EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
6
The new millennium has brought us on the brink of the I.T. Revolution. This revolution has
been aided by the advent of the Internet in a big way. Internet is fast changing the way
people used to do things. Naturally, the same would have an impact on the advertisers. The
Internet has been accepted as the most powerful media for advertising due to the absence
of geographical barriers. The advent of the Internet and its subsequent acceptance has
once again challenged the traditional forms of advertising. Advertisers are trying to use the
'net' to advertise their products and hence 'net' their customers. Thus, with the Internet
gaining prominence, advertising equations are fast changing we would like to study the
impact of Internet on advertising from the customers as well as advertisers point of view.

There is no question that the growth of Internet advertising is outpacing offline advertising.
As more and more companies realize the real value in advertising their goods and services
online, they are diverting funds from other forms of offline advertising to compensate.
Consequently, the market share of Internet advertising is continually growing while the
market share of offline advertising mediums stagnates or declines.

At the current rate of growth, Internet advertising has already overtaken radio advertising in
spending and market share. While outdoor advertising is also experiencing growth, it is not
growing as rapidly as Internet advertising, and Internet advertising has already overtaken it.

The dominant forms of offline advertising, television, newspapers and magazines, still hold
the lion share of the market, but their market share is expected to decrease slowly over the
next few years. Some estimations predict Internet advertising will hold as much as 10% of
the global advertising market share by 2009.

The growth in Internet advertising is due to two different factors, more advertisers moving
promotions online and the growing penetration of the Internet itself. Because the Internet is
still a relatively new medium when compared to other long established advertising mediums
like newspapers and television, advertisers have not yet realized the full potential for gain.

In 2008, if you’re not on a social networking site, you’re not on the Internet. It’s as true for
advertisers as it is for consumers. Social networking is the ultimate manifestation of user
generated content, and as such, holds more potential for growth than any other form of
content on the Web today. User Generated Content (UGC) and Social Networks are
transforming the media ecosystem. Gone are the days when power rested in the hands of a
few content creators and media distributors. Gone are the days when marketers controlled

7
the communication and path between advertisement and consumer. Today’s model is
collaborative, collective, customized and shared. It’s a world in which the consumer is the
creator, consumer and distributor of content. Today there are over a billion content creators
and hundreds of millions of distributors. The proliferation of quality, affordable technology
during the past 5 years, one of the most profound social effects of the Internet has been the
democratization of media. Nowadays, anybody with a computer and an Internet connection
is ready to start broadcasting to the whole world, for free. Online tools such as the well
known Blogger make publishing on the Internet extremely easy and accessible to people
with hardly any technical knowledge.

But, at the end of the day,

Internet marketing …. Is it there yet?

INTRODUCTION
EVOLUTION OF MARKETING

mar⋅ket⋅ing♫Spelled Pronunciation [mahr-ki-ting]

– noun
1. the act of buying or selling in a market.
2. the total of activities involved in the transfer of goods from the producer or seller to
the consumer or buyer, including advertising, shipping, storing, and selling.

At the beginning of the century, social life was mostly local. It was followed by a period
in which commodities were produced on a mass scale. Consumer Marketing operated on
mass marketing principles and business primarily concerned itself with how to build the best
sales force. At the end of the century, there is an emerging global culture. The major driver
of these changes is technology. Technological change has moved steadily back focusing on
the individual. These changes shape the possibility and conduct of business. Marketing is
especially tied to communication and transportation revolution. As the tools and reach of
marketing increase, the job and responsibilities of marketers have evolved with them.

Philip Kotler formalized this evolution with his book "Marketing Management". His key stages
are production, sales and brand management. Each of these is strongly motivated by
technological opportunities, which permit new methods and new opportunities. A fourth
stage, a focus on the individual customer, is also important. As the new technology of the
Internet develops, it reinforces the new marketing emphasis - which in many ways is a return
to business at the turn of the century.

In today’s technology driven world, a new fast paced digital economy is emerging. Tomorrow
there will be companies that will exist only inside computer networks. Most business

11
transactions will be made electronically, directly from the producer to the consumer,
bypassing the supply chain. In the digital marketing environment, the consumer becomes an
integral player in the development of the product. In fact, a consumer might build the product
himself from a wide array of parts provided by the Company. It is e-commerce that is
changing the way products and services are conceived, manufactured, promoted, priced,
distributed and sold. The reason being that it is much cheaper; it allows vast coverage and
helps in serving the customer better.

ADVERTISING

ad⋅ver⋅tis⋅ing♫Show Spelled Pronunciation [ad-ver-tahy-zing]

–noun
1. the act or practice of calling public attention to one's product, service, need, etc.,
esp. by paid announcements in newspapers and magazines, over radio or
television, on billboards, etc.: to get more customers by advertising.
2. paid announcements; advertisements.
3. the profession of planning, designing, and writing advertisements.

Advertising is a paid form of communication, although some forms of advertising,

such as public service announcements, use donated space and time. Second, not only is the
message paid for, but the sponsor is identified. Third, most advertising tries to persuade or
influence the consumer to do something, although in some cases the point of the message is
simply to make consumers aware of the product or company

Fourth and fifth, the message is conveyed through many different kinds of mass media
reaching a large audience of potential consumers. Finally, because advertising is a form of
mass communication, it also non-personal

A definition of advertising, then, includes all six features

Advertising is paid non-personal communication from an identified sponsor

using mass media to persuade or influence an audience

Functions of Advertising

Advertising is an important promotional tool for any marketing campaign. So much so that
whenever we think of marketing we think of advertising although it is just one of the
marketing tools. Till now only companies with a profit motive went in for advertising. But

12
today government bodies as well as non-governmental organizations (NGOs) go for high
profile advertising campaigns. The purpose here is not to increase the sales figure but to
increase the awareness of people regarding the relevant topics.

Even though each ad or campaign tries to accomplish goals unique to its sponsor,
advertising performs three basic functions:

1. Provide product or brand information

Although many ads are devoid of information, providing the consumer with relevant
information that will aid decision making is still the main function of advertising. The
information given depends on the needs of the target audience. In the case of
purchasing a new suit, needed information might simply include price and outlet location.
For technical products, the information is likely to be very detailed.

2. Provide incentives to take decision

In most instances, consumers are reluctant to change established behavior. Even if there
are somewhat dissatisfied with the current product or service, a habit has been
established and learning about a new product is deemed difficult. Advertising provides
the consumer with reasons to switch brands by presenting reasons through copy or
graphics. Convenience, high quality, lower price, warranties, or a celebrity endorser are
all possibilities.

3. Provide reminders and reinforcement

It’s amazing how much advertising is directed at current customers. Consumers forget
why they bought a particular brand of microwave or automobile. Advertising must remind
the customer constantly about the name of the brand, its benefits, its value, and so forth.
These same messages help reinforce the customers decision. Most television
advertising seems to provide this function.

Types of Advertising

Advertising is a form of selling. It tries to make consumers buy goods or services. Advertisers
must be aware of the factors that influence people's buying habits and then use advertising
strategies based on this knowledge. Advertising can be classified in number of ways.

13
1. Print Advertising: Newspapers, Magazines, Brochures, Fliers

The print media have always been a popular advertising medium. Advertising products
via newspapers or magazines is a common practice. In addition to this, the print media
also offers options like promotional brochures and fliers for advertising purposes.

2. Outdoor Advertising: Billboards, Kiosks, Tradeshows and Events (OOH)

Outdoor advertising is also a very popular form of advertising, which makes use of
several tools and techniques to attract the customers outdoors. The most common
examples of outdoor advertising are billboards, kiosks, and also several events and
tradeshows organized by the company. The billboard advertising is very popular
however has to be really terse and catchy in order to grab the attention of the passersby.
The kiosks not only provide an easy outlet for the company products but also make for
an effective advertising tool to promote the company’s products. Organizing several
events or sponsoring them makes for an excellent advertising opportunity. The company
can organize trade fairs, or even exhibitions for advertising their products. If not this, the
company can organize several events that are closely associated with their field.

3. Broadcast advertising: Television, Radio and the Internet

Broadcast advertising is a very popular advertising medium that constitutes of several

branches like television, radio or the Internet. Television advertisements have been very
popular ever since they have been introduced. The radio might have lost its charm owing
to the new age media however the radio remains to be the choice of small-scale
advertisers.

