Bestselling marketing guru Al Ries and his daughter and partner Laura divulge the revolutionary strategies needed to successfully build your company, product or service into a profitable brand using the internet.
The Internet is the first major new communication medium to be introduced since television and businesses ignore it at their peril. If the Internet is going to take its place alongside the other major media it will be because it expolits a powerful new attribute – interactivity. The Internet will make traditional forms of branding , such as conventional advertising, redundant. In order to succeed in branding on the net, the message to customers must be interactive. Al and Laura Ries examine this dilemma and explain how their other revolutionary principles can help your company to build a brand on the net.
Like the 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing and the 22 Immutable Laws of Branding, this will be a smart snappy read full of practical advice and marketing savvy. The authors will use anecdotes from their own consulting business with top companies to illustrate how Internet branding really works.

The book is divided into 11 chapters, each of which examines a particular "law" of Internet branding. Many of the laws concern what you decide to call your company. Do you make up a name that is entirely new? This book implies that would be a good strategy. Should you keep the name short, easy to spell, and stick to the letters a to z? Absolutely. Can you use your existing company name? Not always. Your company name is not your only branding issue. In a chapter titled The Law of Divergence the authors claim technologies tend to split into several new discrete ones, rather than converge as a "one size fits all" solution. The implication is that an Internet business can't succeed if it tries to do too many things.
It won't take you very long to read this book--it is written in an easy style and the authors make their points clearly, giving plenty of examples of real Web sites along the way. But spending a few hours on it could get your killer Web site over a couple of those hurdles. --Sandra Vogel

SUNDAY BUSINESS POST
