Are You Practicing Fusion Marketing?


A new book, The Fusion Marketing Bible: Fuse to Maximize Your Marketing, written by Lon Safko, the best-selling author of The Social Media Bible, lays out how one can and should combine traditional media, social media, and digital media to successfully market a product or service.

His book shows how to analyze the cost of acquiring a customer, calculate alternate or supplemental methods to win customers, and how to integrate or fuse “social media and traditional media into a wide variety of specialized, cost-effective marketing outreach tactics to fit each of your target marketing segments.

1.      Print advertisements in newspapers, magazines, and trade journals

4.      Direct mail letters
5.      Billboards