4. Covert Advertising: Advertising in Movies

Covert advertising is a unique kind of advertising in which a product or a particular brand

is incorporated in some entertainment and media channels like movies, television shows
or even sports. There is no commercial in the entertainment but the brand or the product
is subtly (or sometimes evidently) showcased in the entertainment show.

5. Surrogate Advertising: Advertising Indirectly

Surrogate advertising is prominently seen in cases where advertising a particular product

is banned by law. Advertisement for products like cigarettes or alcohol which are

14
 injurious to heath are prohibited by law in several countries and hence these companies
have to come up with several other products that might have the same brand name and
indirectly remind people of the cigarettes or beer bottles of the same brand. Common
examples include Fosters and Kingfisher beer brands, which are often seen to promote
their brand with the help of surrogate advertising.

6. Public Service Advertising: Advertising for Social Causes

Public service advertising is a technique that makes use of advertising as an effective

communication medium to convey socially relevant messaged about important matters
and social welfare causes like AIDS, energy conservation, political integrity,
deforestation, illiteracy, poverty and so on.

7. Celebrity Advertising

Although the audience is getting smarter and smarter and the modern day consumer
getting immune to the exaggerated claims made in a majority of advertisements, there
exist a section of advertisers that still bank upon celebrities and their popularity for
advertising their products. Using celebrities for advertising involves signing up celebrities
for advertising campaigns, which consist of all sorts of advertising including, television
ads or even print advertisements.

8. Internet Advertising

Internet promotion is one of the newer types of advertising and can be accomplished in a
number of ways. Flash advertising refers to messages that jump onto your computer
screen and often move around. They can be hard to close and are annoying, but
effective at gaining your attention. Pop up and scrolling ads are other examples of these
types of advertising. Pay per click advertising refers to marketers paying to have their
web pages placed high on search engine results pages. These are also called
sponsored links.

INTERNET MARKETING
THE ADVENT OF THE INTERNET

The new millennium has brought us on the brink of the I.T. Revolution. This revolution has
been aided by the advent of the Internet in a big way. Internet is fast changing the way
people used to do things. Naturally, the same would have an impact on the advertisers. The
Internet has been accepted as the most powerful media for advertising due to the absence
of geographical barriers. The advent of the Internet and its subsequent acceptance has
once again challenged the traditional forms of advertising. Advertisers are trying to use the
'net' to advertise their products and hence 'net' their customers. Thus, with the Internet
gaining prominence, advertising equations are fast changing.

Internet marketing, also referred to as web marketing, online marketing, or

eMarketing, is the marketing of products or services over the Internet. Internet
marketing ties together creative and technical aspects of the Internet, including
design, development, advertising, and sale.

The Internet has brought many unique benefits to marketing, one of which being lower
costs for the distribution of information and media to a global audience. The
interactive nature of Internet marketing, both in terms of providing instant response
and eliciting responses, is a unique quality of the medium. Internet marketing is
sometimes considered to have a broader scope because it not only refers to digital
media such as the Internet, e-mail, and wireless media; however, Internet marketing
also includes management of digital customer data and electronic customer
relationship management (ECRM) systems.

7 P'S OF INTERNET MARKETING

The four P's - Product, Price, Place and Promotion have long been associated with
marketing, but things have changed on the Internet. So along with a change in the nature of
the four P’s there are three new P’s which are relevant to the internet marketer:
Presentation, Processes and Personalization.

16
1. Product

Product on the Internet usually changes form online, and the user experiences it
electronically, in the form of text, images and multimedia. Physical goods are usually
presented in the form of a detailed online catalogue that the customer can browse
through. Technology allows the user to virtually touch and feel the product on the
Internet - rotate it, zoom in or zoom out and even visualize the product in different
configurations and combination. Content and software are two avatars of digitized
products that can be even distributed over the Internet. On the Internet, E-marketing will
be based more on the product qualities rather than on the price. Every company will be
able to bring down the cost of its products and hence competition will not be on price. It
will rather be on the uniqueness of the product. To be able to attract the customers and
retain them, the company will have to provide nouvelle and distinct products that forces
the net users to purchase and come back for more.

2. Price

Price has been drastically changed over the Internet. It lets the buyer decides the price.
Also it gives the buyers information about multiple sellers selling the same product. It
leads to best possible deal for the buyers in terms of price. Pricing is dynamic over the
Internet.

3. Place

Place revolves around setting up of a marketing channel to reach the customer. Internet
serves as a direct marketing channel that allows the producer to reach the customer
directly. The elimination of the intermediate channel allows the producer to pass the
reduced distribution cost to the customer in the form of discounts.

4. Promotion

Promotionis extremely necessary to entice the customer to its website, as there are
currently more than one billion web pages. Promoting a website includes both online and
offline strategies. Online strategies include search engine optimization, banner ads,
multiple points of entry, viral marketing, strategic partnership and affiliate marketing.
Presently, the cyberspace is already cluttered with thousands of sites probably selling
similar products. For the customers to know of the Company’s existence and to garner

17
 information on the kind of products or services that the company is offering, promotion
has to be carried out. There can be traded links or banner advertisements for the same.
Also the traditional mediums like print, outdoor advertising and television can be used to
spread awareness.

5. Presentation

The presentation of the online business needs to have an easy to use navigation. The
look and the feel of the web site should be based on corporate logos and standards.
About 80% of the people read only 20% of the web page. Therefore, the web page
should not be cluttered with a lot of information. Also, simple but powerful navigational
aids on all web pages like search engines make it easy for customer to find their way
around.

6. Processes

Customer supports needs to be integrated into the online web site. A sales service that
will be able to answer the questions of their customers fast and in a reliable manner is
necessary. To further enhance after sales service, customers must be able to find out
about their order status after the sale has been made.

7. Personalization

Using the latest software it is possible to customize the entire web site for every single
user, without any additional costs. The mass customization allows the company to create
web pages products and services that suit the requirement of the user. A customized
web page does not only include the preferred layout of the customer but also a pre
selection of goods the customer may be interested in.

UNDERSTANDING THE INTERNET CUSTOMERS

Now to be able to use the seven P’s effectively in order to achieve the predefined goals of
any organization it is imperative to understand the customers. Customization will only be
truly effective if we understand our customers and their true needs.

Before adapting marketing practices to the Internet, the marketer needs to understand
the characteristics of the online customers. The Net users can be classified into five

18
categories depending upon their intention of using the Internet. The five categories of
users are:

Directed Information Seekers: They require specific, timely and relevant information
about the products and services being offered.

Undirected Information Seekers: These users require something interesting and useful.
Something that can give them an edge, advantage, insight or even a pleasant surprise.

Bargain Hunters: They are of two kinds: One who look for free items on the internet and
other who are seeking better deals, higher discounts etc.

Entertainment Seekers: They see the Web as an entertainment medium of vast breath
and potential and want to explore the medium before the mass gets there.

Directed Buyers: They want to buy something - now. They are sure what they require and
just log on to the Web to purchase the item.

Internet Advertising Statistics (India)

Internet Users: 81,000,000 (as of Nov/08) (as per ITU)

Penetration: 7.1% (as per ITU)

Broadband Internet connections: 3,130,000 (as of Mar.31/08) (as per TRAI)

BRAND BUILDING ON THE INTERNET

For the Company on the cyberspace, their web site is their most important brand. The
seven P’s of internet marketing mentioned earlier not only have to try and make business
successful but also do brand building in the process.

Product and service customization

Companies that have powerful brand awareness on the web all have sites that help
consumers do something – whether it’s configuring a computer system (www.dell.com)
online or offering personalized services like suburban railway pass ticket in Mumbai
(www.rediff.com). Consumer demand and expectations are forecast to drive made-to-order

19
or customized products with rapidly shrinking lead times. Products are configured, as
customers want them to be and provide a high level of reliability, excellent quality, and longer
life spans. For e.g. ‘Dell’ computer (www.dell.com) has become a leading company in selling
computers because of the customization facility it provided on its site. The consumers could
build the own computer by ordering the own configuration. The customization highlights the
value-for-money aspect and induces the consumer to buy a product that meets his own
requirement.

