БЭП 390 – Английские словосочетания: Онлайн маркетинг (2)
Добро пожаловать обратно в модуль Business English Pod на сегодняшний урок деловые английские словосочетания for discussing online marketing.
The world of ecommerce is extremely competitive. Millions and millions of people are shopping online every day, viewing millions of options. How can businesses stand out in this sea of competition? How can they ensure their potential customers can even find their website? They turn to online marketing. So it’s no wonder there’s so much time, energy, and money put into marketing and measuring performance.
If you’ve ever had a discussion with an online marketing expert, you’ll know there’s a whole new language built up around it. Think about an expression like “search engine optimization,” or SEO. That’s a good example of a type of expression that we call a “collocation.”
A collocation is just a group of words that go naturally together to form an expression. You’ve already heard me use a few Английские словосочетания. Consider “measuring performance,” as an example. The verb “measure” and the noun “performance” go together frequently and naturally. By looking at collocations you can learn words together, not in isolation.
В сегодняшнем диалоге, we’ll rejoin Eduardo, Эмма, и Нил, who work for a kitchenware retailer. Last time, they discussed content marketing. Сегодня, we’ll hear them talking about search engine optimization and some ways of measuring success.
