Books About Internet Marketing and Strategy

The Long Tail

Author: Chris Anderson
Year of publication: 2006
Brief description:
Business models are changing, especcially when we use the Internet in our business. The unlimited (shelf) space makes that the offer on the web is unprecedented rich and that there is an independence of time and place for everyone. This creates a huge growing demand. On the Internet other distribution rules apply than in the physical world where, because of the costs, is only room for hits. Online, there is the ‘Long-Tail’ effect: the sale of small quantities of a large quantity of products provides a huge turnover. Based on experiences with, among other things Google, LEGO, Amazon, iTunes, eBay and Wikipedia Chris Anderson, editor of Wired, describes the main forces that underlie the LONGTAIL. He also gives tips on how you can successfully operate on a ‘Long Tail’ market.
Review of Bas van den Beld:
The book gives an excellent insight into the opportunities the Internet offers for the prospects of sellers. Less cost, more opportunities and thereby in the long term more sales. An absolute must for anyone who is interested in the web!