The Evolving Value Propositions

The value propositions of goods and services offered in the physical world differ pointedly
from those in the digital world. The ultimate aim of the universal marketer is to provide a
complete end-to-end consumer experience - right from the promise to satisfy his need to its
delivery. But the physical world offers only “Point Solutions” which is basically a solution of
his needs in terms of functional benefits. A credit card, for instance, allows consumers to
satisfy the immediate necessity of setting a transaction. But today’s consumers are also
looking for process and relationship benefit - book referrals at no extra cost or e-mail
reminders. The physical world is not able to deliver these benefits because of gaps in time,
space and memory. The web, on the other hand provides all of these and more (“reverse
marketing, for example, where consumers seek out vendors rather than the other way
around”) by giving the company the ownership and control over all interactions with the
consumer.

The Evolving Risk Profiles

The on-line customer is not a fickle customer, but he is a risky proposition nevertheless. This
is because all his online experience will influence consumer perceptions about the brand. If a
consumer buys a product from a retailer and is involved in an unhappy purchase experience
at the store, he will punish the store. But if the same experience were to occur to him at the
company’s web site, the consequences would be disastrous for the company if he were to
share his experience though different user communities using a combination of chat rooms
and electronic mails.

20
The Evolving Supply Chain

The transformation being brought about the Web revolution is not limited to just the
consumer. The last few years have seen a flurry of suggested business models for doing
business in the Internet era. Will the Internet era signal the death of the retailer? Or will a
new intermediary come into existence? Technological innovations have made possible two
interesting developments - the Choice board system 2 and the Vertical Portal.

Choice boards are essentially design tools and conduits of information, companies
that produce the products need not control them. Dell uses a Choice board system to
sell its computers but there are others like Point.com that uses a Choice board to help
customers research and buy wireless phones and accessories. The market
information that a Choice board collects about customer preferences is absolutely
enormous and if the manufacturing company does not control it, the site offering the
Choice board can emerge as a powerful intermediary.

Vertical portals armed with sophisticated search engines, which specialize in a

particular industry or product category, and provide customized information and
promote online community development are the next emergent intermediaries. The
sophistication and range of information collected on customer preferences will drive
emergent business models. The Web will thus facilitate the transformation of the
companies form transaction supporters to customer relationship managers.

CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS IN INTERNET MARKETING

Having observed the evolving paradigms of business in the Internet era, there are five critical
success factors that the Internet Marketer has to keep in mind.

Attracting the Right Customer

Attracting the Right Customeris the first crucial step. Rising digital penetration would mean
that the number of customer visiting particular sites would inevitably go up. While the number
of eyeballs or page views has so far been conveniently used as a satisfactory measure by
most web sites, it would be foolish to cater to the whole spectrum of digital visitors. Content

21
has to be very target specific. The digital company has to select its target segment by finding
out which section of customers are the most profitable in terms of revenue transactions and
who are the customers who generate the maximum number of referrals. Here again it is
important to note that the majority of online customers are not seeking the lowest price.
Rather they are seeking convenience above everything else. The power of customer
referrals has never been so enormous, since word of the mouse spreads faster than word of
the mouth. E-Bay attracts more than half of its customers through referrals. Not only do
referred customers cost less to acquire than those brought in by advertising or other
marketing tools, they also cost less to support since they use their friends who referred them
for advice rather than using the companies’ own technical desk.

Delivering Content Value

Delivering Content Value to engage the user’s interestis the critical importance in retaining
customer participation. This is because content serves as a powerful differentiator. Content
would include Product enhancements (Software patches for glitches), personalized
interactions (through customized navigation paths as seen on the web sites of GM and
Toyota) and Problem Resolution (updates of delivery schedules and e-mail responses).
Integral to the concept of delivering proper content value is innovation. For e.g.
www.campareindia.com

Ensuring E-Loyalty

Ensuring E-Loyaltyis vital to the success of any online venture. This is because acquiring
customers on the Internet is enormously expensive and unless those customers stick round
and make lots of repeat purchases over the years, profits will remain elusive. Contrary to the
general view that Web customers are notoriously fickle, they in fact follow the old rules of
customer loyalty. Web customers stick to sites that they trust and with time consolidate their
purchases with one primary supplier to the extent that purchasing from the supplier’s site
becomes part of their daily routine. The issue of trust is integral to the issues of privacy and
security. Companies like Amazon.com, which command amazing levels of consumer trust,
have used a variety of encryption tools and simple ethical decisions like not accepting money
for publishers for independent book reviews to maintain the trust of its customers.

22
E-Learning to facilitate personalized interactions

E-Learning to facilitate personalized interactionswith customers has been the biggest

contribution of the Web to the marketing strategists. Customers in traditional bricks-
andmortar stores leave no record of their behavior unless they buy something. In the digital
marketplace, however technology has made the entire shopping experience a transparent
process. For example, if the customer exits the web-site when the price screen appears, he
is a price sensitive consumer. Such minute tracking of customer behavior has major
implications for the world of advertising. The Internet may soon be used as a test bed for
testing prototypes of marketing and advertising campaigns. By monitoring pages selected,
click throughs, responses generated, and other indicators, the company would be able to
discover which parts of a prospective campaign would work, thus reducing the risk of a
potential flop. This would make it possible for the company to modify its product offerings
much earlier than usual in the product life cycle.

Providing Digital value to the evolving consumer through his life cycle

Providing Digital value to the evolving consumer through his life cyclehasbecome possible
because of customized interactions and emerging business models. These models have
often disturbed the traditional status quo and created new rules of business. The sectors
where new business models will emerge or have emerged are the music industry, the
financial services industry, the travel industry, the relating segment and the publishing
segment. Digital value is delivered to the consumer by promising him convenience, allowing
the customer to feel his ownership of the Web experience, and giving the customer a sense
of belonging that traverses the physical boundaries.

BENEFITS OF INTERNET MARKETING

The reason why internet marketing has become so popular is because they provide three
major benefits to potential buyers:

1. Convenience: Customers can order products 24 hours a day wherever they are. They
don’t have to sit in traffic, and a parking space, and walk through countless shops to find
and examine goods.

23
2. Information: Customers can find reams of comparative information about companies,
products, competitors, and prices without leaving their office or home.
3. Fewer hassles: Customers don’t have to face salespeople or open themselves up to
persuasion and emotional factors; they also don’t have to wait in line.

Internet marketing also provides a number of benefits to marketers

1. Quick adjustments to market conditions: Companies can quickly add products to their
offering and change prices and descriptions.
2. Lower costs: On-line marketers avoid the expense of maintaining a store and the costs
of rent, insurance, and utilities. They can produce digital catalogs for much less than the
cost of printing and mailing paper catalogs.
3. Relationship building: On-line marketers can dialogue with consumers and learn from
them.
4. Audience sizing: Marketers can learn how many people visited their on-line site and
how many stopped at particular places on the site. This information can help improve
offers and ads.

Clearly, marketers are adding on-line channels to find, reach, communicate, and sell.
Internet marketing has at least five great advantages. First, both small and large firms can
afford it. Second, there is no real limit on advertising space, in contrast to print and broadcast
media. Third, information access and retrieval are fast, compared to overnight mail and even
fax. Fourth, the site can be visited by anyone from any place in the world.
Fifth, shopping can be done privately and swiftly.

INTERNET ADVERTISING

24
 Marketing over the years more so recently has started being used interchangeably
with advertising. Now since the explosion of the internet; advertising paradigms have
been constantly changing.

The first Web advertisement was placed on the Hot Wired web site in October 1994.
AT&T, MCI, Sprint, Volvo, Club Med, ZIMA were the first to try it out and the Internet
advertising has come a long way since then.

WHAT IS INTERNET ADVERTISING?

Online advertising is a form of promotion that uses the Internet and World Wide Web for the
expressed purpose of delivering marketing messages to attract customers. Examples of
online advertising include contextual ads on search engine results pages, banner ads, Rich
Media Ads, Social network advertising, online classified advertising, advertising networks
and e-mail marketing, including e-mail spam.

