 1.4 Marketing Mix
The marketing mix, often referred to as the 4Ps, is a framework used to describe the key components

how well their services meet the needs and expectations of their target customers.

In addition to the traditional 4Ps, many marketers also include additional Ps, such as People, Processes,
and Physical Evidence (for service-based businesses), to better define their marketing strategy.
Website Makers would need to consider these elements as well, especially if they want to provide
excellent customer service and maintain a competitive edge in the web design and development
industry.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

23
 3.1Research methodology

The exploratory research is designed to allow an investigator to basically look around with respect to some
phenomenon, with the aim to develop suggestive ideas (Reynolds, 1971). This study is exploratory in nature
and includes both quantitative and qualitative analysis. As a purpose of this study (critical review), data have
been collected on all India basis. The secondary data & information have been analyzed for preparing this paper
extensively. The secondary data & information have been collected from different scholars and researchers,
published e-books, articles published in different journals, periodicals, conference papers, working paper,
company websites for annual reports & CSR activity reports and their internal newsletters. The company related
data and information are used which is available Publicly on the websites of the companies. This is the
best/standard practice for research which is a critical review type.
With digital marketing, you have the ability to
engage with your ideal customer base on a deeper level than other methods, directing your
efforts to your target customers gaining a truer understanding of their needs and how you
can provide the best service for them. When it comes to conducting market research, there
are two forms of data: primary and secondary research.

Types of Primary Research Methods

Primary market research begins and ends with your business. This includes all the information gathered directly
from your own company. This can include questionnaires, social media engagement and personal interactions
that your business engages with their customers. A third-party may be beneficial as they have an objective
outlook on your industry and will simply report the results.

Types of Secondary Research Methods

When conducting market research, using information gathered by other companies in a similar
industry can save you time and money. You will not have to personally conduct the research yourself

Some industries or products may exhibit seasonality, which can affect the timing and
interpretation of sales and marketing data.
