Company Information and Background


Online marketing is the practice of leveraging web-based channels to spread a
message about a company’s brand, products, or services to its potential customers.
The methods and techniques used for online marketing include email, social media,
display advertising, search engine optimization, Google AdWords and more. The
objective of marketing is to reach potential customers through the channels where
they spend their time reading, searching, shopping, and socializing online.

Widespread adoption of the internet for business and personal use has generated new
channels for advertising and marketing engagement, including those mentioned
above. There are also many benefits and challenges inherent to online marketing,
which uses primarily digital mediums to attract, engage, and convert virtual visitors to
customers.

Online marketing differs from traditional marketing, which has historically included
mediums like print, billboard, television and radio advertisements.

Before online marketing channels emerged, the cost to market products or services
was often prohibitively expensive, and traditionally difficult to measure. Think of
national TV ad campaigns, which are measured through consumer focus groups to
determine levels of brand awareness. These methods are traditionally lso not well-
suited to controlled experimentation. Today, anyone with an online business (as well
as most offline businesses) can participate in online marketing by creating a website
and building customer acquisition campaigns at little to no cost. Those marketing
products and services also have the ability to experiment with optimization to fine-
tune their campaigns’ efficiency and ROI.

The proliferation of department stores, supermarkets and then shopping malls in the
20th century significantly changed how we shop. Instead of asking an assistant for
what we wanted, who then fetched it from the back of the store, consumers had
several products of different categories within reach, all displayed with their
respective prices, making their choice much simpler. Thanks to the internet, in the
21st century we are now witnessing a new «revolution» in consumption. Today
consumers can shop anywhere and anytime. They can also have their purchase
delivered or sent to a nearby pick-up point. This article analyses the current impact of
new digital technologies on consumption, consumers and how companies operate.

Widespread internet and smartphone use, faster internet connection speeds and the
development of new online payment methods are boosting growth in e-commerce.
Some figures help to highlight this. In China, the largest e-commerce market in the
world, 17% of retail sales are already carried out online while, in the US, internet
sales account for almost 9% of the total.1

Online shopping has also become very popular in Europe. In 2016, 55% of Europeans
bought online compared with 30% in 2007. In some EU countries e-commerce is even
more widespread (see the first chart). For instance, over 70% of people shop online in
the United Kingdom, Scandinavia and Germany. In other countries, such as Spain, the
percentage is below the European average2 although the trend is clearly upward and
growth is generalised across age groups (see the second chart).3 Since younger
generations (16-44 years) are the most «digitalised», we are likely to see exponential
growth in e-commerce in the future.

This fast consumer digitalisation is transforming all the stages in the traditional
buying process (see the diagram). Firstly, because consumers are being given an
increasingly bigger role, particularly in the initial purchase stage. Today, consumers
have a wider variety of products and services in all categories available to them,
offered at different prices. As consumers become more connected, they enjoy greater
decision-making power as they can easily compare prices and features offered by
suppliers worldwide, know more about the manufacturer or product in question and
check the opinion of other consumers before choosing a particular product or service.
e-commerce platforms are becoming increasingly important in this context. Through
these, consumers can shop anytime and anywhere. Consumers now expect this greater
convenience, demanding to be able to buy all the products and services they consume,
both online and offline, equally quickly and efficiently. Consumers also increasingly
expect to personalise more products and services, and their interactions with the brand
to be more relevant.4
But changes are also occurring in the post-purchase stage. There are now more
options open to consumers to return products they do not want and to be attended at
all times (via several channels) when they have a problem or their expectations have
not been met. They can also share their experiences regarding a product or service on
social media and review platforms, producing content for the initial stage of other
consumers.

Besides changes in the different purchasing stages, digitalisation has also led to new
consumption patterns becoming popular, such as the growing preference for accessing
goods instead of owning them. The development of digital platforms that connect
individuals and assets have helped to create online markets for the temporary use of
goods and the peer-to-peer provision of services and on-demand services, known as
the sharing economy, which undoubtedly represents a new paradigm for
consumption.5

New digital technologies are also radically transforming the business environment
from a company point of view (supply). Digitalisation has already considerably
lowered the barriers to entry in many economic sectors, with a considerable increase
in competition. The internet has also encouraged new purely digital companies
offering new ways to serve clients and pushing out more traditional business models.
Given such changes, established companies have been forced to rethink how they
operate and alter their production process to adapt to this new digital environment in
order to remain competitive.

For example, in the initial stage of the production process, the consumer is becoming
increasingly involved in product design, usually via digital platforms or by sending in
suggestions. This helps to differentiate the product and also provides the company
with greater insight regarding consumer preferences. Product development is also
improved via big data, as it helps companies to detect new market segments and
decide their pricing strategy. New digital technologies are also being used to improve
production efficiency. For instance, smart factories can adapt the production strategy
in real time using information from different points of sale (see the Dossier «Industry
4.0» in MR11/2016).
Client communication strategies have also altered considerably. Nowadays any
marketing campaign needs to use communication tools on several channels
(particularly online). Moreover, this strategy must be implemented on all channels, for
instance by using online channels to attract clients to the physical store (and vice
versa). Data analysis can also help companies to differentiate between consumer
profiles and adapt advertising to the client’s particular interests.