Online video directories for brands are a good example of interactive advertising. These
directories complement television advertising and allow the viewer to view the commercials
of a number of brands. If the advertiser has opted for a response feature, the viewer may
then choose to visit the brand’s website, or interact with the advertiser through other touch
points such as email, chat or phone. Response to brand communication is instantaneous,
and conversion to business is very high. This is because in contrast to conventional forms of
interruptive advertising, the viewer has actually chosen to see the commercial.

Objectives of Internet Advertising

Advertising: As far as advertising on the Internet goes, all advertisements will serve to
attract the user's attention and draw him to the company, which is advertising.

26
Build brand awareness: Direct or indirect methods can be used on the websites to build
brand awareness of the different brands of a company. This is where the Internet scores
traditional media and methods as explained below.

Stimulate direct action: Visitors to a company's web site should get involved with the
offerings on the site. Valuable customer information can also be captured and tracked for
future marketing initiatives.

Promote its brands: Promotional give - away or contests generate excitement while
simultaneously promoting your brands online, aiding off - line sale.

Building a culture around its brands: This goes along with that company's traditional
advertising.

Surrogate advertising: This is another means of surrogate advertising of the company,

where all forms of traditional advertising fail. Surrogate advertising can be proved to be
positive in case of advertising on the Internet.

Features of Internet Advertising

Advertising on the Internet has certain unique features that differentiate it from other forms
of advertising. They are as follows:

Member registration: Member registration is an efficient tool that is used by firms to create
their database. Such a database may be used to design promotional campaigns. Allowing
registered users to participate in various events can follow systems of free registration.

Online opinion polls: Opinion polls are conducted to obtain the responses from users
regarding the firms' products and services besides including topics of general interest.

Newsletters: Regular newsletters are sent especially to registered users. These contain
information about current updations on the site and activities being performed by the
company.

Contests and sweepstakes: Contests are useful in attracting new users to websites. They
may be for simple things depending on the product or service being advertised. The prizes
offered are in a wide range and usually have the logo of the company and the homepage
address displayed prominently.

27
Content: The content of the advertisement can be regularly updated with news regarding
the activities of the firm. A fact-based section showing the manufacturing processes of a
company may also be included. The use of multimedia tools can make this more
interactive.

E-cards: Users send free cards via e-mail from the site of the company advertising the
product. The card prominently displays the logo or the baseline of the brand. The cards
may be for different occasions such as birthdays, festivals, birthdays, etc. These cards are
used to reinforce brand identity. Star endorsers of the brand may also be included in the
picture postcard themes.

Downloads: Downloads may include various utilities for the computer such as icons,
desktop patterns, screensavers, themes, etc. Registered users get the opportunity of
downloading software. Charts and other informative articles may also be included.

Coupons: Coupons are used to promote sales off-line. Sending discount coupons for the
products and services of the company on special occasions can do this.

Types of Internet Advertising

E-mail advertising: Legitimate Email advertising or E-mail marketing is often known as

"optin e-mail advertising" to distinguish it from spam.

Affiliate Marketing: Affiliate marketing is a form of online advertising where advertisers

place campaigns with a potentially large number of small (and large) publishers, whom are
only paid media fees when traffic to the advertiser is garnered, and usually upon a specific
measurable campaign result (a form, a sale, a sign-up, etc). Today, this is usually
accomplished through contracting with an affiliate network.

The online retailer used its program to generate low cost brand exposure and provided at
the same time small websites a way to earn some supplemental income.

Contextual advertising: Many advertising networks display graphical or text-only ads that
correspond to the keywords of an Internet search or to the content of the page on which the
ad is shown. These ads are believed to have a greater chance of attracting a user,
because they tend to share a similar context as the user's search query. For example, a
search query for "flowers" might return an advertisement for a florist's website. Another

28
newer technique is embedding keyword hyperlinks in an article which are sponsored by an
advertiser. When a user follows the link, they are sent to a sponsor's website.

Behavioral targeting: In addition to contextual targeting, online advertising can be

targeted based on a user's past click stream. For example, if a user is known to have
recently visited a number of automotive shopping / comparison sites based on click stream
analysis enabled by cookies stored on the user's computer, that user can then be served
auto-related ads when they visit other, non-automotive sites.

Pay per Click: Search engines place your website on their front page and you pay a set
amount per click-through. Sites like Overture also run bids for certain keywords - the more
you bid, the higher your site appears on the first page of the search results. Properly run,
these campaigns can bring a lot of extra traffic to your website.

Search Engine Optimization: This is an online advertising service provided by many web
media companies. They will look at your target audience, your competitors and the
keywords for your business and optimize your website content so that it has a much better
chance of appearing on the first page of the search results. You will pay a fee to the
consultants for this service. Studies have shown that many searchers prefer to use the
"natural" listings provided by the search engines, rather than the paid-for listings.

Sponsorships: Website sponsorship can come in two formats; regular sponsorship where
the advertiser has a space to place the logo and company message, and content
sponsorship where the advertiser has limited control and submits their own content to the
site as well as having an advert on the page. These sponsorships will be for fixed periods,
and need to be on targeted websites to reach the right audience.

Online Directories: The online equivalent of Yellow Pages, or Industry Directories, these
give you basic or enhanced listings on the website. Your details will come up if your sector,
location or company name is searched for. Enhanced listings will allow users to click-
through to your site. Online directory listings are often offered in conjunction with an entry in
the printed version of the directory.

Banner Ads: Banner advertising was the first kind of advertising ever done on the net. A
banner can highlight your product/service/offer and by clicking on it the user will be taken to
your website, where you can create a suitable landing page to provide his further
information. Banner spaces are usually sold by impressions, or banner views, but it is
sometimes sold by click-thru, when you pay only when the user clicks on the banner.

29
Usually horizontal bars across the top of a web page, they offer colour, graphics and often
animation, together with the ability to click through to the advertiser's own website.

Pop-up Ads: These are the small windows that appear when you first get onto a website.
Pop-ups appear on your screen in full, pop-downs appear on the bar at the bottom of your
screen and you have to open them to get rid of them.

Interstitial Adverts: These adverts sometimes referred to as Bridge Adverts, pop up as

you move between pages on a site. You have no choice as to whether you view them or
not, although you can close them down.

Floating Ads: These ads appear when you first go to a webpage, and they "float" over the
page for five to 30 seconds. While they are on the screen, they obscure your view of the
page you are trying to read, and they often block mouse input as well. These ads appear
each time that page is refreshed. Floating ads are popular for several reasons:

They grab the viewer's attention and cannot be ignored

They are animated
They have audio/video content like TV ads
They can take up the entire screen, therefore from a branding standpoint, they are much
more powerful than a banner ad or a sidebar ad

They have a high click-through rate of about 3 percent

However, many users get highly irritated because of these ads.

Unicast Ads: A unicast ad is basically a TV commercial that runs in the browser window. It
has enriched audio/video content. The ads can last anywhere from 10 to 30 seconds.
These ads have similar branding power as a TV commercial. However, a unicast ad offers
something that TV ads cannot -- the ability to click on the ad for more information. These
ads are getting very effective, as the average click-through rate is 5%.

Takeover Ads: Viewers visiting the website will see a large ad when they first come, and
then the continuity is maintained by reiterating the same message throughout the site in the
form of banners, side bars or buttons. The approach works very well for branding because
the brand is visible to viewers throughout the visit to the site. Click-through rates are also
high.

30
INTERNET ADVERTISING TRENDS

There is no question that the growth of Internet advertising is outpacing offline advertising.
As more and more companies realize the real value in advertising their goods and services
online, they are diverting funds from other forms of offline advertising to compensate.
Consequently, the market share of Internet advertising is continually growing while the
market share of offline advertising mediums stagnates or declines.

At the current rate of growth, Internet advertising has already overtaken radio advertising in
spending and market share. While outdoor advertising is also experiencing growth, it is not
growing as rapidly as Internet advertising, and Internet advertising has already overtaken it.

The dominant forms of offline advertising, television, newspapers and magazines, still hold
the lion share of the market, but their market share is expected to decrease slowly over the
next few years. Some estimations predict Internet advertising will hold as much as 10% of
the global advertising market share by 2009.

The growth in Internet advertising is due to two different factors, more advertisers moving
promotions online and the growing penetration of the Internet itself. Because the Internet is
still a relatively new medium when compared to other long established advertising mediums
like newspapers and television, advertisers have not yet realized the full potential for gain.

