Introduction I have been tasked with researching the totality of creating an online presence for our company and figuring out how to drive marketing and advertising in a way that compliments our offline presence while creating a atmosphere online for selling our products. Over the past year a survey was done with small businesses and the outcomes were amazing: of businesses that sell online, 64 percent said the internet has increased their revenues or sales; 48 percent felt the internet helped to expand their geographic reach in the United States; and 73 percent saved money by decreasing administrative costs. In doing this I was tasked with finding the advantages vs disadvantages of marketing online, the impact to the company, and the requirements for a successful online marketing campaign.

...INTRODUCTION The Electronic commerce or e-Commerce as is known today evolved as businesses (end to end process) started to shift from real time market to digital market. All of the business today as we see is done over the internet and anything which is not there is meant to be wiped off. Ecommerce, the online shopping system has brought down political and physical barriers giving everyone in the world an equal playing ground for their market, everyone can put their products on sale through the e-stores (website dedicated to selling of product, a virtual store). Online shopping has ushered in a new era in the lives of young college- and office-goers. They end up buying all their necessary and not-so necessary items from online sites. With the options of cash-on-delivery, these sites have become all the more acceptable to many people. Online shopping or online retailing is a form of electronic commerce whereby consumers directly buy goods or services from a seller over the Internet without an intermediary service. An online shop, eshop, e-store, Internet shop, webshop, webstore, online store, or virtual store evokes the physical analogy of buying products or services at a bricks-and-mortar retailer or shopping centre. The process is called business-to-consumer (B2C) online shopping. When a business buys from another business it is called business-to-business (B2B) online shopping.

...TRADIGITAL MARKETING Submitted by: Rahul Singh Shubhankar Som Shivi Shrivastava Sathya Saurabh Sharma Saurabh Tirpude WHAT IS MARKETING? Marketing is the process of planning, designing, pricing and distributing ideas, goods and services in order to satisfy customer needs and generate revenue and make profit. To quote the American Marketing Association's definition, it is "an organizational function and a set of processes for creating, communicating and delivering value to customers and for managing customer relationships in ways that benefit the organization and its stakeholders" Diluting all the verbosity, it melts down to one simple word “SELLING”!! This is the prime purpose behind any kind of marketing. The "selling" is accelerated with the help of properly chalked out plans called marketing strategies. With "selling" as the ultimate goal, marketing strategies are influenced by two basic factors: 1) Acquisition of customers; 2) Retention of the acquired customers. So every other strategy that is laid out will focus on the above two. A Company has to work closely towards achieving these two to attain the desired cutting edge over its competitors. There are also a few other objectives like creating awareness (informational and educational) about the product, brand-building and accelerating sales. CONCEPT OF TRADITIONAL MARKETING: With the world changing at every nanosecond, marketing is also...

Viability in an online market ABCveggies Today ABCveggies is an independent, organic farm, currently operating out of a warehouse located in the north end of Sarasota, FL since early 2009. The unique feature of ABCveggies is that the produce is grown on the roof of a warehouse located in a light industrial zone. ABCveggies is dedicated to the following principals: • Sustainable organic gardening • Feeding families • Education, and • Earning a living The business consists of a vertical grow system installed on the rooftop of the warehouse and has in place 200 poles, each with 6 stryofoam buckets, capable of growing at least 4 plants each, for a total minimum capacity of 4800 plants. The owner has an additional 5 acres of land available for installation of vertical grow systems, but doesn’t want to develop it ahead of a customer base to purchase the produce. While the owner has been operating the rooftop farm successfully since 2009, there is still not a very strong customer base. In order to expand the business and to develop a customer base consisting of substantial proportion of repeat clientele, the owner has decided to expand the online presence of the business. In order to determine the best design...

...appearing a bit more concise. Note that the definitions make several points: * A main objective of marketing is to create customer value. * Marketing usually involves an exchange between buyers and sellers or between other parties. * Marketing has an impact on the firm, its suppliers, its customers, and others affected by the firm’s choices. * Marketing frequently involves enduring relationships between buyers, sellers, and other parties. * Processes involved include “creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings.” Delivering customer value. The central idea behind marketing is the idea that a firm or other entity will create something of value to one or more customers who, in turn, are willing to pay enough (or contribute other forms of value) to make the venture worthwhile considering opportunity costs. Value can be created in a number of different ways. Some firms manufacture basic products (e.g., bricks) but provide relatively little value above that. Other firms make products whose tangible value is supplemented by services (e.g., a computer manufacturer provides a computer loaded with software and provides a warranty, technical support, and software updates). It is not necessary for a firm to physically handle a product to add value—e.g., online airline reservation systems add value by (1) compiling information about available...

A technical reality, major parts of the information super highway are under construction all over the US (1994).” During the digital revolution of the last decade, modern humanity has experienced a shift in traditional media consumption habits, which is now culminating with mobile technology. In examining the emerging mobile landscape, two things are increasingly apparent. One, mobile technology is heading into uncharted territories. Two, this is happening at unprecedented rates.

...1. Primary research vs Secondary research 104 Primary data are data freshly gathered for a specific purpose or for a specific research Project. Primary research is research that's tailored to a company's particular needs. By customizing tried-and-true approaches — focus groups, surveys, field tests, interviews or observation — you can gain information about your target market. Primary research delivers more specific results than secondary research, which is an especially important consideration when you're launching a new product or service. In addition, primary research is usually based on statistical methodologies that involve sampling as little as 1 percent of a target market. This tiny sample can give an accurate representation of a particular market. But professional primary research can be pricey Secondary data are data that were collected for another purpose and already exist somewhere. You can find much of this kind of information in local libraries or on the Web, but books and business publications, as well as magazines and newspapers, are also great sources Although secondary research is less expensive and fast than primary research, it's not as accurate, or as useful, as specific and customized research. 2.
