Numerous high-profile conferences, seminars and roundtables have either had CE as aprimary theme or included papers on the topic.Customer engagement marketing places conversions into a longer term, more strategic context and is premisedon the understanding that a simple focus on maximising conversions can, in some circumstances, decrease thelikelihood of repeat conversions.

Online CE is qualitativelydifferent from the engagement of consumers offline.The behaviour of customers that engage in online communities revolving, directly or indirectly, around productcategories (cycling, sailing) and other consumption topics. It details the process that leads to a customerspositive engagement with the company or offering, as well as the behaviours associated with different degrees ofcustomer engagement.Marketing practices that aim to create, stimulate or influence CE behaviour. Although CE-marketing efforts mustbe consistent both online and offline, the internet is the basis of CE-marketing.(Eisenberg & Eisenberg2006:72,81)Metrics that measure the effectiveness of the marketing practices which seek to create, stimulate or influence CEbehaviour. 9.