Even in developed markets, ad budgets don’t even come close to matching consumption
rates. This shows how much room for growth Internet advertising really has. While there is
no way to guarantee these predictions, the current trends bear them out. Market share for
Internet advertising will surely continue to grow rapidly over the coming years.

In 2008, if you’re not on a social networking site, you’re not on the Internet. It’s as true for
advertisers as it is for consumers. Social networking is the ultimate manifestation of user
generated content, and as such, holds more potential for growth than any other form of
content on the Web today. User Generated Content (UGC) and Social Networks are
transforming the media ecosystem. Gone are the days when power rested in the hands of
a few content creators and media distributors. Gone are the days when marketers
controlled the communication and path between advertisement and consumer. Today’s
model is collaborative, collective, customized and shared. It’s a world in which the
consumer is the creator, consumer and distributor of content. Today there are over a billion
content creators and hundreds of millions of distributors. The proliferation of quality,
affordable technology during the past 5 years, one of the most profound social effects of

31
the Internet has been the democratization of media. Nowadays, anybody with a computer
and an Internet connection is ready to start broadcasting to the whole world, for free.
Online tools such as the well known Blogger make publishing on the Internet extremely
easy and accessible to people with hardly any technical knowledge. The phenomenon of
democratized media results in a landscape of millions of micro-media, most importantly in
the following forms:

Weblogs (or blogs) are in fact web pages that are extremely easy to update, published by
one person or a group. Blogs typically offer the possibility for readers to leave comments on
posts, which typically leads to dialogue.

Podcasts (combination of the words iPod and Broadcast) are essentially radio programs,
distributed in MP3 format. Creating a podcast is still relatively easy and very cost-effective.
Podcast can be easily downloaded to a portable MP3 player.

Videocasts (Video Podcasts) are video files distributed in MPEG-4 format. Home-made
videocasts are starting to appear through videocasting, available instantly to the whole
world.

Wikis are types of websites that enable cooperation (open to the public or within a
company or group) by allowing people to freely edit all of its content. The result is a publicly
edited website, with as little top-down control as possible. The best known wiki is
Wikipedia.org, an online encyclopedia that allows all registered users to improve its articles.

The first three of these new forms of media come with a universal technology for
distributing content over the Internet: RSS. RSS is a very important part of all three
technologies, as it allows consumers to literally subscribe to content.

RSS (Rich Site Summary or Really Simply Syndication) facilitates syndication of content.
By subscribing to an RSS feed, content will be delivered automatically to the subscriber’s
computer, rather than him or her going out to a website to find it. This content can be text
(weblog or news feed), audio (podcasts) or video (videocasts). These feeds can we viewed
in so called RSS readers, software (web based or stand alone) that receives these RSS
feeds, interprets them, and shows their content either as articles or as multimedia. New
uses for RSS are being developed constantly and according to many, it will be the future
standard of distributing content on the Internet, in the broadest sense.

32
Consequences

Combinations of these technologies are leading to a complete democratization of media.

Individuals find themselves with the same possibilities as mayor newspapers, groups start
weblogs that compete with global content distributors, and online radio stations emerge.
The cost of broadcasting has never been so low. Everybody with a PC and an Internet
connection can not only access all traditional media from all over the world, but also the
micro-content added to the media landscape by individuals. Millions of people have evolved
from being mere media consumers to being media producers as well.

What is User Generated Content?

User Generated Content (UGC), also known as consumer-generated media (CGM),

refers to any material created and uploaded to the Internet by non-media
professionals, whether it’s a comment left on Amazon.com, a professional-quality
video uploaded to YouTube, or a student’s profile on Facebook. UGC has been
around in one form or another since the earliest days of the Internet itself. But in the
past five years, thanks to the growing availability of highspeed Internet access and
search technology, it has become one of the dominant forms of global media. It is
currently one of the fastest growing forms of content on the Internet.

What is Social Media?

The promise of UGC is now being hyper-realized with social media. Sites like
MySpace, Facebook, and You-Tube represent the convergence of user commentary
with video, photos, and music sharing, all presented in a simple, user-friendly format,
allowing participation on a mass scale.

MARKET RESEARCH
Title

A study on the effectiveness of Internet Advertising in Mumbai

PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF STUDY

Advertisers are expected to spend Rs. 22,500 million in internet advertising in the year
2009 third only to TV and Print ads, which is around 5257% more than that in the year
2004, compound percentage increase of 124% over the last 5 years. This is the new age of
advertising.

It is true that people have started realizing that internet can serve as a one stop point for all
their needs. Be it communication, entertainment, shopping, information search, internet
serves as a panacea for all their requirements. This has led 70% of the ever users to glue
themselves to the Internet and access it on a regular basis. This is an opportunity for
advertisers to exploit this revolution. But, is it the end of traditional advertising? Is internet
advertising effective and efficient compared to the traditional form?? Does it fulfill the basic
objectives of advertising (create awareness, to generate sales, build positive image,
etc…)???

The problem is that, volumes of consumers are online everyday for their personal work, but
do they notice the ads, banners etc. displayed on that webpage, most important what is
their recall/remembrance value. What about the reach of online advertising, is it effective
across over all target groups? We have trusted traditional advertising all these years and
it’s a proven medium that fulfills all the objectives of advertising, can one have the same
trust for online advertising…

RESEARCH OBJECTIVES

To compare the trust level of traditional advertising and online advertising (consumers
point of view)

34
 To find the effectiveness of internet advertising (reach and creation of awareness) To
find the reliability of internet advertising (recall and remembrance)

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research design

This is a descriptive research as it will clarify the doubts about online advertising.

It would give us a clear picture on the effectiveness and reliability of online advertising
compared to the traditional form of advertising.

FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS
PART I

Attitude towards Advertisements

One can clearly make out that consumers perceive advertisements as a source of
information and awareness, be it general or towards TV commercials.

Not many people find advertisements to be irritating, annoying or waste of time. This clearly
shows a positive attitude toward them and hence is a good indication for marketers.

36
For television commercials, around 70% of consumers had a positive perception towards
advertising on TV.

Influencer behind Decision Making

Influencers influence the decision making process of a potential consumer. Influencers can
be advertisements, friends, relatives, third party or it can be self motivated also.

In Mumbai (as the target market is Mumbai) we can infer that friends and relatives are the
major influencers behind decision making.

37
One can infer from the Geert Hofsted Cultural Dimensions a possible reason for friends and
relatives to be a major influencer.

Geert Hofsted Cultural Dimensions

Indian culture is collectivistic. On the collectivist side, we find societies in which

people from birth onwards are integrated into strong, cohesive in-groups, often
extended families (with uncles, aunts and grandparents) which continue protecting
them in exchange for unquestioning loyalty.

India is low on Uncertainty Avoidance, i.e. the culture is more open to unstructured
ideas and situations. The population may have fewer rules and regulations with
which to attempt control of every unknown and unexpected event or situation

The recommendation of someone else remains the most trusted sources of information
when consumers decide which products and services to buy. And even though
new media technologies are playing a role in ‘globalizing’ society, many purchasing
decisions are still based on firmly held national and cultural attitudes.

Being collectivistic, Indian consumers tend to trust the immediate group of people
in the decision making process. They are open to new things, but advise, suggestions
and comments of friends and relatives hold more value.

If not friends and relatives, Traditional mode of advertising i.e. ATL would influence
them. It’s obvious as it the oldest form promotion and it goes by the saying “Old is
Gold”. There is also a hand in the awareness part of which is discussed later on in the
analysis.

Internet marketing has a long way to go before it starts influencing the decision making
process.

38
Consumer preference of advertising

Again, one can easily make out that traditional form of advertising has an edge over internet
advertising in terms of consumer preference mode of advertising. Traditional mode got over
82% preferences than that of internet advertising which is a huge margin.

The reason for this is same as that of influencer, i.e. cultural attitude of consumers towards
advertising.

Consumers would prefer to check out ATL elements in case there is a need i.e. information
search and take their decision in terms of purchasing.

