what they want. Word of mouth is one of the best forms of marketing and advertising a product, so social networking and the wisdom of crowds are perfect ways for soliciting free predictions of how certain products are working. Also, this allows companies to build better relationships with existing customers while at the same time gaining new customers.

Behavioral targeting is when tracking is being done on the clicks of different web sites to find out what certain people are interested in. This, allow companies to know what consumer are interested in so they are able to customize their web site to suit the customer’s individual needs. After, being able to monitor and learn the behavior of consumers, the advertising networking becomes a lot easier.
