• Terry explains how to be 'found' via these new media, and how to think like a customer to be an expert in search.
• Curiosity • Giving people what they can't get in the physical world will make them curious to see your site. Travelocity invented seat maps and farewatcher emails which created tremendous buzz and visits.
• Exploration • Make it easy for customers to explore your site. Keep it simple. Look at Kayak vs Travelocity!
• Learning • People come to the web first to learn. Make it easy for them, give them bite sized peices of product information, just in time. Show them comparisons, photos and simple videos.
• Trust • Building trust is key in the digital age. Big brands are great, but customers today trust people they haven't met on the web more than they trust a brand. Get reviewed! Put up testimonials. Get your Facebook friends to talk about your company.

• Deepen • Make your product part of the customer's process. HP has done that with automatic ink reording when your printer runs out. Amazon has subscription diapers. Southwest airlines has 'DING"
• Rekindle • Your database should tell you when your customer hasn't shown up for a while. Reach out to them via email and the phone and bring them back, it is so much cheaper than finding another customer.