39
Consumers Trust on advertising

The above is the chart for trust level of advertisement medium from consumer’s point of
view. Again recommendation and traditional advertisement are a leap ahead of online
mobile and BTL form of advertising. One can say that Indian mentality towards online form
of advertising is still at the baseline and that of mobile is even worse.

Initial Conclusion I

One can confidently conclude that consumers still trust and prefer the traditional form of
advertising than that of online.

40
PART II

Time spent….

On an average, a person spends more than 4 hours on the internet during his free time
which is 70% more than that of TV and movies and around 300% more than that of radio
and print medium.

Hence, on an average the exposure of internet to an individual is around 150% more than
that of other mediums i.e. the reach of medium internet is much better than that of others.

But one cannot infer anything about the effectiveness of the medium through exposure
(reach) alone. One needs to calculate the impressions (actual number of times an
individual sees the ad) of the medium also.

Reach

Reach refers to the total number of different people or households exposed, at least
once, to a medium during a given period of time.

Impressions

This is a term used by media to describe and quantify the number of individuals who
have an "opportunity" to see an AD in a given amount of time.

41
Impression of TV Ads (Ad avoidance)

When there were only 2 channels which were “Doordarshan”, consumers didn’t have any
choice but the see the commercial ads in between the programs. That time the impression
was very high and hence was a very effective and efficient medium of promotion.

Now, with more than 250 TV channels, 20 Radio channels, the consumer has lot of options,
he may change the channel, or may ignore it completely.

According to the survey, around 64% of consumers see the ad if they find it to be
entertaining, creative, humorous or in some way attractive and appealing.

Of course there are people (26%) who change channels during breaks but not always. In
fact, according to the survey there was no one who change the channel each and every
time.

Effectively, 75% of viewers will see the advertisement if the ad is attractive and appealing.
Hence there is a probability of .75 of a consumer viewing the particular advertisement (for
creating awareness and information) on television making it an effective mode of
communication. As it is, it is the second most trusted mode of communication in the minds
of people.

42
Impression of Online Ads (Ad avoidance)

Whereas in case of online advertising, around 79% of consumers ignore it completely, i.e.
they don’t even see them and that of 21% see them if they find it to be attractive.

Out of that 21%, 15% said that the intension was not to see those ads, but they didn’t have
any option but to see them as they were Interstitial Adverts, Pop – up ads or Floating ads.
These ads either block the view of the content, or appear right in the middle of the page, or
keeps on floating (moving) around which is considered to be very irritating for the
consumers.

Effectively, only 6% saw the online advertisement coz they were of their interest or was
attractive. Some said they liked few ads coz of their interactivity and animation effects. This
might give that flash ads are more appealing.

Trust levels of online advertisements are at the bottom of the list. Hence considering the
trust levels and the effective impression, one can conclude that it is not an effective mode
of communication.

Initial Conclusion II

Even though the reach of internet is much higher than that of other modes, its ability to
attract consumers for awareness creation is very low. Hence comparatively, traditional
modes especially TV commercials are a better option.

43
PART III

Remembrance

Remembrance is the remembering only the brand name or its color or the contents
or some part of the advertisement and not the whole thing.

Recall

Recall is bringing something back from memory. One can recall most of the
elements of the advertisement. A high recall value infers that the awareness of the
brand is high.

Ad Remembrance

The question that was asked in the survey was the latest ad that they remember in the
specific medium. Only 11 % could remember their last online ad, whereas 90% could
remember the TV commercial.

In this case also, traditional form of advertising has a huge edge over the online form.

44
Ad Remembrance & Recall

This is for the last five ads that they had seen consciously or unconsciously. In case of TV
ads, 84% remembered their last five ads and of them 83% could recall them which is a very
good score in terms of creating awareness.

In case of Online ads, only 54% could remember their last five interaction and of them only
30% could recall.

Initial Conclusion III

One can easily make out the reliability of online and TV ads through the remembrance and
recall values. It’s pretty clear that TV ads are much reliable than that of their counterparts.

45
 6
CONCLUSION
Practically it has been proved through the research that online advertising is neither
effective nor reliable as compared to the traditional medium which is Television
commercials and print media i.e. newspapers and magazines. Also, consumers trust the
traditional medium more than that of online and there is a vast difference in their trust
levels.

Of course, it could be because of the Indian culture which is different from the western
countries that are more into e commerce and prefer to buy things online and they trust the
internet more as compared to the other forms. Therefore, Internet advertising is more
successful in those countries. All in vain in India, as we prefer to tangibles the things that
we buy. Being collective we go shopping along with family friends and relatives.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN

In the world of online advertising, click-through is viewed as the primary measure of

advertising effectiveness. This metric quantifies how marketing communication can be
directly linked to immediate consumer action. But, the metric has certain shortcomings;
primary reliance on click-through does not recognize that in most cases consumers who
are exposed to advertising over the Internet may not currently have a need for the products
or services being advertised to them. Additionally, click-through does not quantify the
impact that the exposure of the advertisement has on a consumer’s attitudes and
perceptions of the brand being advertised. Advertisers in the offline world realize that
consumers may not have an immediate need to purchase a product or service at the
moment it is being advertised. Realizing this aspect of consumer behavior, a common
advertising strategy is to build awareness of a product and form positive associations
(Subliminal effect) between that product and a consumer over time so that when the need

46
arises to purchase from a given category, a consumer is more likely to consider that
advertiser’s product.

Classical Conditionings

Classical conditioning is often referred to as a means in which humans learn by

association. In the classical conditioning paradigm, Pavlov’s Dog, a neutral stimulus
is paired with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit an unconditioned response. For
example, after repeated pairings of meat (known to cause salivation) with the sound
of a bell, the sound of a bell alone elicits salivation. This association is dependent on
two characteristics of the association: contiguity and frequency. The law of contiguity
states that in order for associative learning to take place, the unconditioned stimulus
and the neutral stimulus must be paired close in time to each other. Furthermore, it
is not enough for a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus to simply co-exist
in a close period of time. The more frequent the pairing, the easier it is to form an
association.

Proponents of applying classical conditioning to marketing believe that the

association between a product and positive stimuli may help explain the effect of
many variables in communication and attitude change. Gorn (1982) tested the
effects of a positive unconditioned stimulus on product preference. His results
support the notion that the simple association between a product (conditioned
stimulus) and another stimulus such as music (unconditioned stimulus) can affect
product preferences as measured by product choice. However, these effects were
diminished in situations where consumers were in a clear decision making mode.

The learning’s of classical conditioning give us some insight on the characteristics of

an effectively branded Internet advertisement. First and foremost, the frequency with
which an ad is served impacts brand awareness. .Frequency also impacts whether
or not an association between a message and a brand is made by a consumer.

Another model of consumer behavior that relies on associative learning is operant

conditioning. Where classical conditioning says behavior is a result of an association
between a stimulus and response, operant conditioning states that behavior is the
result of reinforcement; a behavior followed by a positive consequence (positive
reinforcement) is likely to be repeated whereas behavior followed by a negative
consequence (punishment) is likely to cease. To relate reinforcement with online
advertising, it is necessary to hypothesize what characteristics of online advertising
respondents view negatively and which are viewed positively. To do this, the authors
drew on their general observations of consumer behavior on the Internet.

47
In most cases, users view banner advertisements as a nuisance as they are engaged in
other activities while they are being exposed to the ads. Additionally, we can assume that
most people exposed to an ad do not have the need for the products being advertised at
that time. Therefore, these ads are less likely to be noticed. In order to have an impact on
brand metrics, we can hypothesize that getting a message in front of someone as quickly
as possible, before they scroll away, is of extreme importance. In addition, the presence of
a logo, the size of a logo, and the size of the banner should all have an impact on the
banner’s ability to brand.

Applied appropriately, these characteristics may serve as positive reinforcement and

therefore have a positive impact on branding. Conversely, when applied improperly, these
ads may serve to punish viewers thus resulting in little to no impact on brand metrics.

Also, the banner could lay a subliminal effect on the consumer which might drive him to buy
the product or create some association with it. Because it is the subconscious mind that
plays the game here. If one can take target this subconscious mind then definitely it can
create a positive impact on branding.

LAST WORD

Finally I would like to end by saying that even though the internet has opened up a new
avenue for reaching the end consumer; it is still very much an open field. This is true as
there is no fixed way or strategy for marketing on the net. It is still very much an arena
where ingenuity and creative thinking very much rule the roost. Thus marketing as usual
has not changed, i.e. it is still the same usual self……. unpredictable but very much
required.

RECOMMENDATION

Why only online advertising… If there are other opportunities, on the internet…

SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING
SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING

The influence of traditional media and marketing have over consumer perception is waning
as people migrate to the variety of social media technologies for entertainment and to
share information with each other. But these social media outlets are more than another
channel through which to deliver messages to the marketplace. Companies like Dell,
Microsoft, Nikon and Nintendo are successfully using social media and marketing
strategies to understand and engage their audiences more deeply – with demonstrable
business results. Social media is making an impact on all aspects of business
communications today. Reliance is the latest additions to Social Media Marketing.

In 2006, social media formats like blogs, photo sites and video sites crossed the threshold
from techno-curiosity to become a bona fide societal trend. Consumers by the millions have
embraced these powerful communication tools to post an opinion, share an experience,
and join the online conversation. These conversations affected many companies, some
positively and some negatively, and raised the awareness of the power social media has to
influence business results.

Now we are in an era where companies must take action. The reach and influence of social
media is only going to grow.

The Social Web’s New Communication Forms Draw More Users

Communications has always been the fundamental value of the internet to consumers.
Back in the net’s early days, email was the “killer app” that made the Web a “must-have”
and continues to be a mainstay of the online experience. Communication activities split the
lion’s share of consumers’ online time with content, and far outstrip commerce and
entertainment.

49
Technology-Powered Communications Accelerate Word of Mouth

From the earliest UseNet groups to today’s hot video sharing and social network sites,
each new innovation has increased consumers’ reach and influence.

Email was first practical application of the Internet for most people and it was the first
word of mouth accelerator as it enabled people to connect with family and friends
instantly, frequently and at little cost.

Usenet groups and discussion boards made it easy for people to find others with similar
interests and consumers learned that the Internet freed them from the limit of
geography and personal connections. The influence of word of mouth expanded rapidly
within these vertical niches.

Consumer review sites used the discussion board format, but focused discussions around
specific products, such as books at Amazon.com. Consumers embraced the idea of
reading book reviews written by other readers and not relying on professional
reviewers’ opinions to decide whether to pick up the latest bestseller.

Blogs freed consumers from the limited membership of discussion boards. Blog sites like
Blogger made it simple for an average Web user to post his or her opinions to the
world. Armed with a browser, basic typing skills, and a few straightforward Web
commands, anyone can publish their thoughts, rants, or daily journal in a few minutes a
day.

50
 Consumers soon learned their conversations aren’t limited to words. Digital photography’s
boom introduced people to sharing their creations, first via email then via first-
generation photo-sharing sites like photobucket.com.

Digital camcorders and audio/video editing programs like Apple’s iMovie became
affordable and user-friendly versions for home users. People were no longer limited to
text or still photos, and consumer-created video site YouTube quickly bloomed to six
million users watching 40 million videos per month.

Social networks like MySpace skew more toward the social end of the social-to-content
continuum. They combine a selection of social media tools like blogs, photo sharing,
etc. to give the author a platform for expressing their passions and preferences, while at
the same time serving as a central communication hub for a group of friends. Early on,
bands would build online fan communities to promote their music; now brands like
Burger King, Toyota, Adidas, and Cingular create circles of “friends” that become
brandbuilding hubs.

Social Media Transforms Communications into Content

These new tools blur the line between communications and content. Blogs are a natural
example of how content and communications blend into a single experience. Each entry (or
“post” as it is known) is a short article, essay, news item, etc. But bloggers mean to
stimulate feedback and conversation, as readers add comments and links to other blogs to
make a point. This interplay results in a dialogue of different perspectives and opinions.
Sometimes the resulting communications can be so influential they end up taking the story
in an entirely new direction.

Social Media Begins to Impact Brands

One of the most exciting and powerful forms of social media is the video. Videos are the
ultimate expression of creativity since they can “mashup” (all in one) elements and
messages from audio, video, blogs, company-created messages and media coverage.

Social media sites like Orkut, Myspace and Facebook are usually seen just as places
where people go to connect with friends and find others with similar interests.

51
The Other Side of Influence

Often the discussions can be positive about your products and the experiences consumers
have had with you, but sometimes they can be very negative. On the one hand, this
increases the number of potential critics and they don’t need to have impressive
qualifications or credentials to be influential.

On the other hand, all of these negative opinions are public and searchable, allowing
companies to prepare a response before a story gets wide coverage. Bloggers at top
companies agree that learning about and dealing with negative stories as they emerge is
smarter than waiting until they hit the newspapers or evening news shows. E.g. Dell

Driving Business Results with Social Media

There are four primary ways companies can use social media to drive business results:

By Monitoring social media, companies can track how their messages are being
interpreted in the marketplace to understand how the company is perceived and to
learn how any responses or message changes should be approached. This will also
provide valuable insight into potential threats from competitors, changing industry
trends, and customer preferences.

Monitoring also enables companies to track the evolution of known trends in order to
quantify the ones gaining the most attention and acceptance within their target
audience.

Measurement provides the quantitative reporting data on the specific issues and buzz
driving media coverage making it easy to demonstrate the impact of PR and marketing
efforts.

But social media also calls for a Discovery approach, in which companies learn what
influences are driving the internet discussions in the marketplace. From this, companies
can measure the growth of many

CASE STUDY
CASE STUDY - I Nintendo Wii

Nintendo Wii was released in North America on November 19, 2006, to lines of
enthusiasts hoping to be the first on the block to own the anticipated game console.
Consumers purchased more than one million Wii consoles in the 44 days between
the U.S. launch and year end—that was every Wii console available through retail
outlets—and high demand continued well into 2007. With the Wii debut, Nintendo
recorded the most successful, acrossthe-board holiday performance in U.S. video
game history.

Nintendo Wii’s success was, no doubt, bolstered by its sophisticated use of social media.
Wii had its own MySpace page in mid-August, 2006, three months before the release,
allowing fans to post messages, read the Wii blog and network with other Wii enthusiasts.
Videos posted on YouTube before the debut showed product demonstrations and insider
looks at available games for the new console. The Wii product page on wii.nintendo.com
also included a Wii discussion forum, Wii newsletter registration, video gallery, product
registration (allowing owners to receive exclusive member benefits) and social
bookmarking for Wii news. In Brand Intel’s “Top Video Game Console Report,” the Wii was
the most talked about gaming console, with 37 percent of the discussion share. It also
carried the highest intent to purchase and came highly recommended by consumers.
Coming up on the 2007 holiday season, the Wii is still going strong and likely to be on most
lists of this season’s hot products.

Nintendo recognizes their audience is online, reading and writing blogs, watching and
making videos, and communicating online about products. To implement some of the social
media elements Nintendo is using for the Wii, it’s first important to evaluate your audience
to create an effective strategy. Consider lifestyle, age, geography, profession and interests.
If your consumers are professionals who commute, then a podcast that can be downloaded
and listened to during travel could be the best fit for your customer base.

53
Posting video content on YouTube is a unique opportunity to improve your positions in
Google’s Universal Search results. With YouTube, consumers can visit the site, view your
video, and easily post it to their own blogs, social networking profiles, or websites. Users
can also post comments, view your profile and subscribe to videos you post. YouTube is a
great opportunity to reach a broader audience and generate buzz around new or unique
products, especially if your product has uncommon visual appeal as the Wii does. And,
when it comes to search positions, using YouTube is an ideal way to create content that is
indexable by Google. With YouTube videos often appearing with graphics in Universal
Search results, it’s an added attraction to searchers.

Learning

When your organization adds social media content to its marketing mix with the interests
and lifestyles of your customers in mind, they will likely blog about it, discussing, viewing,
and linking to your content. Therefore, when embarking on a social media plan, it’s
important that you think long-term. When you provide good content your customers enjoy,
then abandon that content, you run the risk of damaging your reputation and image. In
social media, what you take away from users can be just as important as what you give
them.

Consider how social media content will be monitored, maintained, tracked and updated.
Social media can add value to your brand and products, but it will require some on-going
work. Partnering with professionals can maximize your social media benefits, without
overloading your internal staff.

