  /AB,  ABSTRACT:  It's no secret that managing a brand in today's 
  /XT   chaotic marketplace is a daunting task. Consumers are 
     bombarded with messages from broadcast and narrow-cast 
     television, radio, on-line computer networks, the Internet, 
     faxes, telemarketing, and niche magazines. But by harnessing 
     emerging technologies, companies can start real-time 
     dialogues with their customers and provide interactive 
     services with valuable side effects.

  /TX,   TEXT: 
  /XT,       It s no secret that managing a brand in today's 
  /LP   chaotic marketplace is a daunting task. Long-established 
     brands such as IBM and Apple battle for customers against 
     makers of computer clones with uncertain pedigrees. Even 
     hallowed name brands like Tide and Budweiser are not 
     immune from upstart competitors. In fact, in the 1990s, 
     "other" has become the fastest-growing category in 
     the market-share figures of many product groups. 
  /TX        At the same time, consumers have more information 
     about products and more products to choose from than 
     ever before. They have more ways to shop:
