Review of Literature
Nina Koiso-Kanttila(9/Aug/2010)
Purely digital products are increasingly part of the commercial landscape. Technology-
facilitated environments in general have received considerable attention in the literature on
marketing. This article reviews the existing knowledge base on digital products and the
differences these products suggest for marketing activities. It first positions digital content
in relation to other offerings, then further analyzes the marketing implications with an
adjusted marketing mix framework. The key characteristics of the digital content identified
are information recombination, accessibility, navigation interaction, speed, and essentially
zero marginal cost.

3) DIGITAL AND SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING USAGE IN B2B
INDUSTRIAL SECTION.
JÄRVINEN, JOEL(2012)
This study contributes to the emerging B2B digital marketing literature by providing a
realistic overview of the usage, measurement practices, and barriers surrounding digital
marketing in the era of social media. Investigating 145 B2B firms from various industries
reveals that despite the interest in social media, companies continue to focus on one-
directional communications with established digital tools. Furthermore, the results indicate
that the advances in digital measurement tools remain largely unexploited, and the firms
lack the human resources and know-how to make the most of opportunities provided by the
developing digital environment. The implications of the study suggest that B2B companies
should update their capabilities with respect to digital marketing usage and measurement in
order to adapt current practices to fit the characteristics of today's digital media landscape.

5) Facebook: A literature review
Ralf Caers, Tim De Feyter, Marijke De Couck
First Published September 11, 2013
This article provides a critical review of scientific, peer reviewed, articles on Facebook
between 2006 and 2012. The review shows that while there are yet numerous articles on
various aspects of the social media network site, there are still many gaps to be filled.
Also, due to the limited scope of many articles (in sample sizes as well as in the number
of countries included in the farming) and frequent changes to Facebook’s design and
features, it is not only necessary to revisit many of these articles but also to integrate
their research findings. The review ends with a critical discussion and directions for
future research.

8) Marketing on the Internet — who can benefit from an online marketing
approach?
As the Internet develops into a robust channel for commerce, it will be important to
understand the characteristics of electronic markets. Businesses, consumers, government
regulators, and academic researchers face a variety of questions when analyzing these
nascent markets. Will electronic markets have less friction than comparable conventional
markets? What factors lead to dispersion in Internet prices? What are the major electronic
commerce developments to watch in the coming years? This paper addresses these
questions by reviewing current academic research, discussing the implications of this
research, and proposing areas for future study.
This paper aims to draw attention to the emerging phenomenon of business to business
(B2B) digital content marketing, offers a range of insights and reflections on good
practice and contributes to theoretical understanding of the role of digital content in
marketing. B2B digital content marketing is an inbound marketing technique and hence
offers a solution to the declining effectiveness of traditional interruptive marketing
techniques.

In today’s technology driven world, social media networking sites have become an avenue
where retailers can extend their marketing campaigns to a wider range of consumers and
can explores the product. Chi (2011, 46) defines social media marketing as a “connection
between brands and consumers, [while] offering a personal channel and currency for user
centered networking and social interaction.”

14) The Effects of the Social Structure of Digital Networks on Viral Marketing
Performance
In today’s highly informational and technological world the word digital has become very
much familiar and an absolute essential part of life. Now when it comes to Digital
Marketing the world around has changed the mind set for traditional marketing
environment and is in the process of accepting the conversion of real world into virtual
world. In this research, the researcher has tried to elucidate the concept of digital marketing,
why digital marketing is significant, how digital market functions, and to explore benefits
of the same. This research is a descriptive one and is based on secondary information. This
research is useful for the academicians, students and industrialists in order to accustom
them with the notion of digital marketing.

Limitations of the study:
The marketer will not be able to use personal interaction to influence the audience as
the marketing is completely based on the advertisement and the information that the
advertisement might lead to (websites, blogs and other channels).
One of the challenges that Internet marketers face (as does the general public) is that
many internet products are outright scams or promoted with deception making it
difficult to know which one is worth buying. This is especially the case with products
that are supposed to train or aid Internet marketers in making money.
The sample size is limited to 100 Internet users hence the result of the study
cannot be taken as universal.
Findings of the survey are based on the assumption that the respondents have
given correct information.
Since the respondents had to fill the questionnaire while busy with their hectic
schedule, many people were reluctant to answer.
The study was conducted only in Bangalore City and therefore, several other
potential samples outside the city were neglected

Theoretical Background of the Study
INTRODUCTION TO MARKETING:
The development of marketing is evolutionary rather than revolutionary. There is no single
answer to the question of what is marketing? To understand; it may be explained in brief, as
marketing is what a marketer does. But this meaning lacks clarity in understanding the
subject. It is one of the oldest professions in the world. As any other subject, it has its own
origin, Growth and development. Marketing is a human activity directed at satisfying needs
and wants through exchange process.
GENERAL INTRODUCTION
1. Meaning of the term – ‘MARKET’
E.J. Mc Cart/W.D. Petrel has defined market as a group of sellers and buyers who are
willing to exchange goods and services of some value. Of course, some negotiation may be
needed. This can be made face to face at physical Location, or it can be done indirectly
through a complex network of middlemen who link buyers and sellers who are far apart.
2. Definition of ‘MARKETING’
H.L. Hansen has defined marketing as the process of discovering and translating
consumer wants into product and service, specification and then in turn helping to make it
possible for more of these products and services.
Institute of Marketing (U.K) has defined marketing as the management functions
which organizes and directs all those business activities involved in assessing and
converting customer’s purchasing power into effective demand for a specific products or
services and in moving the product or service to the final consumer or user so as to achieve
the profit target and objectives set by a company.
Marketing is the father of innovation and product development, promoter of the
entrepreneurial talent, development of economy, stimuli of consumption and higher
standards of living and guardian of price system.
18 | P a g e
All these definition reveal,
Marketing is a process of exchange.
Movements of goods from production point to consumption point.
Product planning and product development.
Advertising and Marketing research.
Creating time utility, place utility, from utility and possession utility.
Emphasis in people and wants rather than products.
It is the connecting link between the producers and consumers.
Importance of Marketing:
In this existing age of change, marketing is the beating heart of many operations. It must be
considered a principle reason for a corporate existence. The modern concept of marketing
recognizes its role as a direct contribution to profits, as well as sales volumes.
Marketing has even greater importance and significance for the society as a whole than for
any of the individual beneficiaries of the marketing process and can be express follows.
The nation’s income is really composed, not of money, but one of the goods and services
which money can buy. Any increase in the efficiency of the marketing process which
results in lower costs of distribution and lowers the prices to customers really brings about
an increase in the national income. Marketing process brings new varieties quality and
beneficial good to the customers. A wealth of merchandise can be purchased at retail stores
which are not available previously. If thus, providers link between the productions and
consumption. Scientific marketing has a stabilizing effect on the price level. Producers
produce when consumers want. Marketing adds the value of goods by changing their time
and place of consumption. It add value to service. Example: business, medical services.
19 | P a g e
MARKETING PROCESS
Marketing process refers to a series of operations culminating in the performance of
a task. Marketing is dynamic process in the movement of goods from producers to the
consumer. In this movement of good are 3 important processes.
1. The process of concentration
2. The process of dispersion
3. The process of equalization
1. The process of Concentration
20 | P a g e
MARKETING MIX
Marketing Mix is the set of controllable marketing variables that the firm blends to
produces the response it wants in the target market. The variables can be collected into
four groups known as “4P’s”. These “4P’s” are:
1. PRODUCT MIXES - Product is the thing possessing utility. It has four components
:
Product Range
Service after sale
Brand
Package
2. PRICE MIX - Price is the valuation placed upon the product by the offered. It has to
cover pricing, discounts, allowances and terms of credit. It deals with price
competition.
3. PLACE MIX - Place stands for the various company activities that make the
product available to target customer. It includes the channel members like
wholesalers and retailers, the coverage, the locations, the inventory and transport
of the product.
4. PROMOTION MIX - Promotion is the persuasive communication about the product
by the offered to the prospect. It covers advertising, personal selling, sales
promotion, publicity, public relation used in promotion. Largely it deals with non-
price competition. 1
A company must decide on the budget to spend on the marketing effort and how to allocate
the budget to the major marketing mix tools. The positioning of the product provides the
basis for designing a coordinated marketing mix.

History of DIGITAL MARKETING
Advertising has faithfully served the print industry for 200 years, and was applied to
the Internet with every expectation of success. Web advertising began with Center
and Siegegl’s in famous Green Card Lottery message on the Usenet site in April 1994
and was followed in October by advertising placements for AT&T, MCI, Sprint, and
Volvo on Hot-wired and finally the idea caught on. The Advertisement grew in
sophistication, and today there are Static, rotating, scrolling, animated, flash and
interstitial banner ads all which are designed to generate traffic, increase brand
awareness and generate leads and sales.
Internet companies were founded on advertising revenues, and for some years the
companies prospered.
Rate depended on: -
22 | P a g e
3. Targeted messages - Unlike broadcast and print media, the Internet allows
advertisers to target exactly who will see their ads, and in what context. Web
publications serve every conceivable audience, from the mass- market obscure niche
groups. Beyond that, the technology leads target customers by their computing
platform (PCs or Macintoshes), Web browser (specific versions of Netscape
Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer), domain type (. com, .edu, .gov, .mil, or
.net) or individual domains (America Online, IBM, Prodigy).
4. Broad and flexible reach - While the Net cannot yet match television's
market penetration, the size of the online audience is growing very quickly. More
importantly, because you buy online ads by the impression, you can buy as much or
as little of that audience as you desire. And that's true no matter how popular or
specialized the site on which your ads run- as a rule, advertising costs depend on how
many impressions you buy, not on the size of a site's audience.
5. Cost-effective - Partly because you pay only for exactly what you're
getting, online advertising can be extremely competitive with other forms of
advertising. If you buy 1,000 ad impressions, for example, you know that exactly
1,000 people will see your ad.
23 | P a g e
most important competitive advantages.
Hence Content is King Content is the most important element of a site. Content rich Web
pages lure users. The value on the web is information. The beauty and challenge of the
Web is that it gives the user, the ability to personalize non-static information and choose
exactly what she sees.
24 | P a g e
25 | P a g e
Unlike commercials or print ads, a Web ad banner is only the beginning of
the process. While your banner may present only your branding message, interested
prospects can always click on it to go directly to your Web site. Once there, they can
access as much material on your company and products as you care to present.
Graphics & the visual elements also play an important role in the users
decision to stay or leave. Use of creative concepts, colors, movement & sound
enhance the chances of the user staying longer on the site.
In addition to all this the creators of web sites & on line advertising must take
into consideration the factors like
a) How fast does the site download,
d) What are the other publicity & advertising activities which building traffic
to the site?
If all such parameters are considered while selecting the web sites for online
advertising, the impact of such advertising will definitely be felt. Online advertising is
one medium, which helps to generate awareness about the brand being advertised, it
can help in creating an image, it helps in educating the audience and also builds
interactivity & direct response. No other traditional medium has the ability to give all
of this.
We are still at the experimental stage but many clients have already started
allocating a budget towards online advertising & web is being considered not only as
an advertising medium but also as a marketing tool. Hence online advertising, though
slow to take off, will definitely be a medium of the future.
26 | P a g e
Advantages of Online Advertisement
27 | P a g e
6. Exposure: - For many seller companies with limited budget the www
(world wide web) enables them to gain exposure to potential customers that
heretofore would have been impossible. For a function of the investment that would
be required using traditional media, companies can gain national and even
international exposure in a timely manner.
Disadvantages of Internet
1. Measurement problem: - One the greatest disadvantage of the net is the lack
of reliability of the research numbers generate. A Quick review of forecasts, audience
profiles, and other statistics offered by research providers will demonstrate a great
deal of variance leading to a serious lack of validity and reliability. One of the
industry's largest and most sited trade publication has written an expose of a heavily
sited Internet research company, referring to the number it provides as "scary"
feathers have stressed concern over the fact that most sites figures or not audited,
which mainly to rampant cheating in the respect of the number reported.
28 | P a g e
3. Web Snarl: - At times, downloading information from the net takes a long
time. When there are a number of users, the time increasing and some Sites may be
inaccessible due to too many visitors. For many users who expect speed, this is a
major disadvantage.
4. Costs: - The cost of doing business on the MAT continues to increase. While
it is possible to establish a site in expensively, establishing a good side and
maintaining it is becoming more and more costly. As noted earlier , Levi’s for the
cost of maintaining a site is considered "world-
Class " was prohibitive and one of the reason for abandoning its E-commerce efforts.
6. Poor reach: - While the Internet numbers are growing in leaps and bounds, its
six is still far behind that of television. As a result, interest companies have turned to
traditional medium to achieve reach and awareness goals. In addition statistics says
that only a small percentage of sites on the Internet are captured and that the top 50
sites listed account for 95 percent of the site visited.
7. Language: - If I am selling the goods through the media the buyer prefer to
get the information of the products or services with his own language but the
advertiser has no option than to advertise in one single language which is a major
disadvantage.

Suggestions
Offer your web site in multiple languages. Like many sites come in Dutch,
Spanish, Slovene, French, Czech, German, Russian, and Italian. Translation service
on websites is also good which will help retain customers.
Use of multi-media
As we have seen the potential for banner and Internet ads, informative and
creative ads are also preferred therefore new designs and innovative sales concepts
should be developed. Obviously, the biggest bridge to cross is download time. If a
little radio-like audio message that plays from your site upon a click of mouse or a
T.V-mini commercial that plays at your banner on click of a mouse, it will be much
more effective and interesting.
Interactive banner designs can be used wherein the client can print out a
product sheet from the banner itself, order a product through a secured order form on
the banner itself, click which button he prefer and be directed to a specialized product
marketing page.

Target Audience
Keep target audience in mind. Business people aren't going to have the time or
inclination to participate in game-type ads. On the other hand, teenagers love them. If
target group is younger people, games might be the thing for you. Design your ad to
meet the preferences of your target customer.
Include statistics
As you surf the Web take note of information that supports advertising claims.
Surveys, research, reports, testimonials, etc. can all provide valuable information that
could move a customer from the point-of- decision to the point- of-purchase.
