Internet Marketing

What is Internet Marketing?

As the term implies, Internet Marketing also known as eMarketing, Online Marketing, Web-Marketing, Google Marketing or i-marketing literally means Marketing of YOUR services/products on the Internet. Having said that, it is easier said than done.

The Internet is the new “Land of Opportunity” but it comes with its own set of rules. Best use of this platform is a goldmine of business opportunities that doesn’t know limits to financial returns or geographical boundaries. A home-based, small-scale business could become a global brand by using the right Marketing Strategies.

Internet Marketing is not limited to creating YOUR website..
Website is just an aspect of Internet marketing, but it includes more complexities:

Step 1. Assessing YOUR online opportunities – There should be a proper estimate of what returns could be expected. This will include answers to questions like How much should be YOUR budget? What are the best locations where YOUR offering should be marketed? What are the current trends for YOUR offerings? etc..

Step 2. Designing online presence of YOUR business – Your website may have to be designed or redesigned based on the demographic (kind) of customers that YOUR product/service is bound to attract. For e.g. A complex graphics site with lot of interlinking web-pages is best used for technically savvy customers like those seeking high-end electronics goods and not in a fishing net business, (that is more likely to attract simpler folks.) (may need better example)

Step 3. Employing right Internet Marketing strategies – Website promotion, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Search Engine Marketing (SEM), Social Media Marketing (SMM – use of Facebook, Tiwtter, YouTube etc.), Google Adwords, Emali Marketing, Blogging etc.

Step 4. Monitoring and measuring the returns – Using various tools, charts, software applications to measure the impact of YOUR Marketing strategies.

Step 5. Making appropriate changes to improve returns – Based on the Monitoring reports, improvements/changes will be made to the ongoing online Marketing strategies.

Step 6. Tweaking Marketing strategy to meet latest and upcoming trends – Tracking the latest Online trends, inventions, applications, fads that are being employed by YOUR direct and indirect competitors or can be viably used by YOU to attract more customers and in turn increase Business.

Why do YOU need to do all this?

• Continuously growing customer base – For starters, the huge customer base that is growing everyday. The potential is unlimited as previously unimagined markets can be tapped at costs that were previously thought impossible. The Internet doesn’t see geographical limitations and when integrated with appropriate logistics the costs are almost equivalent to local businesses.
• Immediate changes possible to Marketing Strategies – If for any reasons YOU feel a certain marketing approach seems outdated or another would prove more effective then the changes can be effected instantly for minimal costs. This is not possible in other available media options without incurring a significant loss and sometimes even too late in the day if inability to effect critical change can damage brand reputation.
• Track Metrics easily – Monitoring of Internet Marketing results is very easy and gives instant report on effectiveness of the various strategies. This allows tweaking or making wholesale changes if required to counter competitor strategies or utilize available avenues for getting edge over the Market.
• Target Specific Audience – Internet Marketing allows YOU to target a niche group. YOU can be specific in YOUR approach and use different approach for different sets of Customers instead of the broad approach allowed by other media platform.
• Broad spectrum of Media available – Internet Marketing allows flexibility to approach YOUR customers through a varied media approach. Videos, blogs, mails, audio, social group discussions, there are limitless possibilities and these are going to evolve as technology for interaction increases.
• Direct customer interaction and conversion – Other media do not allow the direct and personalized approach with customers at a very cheap cost and customer’s comfort. For eg. A customer may put forth his grievance on YOUR website blog and YOU may respond to him personally which he can check at his convenience. It also provides a personal touch and a feeling of inclusion in “offering-development” process. Today’s customer centric markets make it essential that Internet Marketing is effectively used.
