CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION ABOUT THE SECTOR:-

The Internet has opened up new opportunities for companies to market and

sell their products online. In the early days of Internet marketing and still

some of the more widely used methods are Pop-ups and Banners. Earlier

research and academic studies have proven these methods of being

perceived as irritating and more or less ignored. With this in mind, marketers

have been searching to find new and alternative ways of marketing, in

addition to the traditional methods. Eventually, when the trend of blogs and

communities began growing, so did the companies interests towards them.

Because of the new possible forms of marketing online, and due to the

companies increasing effort of receiving better value regarding their

advertisement budget, the purpose of this thesis is to examine if marketing

on sites such as blogs and communities are more positively perceived upon

among Internet users. In some cases, this has been examined in relation to

the more traditional means of online marketing. Furthermore, we examined

whether or not the tailoring of advertisements had more effect on users, and

if there were any differences in the general perception of blog- and

community advertisements among male and female consumers. The

empirical data needed was gathered quantitatively through an online survey,

RAMAIAH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MBA (II) MKU 2008-10 Page 2 of


61
based on the consumer point of view of this matter.

As it became difficult to attain any response from

users of Internet blogs, the study became more focused on communities and

forums. The survey was placed on three communities within current areas of

interest; Home electronics, Sports and

training, and Family life. Furthermore, a conceptualization was made out of

the theoretical chapter, and was used for the analyzing of the data. The

results indicate that a majority of the respondents are more positive towards

advertisements on blogs and communities, as well as customized

advertisements within these mediums. It was further found that these

advertisements did not disrupt the surfer’s flow as much as traditional

mediums. The findings also show that a majority of the respondents are

aware of online advertisements in general, and just as many have developed

a dislike towards them. However, the male respondents have a more positive

view of advertisements on blogs and communities, than the female. The

same finding appeared in regard to tailored ads; while male consumers

consider these as more acceptable, the female respondents have an

indifferent opinion. To the question of why advertisement on these mediums

were more regarded upon, the most common response was due to these ads

being considered as more related to their interests.

ITES Industry

It started with the onset of globalization in India during the early 1990s. The Indian

government initiated strategic economic reforms aimed at laying a strong foundation - a

firm stage for liberalization and privatization. Part of this initiative included the process of

promoting India as a major destination for the ITES sector. This has finally paid off.

ITES:

ITES refers to Information technology enabled services. BPO or Business process

outsourcing is the arm of ITES, which facilitates delivery of services through the use of

information technology. ITES services are diverse in nature. It's easier to understand by

segregating it as customer interactive services and back office operations for remote

customers. India based service providers can deliver services in diverse areas such as

finance, HR, administration, healthcare, telecommunication and manufacturing. Services

ranging from customer care, call centers and claims processing to medical transcription,

HR hiring, biotech research, Web sales/marketing and back-office operations such as

RAMAIAH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MBA (II) MKU 2008-10 Page 4 of


61
accounting, data processing, and data mining harness the

power of IT. However, it necessitates transfer of ownership

and management of the process from the customer (offshore) to India-based service

provider in order to deliver service to remote areas through telecom and Internet medium.

Sensing its advantages, host of fortune 500 and fortune 1000 businesses of all sizes have

set up their own BPO units or have outsourced to Indian firms to reap the advantages of

this.

1.2 INDUSTRY PROFILE:-

a. ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE INDUSTRY:

The internet as we know it took off during the early 1990s, when the World

Wide Web (WWW) protocol was invented, and has since then become

incorporated as the backbone of advanced economies such as North America

and major parts of Europe and Asia. Around 1.3 billion people were

estimated to use the Internet at the end of 2007 (Internet world stats, 2008).

In relation to the world’s population, this gives 20 % as a total amount of the

world’s Internet users. While the less developed countries show a very low

RAMAIAH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MBA (II) MKU 2008-10 Page 5 of


61
percentage, the developed countries have shown a

120 % annual growth in Internet use during the past

seven years (Internet world stats, 2008). Ever since the creation of the

Internet, the world of business has changed greatly with a redefinition in

areas like marketing and customer relations (Taylor quoted in Wright, 2006).

This medium opened up the doors for the conditions of conducting business

through electronic methods. The growth of the internet eventually lead to

hundreds of thousands of companies setting up shops online, gaining

millions of consumers worldwide as their customers. In the early days, the

average computer user might not have been able to use the Internet as we

use it today. With the arrival of easy-to- use web browsers, this medium went

from being an advanced, text-oriented, and specialized application into a

massive multimedia tool on a global scale. Some early speculators like Hein

and Rich (1997) quoted in Goldsmith and Lafferty

(2002) suggested that advertising on this medium would be more effective

due to its interactive nature. At that time, the most used marketing channels

were banner advertisements. Although the Internet users click through-rate

of this marketing method went from 30 % in 1994 to 0.3 % in 2002, marketers

still spent many billions of dollars each year on Internet advertising with

banners (Goldsmith and Lafferty, 2002).

b. GROWTH AND PRESENT STATUS OF THE INDUSTRY:-

The on line marketing is passing through the best situation in its history.

