# data[].attributes.description
GET READY FOR THE AGE OF SHOPPER MARKETING

<p>Consumers today are armed with a wealth of content--price comparisons, reviews, and even online inventory data--and this is good news for marketers, because these tools empower consumers, making them into shoppers who are more willing than ever to interact with your brand . . . but for a price.</p>

<p>The value of these shoppers' attention is soaring, and The Shopper Economy gives you the framework for capturing and monetizing this valuable commodity. Liz Crawford, a leading marketing innovator and consumer behavior analyst, gives a fast-paced and comprehensive look at how the unprecedented availability of information is a boon to brands, because it lets shoppers perform the labor of marketing when they watch and share ads, recommend products, and interact with brands and each other.</p>

<p>Crawford presents interviews with marketers and shoppers, and case studies of how brands like 7-Eleven, Carnival Cruises, and Kia are using Shopkick, foursquare, and other platforms to stay ahead of accelerating changes in consumer empowerment by encouraging and rewarding everyday activities--entering a store, messaging, recommending, "Liking," playing, and more. From these examples you will learn how to</p>

 Accurately measure and assess the value of shoppers' activities

Translate the four key shopper behaviors--attention, participation, advocacy, and loyalty--into "Shopper Currency," real and virtual rewards that have measurable value to buyers and sellers

<p>"A fascinating account of the present and future direction of marketing to shoppers. It is a brave new world that Liz Crawford writes about with real clarity.