Digitalisation’s impact is perhaps even more evident in the sale stage, with traditional
firms now offering their products and services also on e-commerce platforms, both
their own and intermediaries’. As a result, they constantly need to improve the client
experience and make the buying process as user-friendly as possible, offering
different payment and delivery options. This represents a huge logistics challenge.
Consumers demand faster deliveries and more options to collect and return their
orders. Meeting such expectations is increasingly important to keep up with the
growing competition. Companies are also working hard to revitalise and improve the
buying process in physical stores, especially for products requiring greater interaction
and personalisation. They are starting to focus on transforming physical stores from a
traditional distribution channel to a place of consumer discovery, experience and
interaction. Another strategy employed is to create a shopping experience that unites
both online and offline channels. For instance, by giving clients the option to buy
online but pick up their purchase at the physical store (click and collect).

In short, new digital technologies are radically changing how we consume. Proof of
this is the rapid spread of e-commerce but their impact goes much further. Whether
this digital transformation achieves its full potential will depend on how certain
challenges are handled, such as the implementation of strategies to guarantee
consumers’ online security and privacy, adapting the legal framework to a rapidly
changing environment and managing the impact of new technologies on employment.

Experiences and Senses and Event Themes

Event marketing involves generating awareness of your event. The first step in the
marketing funnel is to open the eyes of your attendees and guests, so that you can
provide them with information and advice. You'll want to promote your event to bring
in the buyers and advocates. Areas you may want to include in your event marketing
strategy:
Early Bird discount (s)
Keep coming up with reasons to get folks to register beyond the initial thrill (and
register now rather than later).

You can use the ‘early bird discount here. Early bird discounts work by staggering
your ticket sales to go up in price as the event approaches. This is not at all
uncommon.

In the lead-up to the expiration of your discounts, you should develop interest and get
leads in order to boost ticket sales for spikes.

Pre-event page

Event pages don't have to be complete for early interest to be captured.

By developing a pre-event website, you may use it to drive traffic to a core page that
gathers early attention, as well as build your SEO authority with Google.

blogging

Next, you should let them know why you're having the event. This is your goal
statement. To find out why it's vital to have a mission statement or identify ‘why' you
are planning an event, watch this Simon Sinek video.

You may use this to mobilize your other pre-event marketing efforts and convince
others of the need of your event. Blog articles are better for drawing interest than
event landing pages since they are less salesy.

Social media

To gain momentum and develop community, being on social media early is crucial
(which you can link back to in your posts).

This point in time, you should have have an event hashtag and you should be using it
in your social postings.
A vast array of social media is still at your disposal. Use of the above platforms is
rather subjective; nevertheless, you should also consider Instagram, Snapchat,
Pinterest, YouTube, Tumblr, Medium, Reddit, Quora, and other platforms. This post
shares fantastic ideas on utilizing Snapchat for event promotion, to provide coupons
and promote user-generated content.

5.Partner outreach

Event marketing partnerships may be critical to your event's success, so start outreach
to complimentary companies and media partners early, before your event has begun.
This way they can assist you get the word out early on. Here are a few templates you
may use:

Thought leadership and guest posts

Blogging on your site is vital, but you must go beyond it to discover new guests.
Getting the job done most effectively is done through content creation or guest
blogging.

This again depends on your event. Conference and B2B events are quite easy for
creating an industry report or white paper that consists of conference speakers' best
suggestions.

You might use infographic materials, gifs, or other visual assets to construct engaging
visual content; develop trend reports; or produce a series of YouTube videos, or
podcasts, to catch attention.

boost your campaign revenue. To fully exploit your paid digital marketing, check out

increasing ticket sales and the number of attendees. It will help you create your brand
strategy and perhaps improve traffic to your website in the future.

Keep things simple, and try to stay objective.

exposure are saved because of this.

Personalize the introduction to every journalist and their magazine. The following will
get your press release greater exposure.
Give the event basics — this will assist journalists pick up important elements
quickly.

Find your own story perspective. An event run isn't enough. Your event is fresh,
exciting, and a first for everyone. Who is going to be there? Why is this an interesting
event/audience for you?

10. Finally, social and blog/

Your event will loom big in front of you. However, with just a couple of weeks (or
maybe just a day) to go, it is time for your last-push promotion.

This is likely to consist of more blogs, social media updates, and email blasts.

In order to encourage people to go to the event, use the concept of "social proof" and
showcase who has already committed to being there.

Your last blog articles, social media updates, and emails should now be more frantic
and sales-focused.

Attendee referrals

It is well worth looking into. Event organizers frequently overlook prospective


supporters that they have access to already.

How about inviting your previous attendees to advertise the event on your behalf?
Word of mouth is usually one of the most powerful and effective marketing
techniques. To track and manage with Eventbrite, you could even offer them referral
money.

influencer outreach
Filling last-minute positions or generating effective word-of-mouth with influencers is
a solid option. There's a strong possibility they'll be preoccupied and thus won't have
committed. Even if they did, they may or may not have remembered.

Invite them to re-engage with you and, if they are free, they will notify their network
about the event.

phone

Telesales teams are expensive, and if you have a strong inbound marketing campaign
to back them up, they will be effective.

But it doesn't stop you from picking up the phone!

Why not give those leads a call who have not yet purchased a ticket?

Would you mind helping me out? Any questions? It's tougher to ignore a phone call
than a million tweets on someone's timeline.

Time-intensive, but successful; that's a likely scenario if extra sales are required.

are interested will get them at store counters and similar venues, such as restaurants
and delis. They'll promote your event and its activities.

relevant blogs and websites are effective marketing tools. Apps can also assist you
advertise your event. Build a focused advertising, guest posting, interviews, and
feature article presence.