This is due to the combination of long term changes, such as growing

diversity of information technology and the arrival of new or updated

technology, notably the Internet. Consumers have become better informed

than ever before, with the result that some of the traditional methods of

doing marketing and buying the products have become obsolete. The present

RAMAIAH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MBA (II) MKU 2008-10 Page 7 of


61
philosophy of lifestyle and online marketing process

both have become indispensable today. The whole

western corporate industry people as well as Indian high profile society

believe in the same philosophy followed by the on line industry. Though the

nature of industry is changing day by day due to certain unavoidable forces

like fast life, increased competition, globalization, IT revolution etc. The past

15 years have witnessed major changes in the marketing industry and its

process of execution. Every day some new techniques come out or a new

process starts to serve the consumers in masterly fashion. Today there is a

lot of independent service proving companies are there which have no

relation with production and other related activity but they are very famous

for on line marketing service provider, like Amazon.com, msn etc. These all

are such agencies which play a role of mediator between company and client

and facilitate the on line marketing. These all situations with faster

communication and timely delivery system have proved on line marketing the

best marketing process around the world.

c. FUTURE OF THE INDUSTRY:-

RAMAIAH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MBA (II) MKU 2008-10 Page 8 of


61
Reflecting on future prospects in online marketing,

immediate focus has to be on the changing nature of

technologies, taste and preferences, fast life etc. prove it that a glorious

future is waiting for it. While concentrating on improvements in the system

there are abundance of new technologies, software’s and other tools to make

it more and more attractive to make a grand appearance among the

consumers. Due to having the appropriate pricing, quality of service, financial

inclusion and other facilities the industry has a prosperous future. The

Internet, website, blog and portals have given a new dimension to the on line

marketing, the combination of all the services in our country as well as all

around the world has proved a track record in the field of latest services

provided to the customers and professionals, which have lent it considerable

credibility - both domestically and globally. This credibility enables the

industry to confidently carry the reforms forward to credibly maintain price

and quality of services, while enabling self-accelerating equitable growth at

elevated levels. The Indian consumers are said to be the 25 percent of the

respondents. Given the increased competition, and the implementation of new

and updated technologies in the near future, the industry of the country has

been showing the better response, said the survey. A majority of the

corporate employees, business persons and other such person who are not

having enough time to visit market physically prefer to go with the on line

marketing only. These all situations have provided a tremendous opportunity

to the on line marketing. In order to maintain the opportunity availability the

industry should focus on not only the quantity of the services but also on the

quality of the services.

How will working with Globals be cheaper?

While it’s true that a talented programmer in the US will be in the higher range, the actual

cost to company for every employee is substantially more. In addition to the salary, every

company needs to make other statutory payments for each employee. In addition, for each

role, there will be other infrastructure costs such as hardware, software, utility and space

costs that get added as overheads.

In the case of our team of programmers, you will not require all services on a continuous

basis. In a typical project, the analysis, architecture and design takes up approximately

15% of the time in terms of effort and costs approximately 20% of the total cost, project

management takes up approximately 20% of effort and 28% of cost, and development and

testing takes the remaining 65% effort and 52% of the cost.

On the whole, a 12 man month project that would take approximately a year for your

programmer in the US (costing you about $100,000) can be completed in about 6 months

by a team in India, and at an approximate total cost of $25,000.

This training has helped me a lot in understanding the outside world (i.e

convince them.

█ It helped me in improving my communication skills, presentation skills and

and job

█ Initially it took some time to understand the process of sales opening and

4.3 RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY

SOURCE OF DATA

The source of data is divided in to two types:

a) Primary data and

b) Secondary data

Primary data are the first hand data collected from the customers directly. It is original in

nature and is collected by the researcher.

The method used to collect the primary data was Survey Method. The survey method

includes a structured questionnaire that was given to the respondent or the customers.

RAMAIAH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES MBA (II) MKU 2008-10 Page 33


of 61
Secondary data are the data, which are already available and

can be used for research. These data are the data, which has

been collected and compiled in advance for another purpose.

Sources of data

Primary – Questionnaire, Secondary – Company database and books.

Sample Size

The sample is the sub set of the universe of which we want to do the study. We cannot do

the study of the entire universe so we collect the data from the small sample, which is

chosen randomly, but it should represent the universe so that we can get the optimum

response out of it. We interpret our database of the response from such sample.

In my case sample size is 100 customers or respondent.

opting the services provided by the company for marketing business.

Though the no. of ‘yes’ is more than three times less than the no. of ‘no’.

But one - fourth acceptance is also not a bad sign for a company which has

entered the market just three years back and it can be converted in to 100%

by providing quality of services.