CASE STUDY – II

Barrack Obama

It was the launch of the brand ‘Barack Obama’ for the US Presidential 2008
campaign. It was started in January 2007 and was first of its king campaign in
Politics

54
 The successful campaign invited all marketers to forget all that they had learned the last 10
years and to look with a new and fresh look at Barack Obama’s strategy: It’s a New Day
people, let’s start with a fresh look today!

Most brands shout through advertising. We are cool! We are the best. Buy us!!! But modern
consumers do not believe all these shouting ads any longer. Consumers are not led by
ads. Consumers are influenced by their peers. They only buy a brand and their
products/services if their peers have written a positive review about in online. But modern
consumers have so many options, so many choices. And brand marketers try to seduce, by
shouting ads… Obama really wanted to become part of consumers, in an authentic way.
Most marketers shout at consumers via one way mass communications. Marketers have
learned to do this since the industrial revolution. Due to interactive media, consumers
started to interact with brands. Consumers started conversations about brands within blogs,
forums and social networks. At YouTube consumers started to criticize brands, their ads,
their products, their services. And the worst part of it all; brands were not even aware of
these conversations amongst peers. Marketers did not even know what was being said
about them…But Obama had seen the mistakes brands make. He tapped into online
conversations with an extended conversational tracking program; Mapping where the
conversations took place, who were the social influencers per topic/theme. By listening to
peer conversations within the social space, Obama gained great insights about consumer’s
behavior and emotions. And he tapped into these conversations in a very smart way…

Learning

Most marketers used “the internet” for shouting banner campaigns. The power of the web
was peer communications, sharing, interaction, building relationships, entertainment,
sharing opinions and more. Many marketers use broadcasted media to reach people. Many
marketers use viral videos for short campaigns. Obama embraced the long tail, and used
content to build his brand in the long term. But most marketers are only measuring online
campaigns by: hits, views, clicks, and more web analytics. With a viral that is really viral,
smart social media planning, strong seeding skills you’re viral will become a weapon of
mass affection. Most brands focus at campaigns and spend their money on media. But
their websites are awful and scare away leads immediately. Obama had noticed that the
most important part of the marketing campaign was his website!

55
The secret behind the Obama website: Great architecture and functional scope. Invest in
brand architects and functional scope before you built a very expensive website that does
not deliver your brand, marketing, communications and sales goals. Your website is your
greatest brand interaction asset. Use your website to create engagement. Invite people to
participate and create a movement of brand ambassadors. Poeple are smart and willing to
help.

CASE STUDY - III Casio Exilim

On August 28th, 2007, Casio announced the release of its Casio Exilim Digital
Cameras with
YouTube Capture mode. The Exilim is a digital still shot camera capable of taking
short MPEG4 video that is ideal for YouTube and other video sharing sites. Priced at
around $280, this camera offers great holiday sales potential with an audience that
includes millions of online video enthusiasts.

The target consumers for the Exilim are online video enthusiasts—watchers and makers—
who are immersed in online social media. Casio is an established multi-channel merchant
and a well-known name in electronics. With this product, we found that Casio is succeeding
in social media, while falling short on direct retail sales. Specifically, the company created a
website for the Exilim (http://exilim.casio.com/) filled with video content to communicate,
among other things, how well Casio does video. Included is video of the product, an
interactive product timeline and a demonstration video of the YouTube capture mode. Here
you can register your Exilim, get downloads and see all of the available accessories. Casio
is not yet utilizing blogs, discussion boards, or user-generated content, but they have gone
far beyond their major competitors’ social networking efforts.

Casio, however, has missed the boat on their retail sales. The Exilim can be purchased
directly from Casio at my.casio.com, but there is no link to my.casio.com from the Exilim
product site, nor does my.casio.com appear in a “where to buy” search on the Exilim site.

Learning

Learn from Casio. When creating any social media content, don’t forget the sale. What
features and benefits will most induce a prospect to buy? Is your product unique in design
or function? If yes, then a video ‘tour’ would work well. Do your customers often email or

56
call with product questions or concerns? Then a blog or message board where you can
answer questions would be a good fit. Are your customers curious, but busy? In that case,
convert your online videos to podcasts they can download and play later. And always,
unlike Casio, make your product easy to buy.

Tutorials for customers can be a great way to create an ongoing relationship with your
customer. You can post ‘how-to’ articles relating to some of your products, or on subjects
relevant to your customer and your business. Invite customers to sign up for online
‘classes,’ which can be easily created to accommodate different skill levels. By doing this,
your organization can build customer confidence in you and your products, as well as take
steps toward cementing a lasting relationship.

The Casio example reiterates a theme vital to online marketing integration. The best social
media efforts work better when woven into an overall marketing strategy, where each
element supports the next. Casio offers considerable information in an enticing video
format, but does not connect with their company website or sales network. To be most
effective, social media should serve as another integrated entry point for your sales
process.

CASE STUDY – IV

Dell Computer

It all started with a post. June 21, 2005

“I just got a new Dell laptop and paid a fortune for the four-year, in-home service.The
machine is a lemon and the service is a lie. I'm having all kinds of trouble with the
hardware: overheats, network doesn't work, maxes out on CPU usage. “

And there was no stop to it…it gained momentum…and even more momentum…
leading to dedicated haters

The whole thing started with one post. I t was followed another, then there were many.
DELL HELL was started. It ruined the sales of Dell computers. The only reason was, Dell
didn’t update themselves with the internet proceeding. It all happened without the knowhow
of dell. When they realized it was too late.

57
Dell learned fast, they opened their blog Direct2dell, which answers all the queries and
problems about anything and everything about the dell laptops. It was followed by Dell Idea
Storm, a collaborative blogging site where one can give their own ideas and discuss about
general technology, computers etc. They blogging was internal as well as external for the
overall development of the company and its image. The whole exercise took 3 years to be
back on track.

Learning

This case study gives us (companies) a good reason to be updated with the happening of
the social networking sites. Blogging and forums are the new influencers of today. They are
the lightening to a fire forest. They form the root of the brand image. One needs to keep a
track of this for a successful outcome.

CASE STUDY – V iPod

Touch

Credit Apple’s marketing genius for making its latest generation of iPods, the iPod
Touch, this season’s likely best-seller in the personal electronics category. Launched
on September 5th, 2008 the new generation of iPod incorporates the touch screen
seen on the iPhone, and many of the same display and interactive features including
Wi-Fi wireless networking and browsing. It’s an iPhone without the phone. With
many of iPhone’s popular features and a starting price of $299, it’s no wonder the
iPod Touch is generating a lot of attention.

Apple highlights the new iPod Wi-Fi and YouTube features, on their website. Not
surprisingly, in September, the iPod Touch product page was listed among the top
performers for its use of social media. Featured are plenty of videos, including the keynote
address by Steve Jobs announcing the iPod Touch release, video introductions to iPod
Touch software and a guided video tour of its features. This video content contributes to
Apple’s strong Universal Search positioning on Google, while providing a popular source
for video sharing sites.

Apple’s site also includes a “Hot News” section with information on the top downloads in
iTunes and downloadable information for each of Apple’s products. Apple takes no chances

58
here. RSS feeds are available for iPod and iTunes. Generally, Apple utilizes the social
networking systems and hardware it helped to popularize as a means to demonstrate and
further sell its own products.

Learning

Social media is now a vital element when releasing a new product. It can draw customers
to your site, explain and exhibit unique features and benefits, answer questions and
generate word-of-mouth sales. As Apple has demonstrated, video ‘tours’ are particularly
effective when integrated with video press events. The same content can be repurposed for
a multitude of applications. RSS feeds are also a great way to keep customers informed
and automatically updated.

When incorporating social media into your marketing mix, remember a few key lessons that
Apple.com and the iPod Touch have taught us. First, make sure your social media features
are placed intuitively, making them easier to find within your site. If visitors can’t find it, or
have to search too hard, they won’t participate. Second, make sure to accelerate your
social media efforts as your business grows. Customers will expect more from you. If your
website expands or is redesigned, expand and redesign your blogs, discussion boards and
social tagging opportunities. Add video content, podcasts, images and customer feedback
elements that will build on (and improve) your social media content.
