  • Chapter 1:- INTRODUCTION
    Chapter 1:- INTRODUCTION How significant is Internet marketing to businesses? Today, the answer to this question varies dramatically for different products and markets. For companies such as electronics equipment manufacturer Cisco (www.cisco.com), the answer is ‗very significant‘ – Cisco now gains over 90% of its multi-billion dollar global revenue online. It also conducts many of its other business processes such as new product development and customer service online. Similarly, easy Jet (www.easyjet.com), the low-cost European airline gains 90% of its tickets sales online and aims to fulfil the majority of its customer service requests via the Internet. However, the picture is quite different for the manufacturers of high-involvement purchases such as cars or fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) brands. Here the impact is less significant – the majority of their consumer sales still occur through traditional retail channels. However, the influence cannot be described as insignificant any longer since the Internet is becoming increasingly important in influencing purchase decisions - many new car purchasers will research their purchase online, so manufacturers need to invest in Internet marketing to persuade customers of the features and benefits of their brands. The FMCG manufacturer finds that consumers are spending an increasing proportion of their time on the Internet and less time using other media so the Internet has become an effective way of reaching its target markets. The Internet can be used to increase the frequency and depth of interactions with the brand, particularly for brand loyalists who are the advocates of these brands. For example, drinks brand Tango (www.tango.com) uses competitions and games on its web site to encourage interactions of the consumer with the brand.
