CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION TO NETFLIX
Netflix was founded in 1997 by Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph in a small
California city called Scotts Valley in Santa Cruz county . Reed Hastings has said
the idea was sparked by a $40 fine he got for renting the movie Apollo 13 from long-
dead Blockbuster and returning it six weeks late. While working out at the gym one
day, the sting of the fine inspired him to think up a service that allowed one to order
a movie online and get it by mail.
According to Marc Randolph, however, this story is not true and was just a
marketing gag. Instead, in early 1997, Reed was the CEO of the company they
worked for (Pure Atria), and Marc was its VP of Corporate Marketing. Because a
looming merger with another firm would leave them both out of a job, Marc says
Reed had told him, "Let's come up with an idea and you can run it and I'll fund it."
As they carpooled to work every day from their homes in Santa Cruz to Silicon
Valley, Marc, who wanted to start something like Amazon.com, pitched all sorts of
e-commerce ideas to Reed: surfboards, custom-built baseball bats, personalized dog
food, and home-delivery shampoo. To all of them, Reed's reply was simply, "that
will never work."
7
Then, Marc heard of a hot new product invented in Japan called the DVD. He
realized DVDs would soon replace VHS Cassettes as the home viewing standard.
After a bit of brainstorming in the car on Highway 17, Reed was sold on the idea.
On a hot summer day in 1997, Marc and Reed walked into Logos Books & Records
in Santa Cruz, bought a CD of Patsy Cline's greatest hits, and mailed it to Reed's
house a few blocks across the town. When the CD arrived intact, they knew they had
found their ticket to e-commerce glory.
On August 29, 1997, Netflix was registered and set up using at least $1.9 million
from Reed Hastings. Other investors later supplemented this capital. Reed Hastings,
37, became Chairman with 70% ownership, and Marc Randolph, 39, the
After a few iterations in its first few years, Netflix eventually crafted a successful
business model: a subscription-based service with no due dates or late fees and
unlimited CEO and a minority owner access to content at $19.95. It also had a
"Queue" that subscribers use to specify the order in which DVDs should be mailed
to them and a delivery system that automatically mails out a DVD as soon as the
previous DVD is returned.
At first, Netflix would pack the DVDs in white envelopes, and it wasn't until 2000
that Netflix changed them to yellow envelopes. But it only took the company one
year to switch to the iconic red envelopes we're more familiar with. The DVDs
arrived in a thin package with a postage-paid return sleeve inside, and Netflix
covered all postage costs.

KEY NETFLIX MILESTONE
August 29, 1997: Netflix is registered in Scotts Valley, California. The service is
called Kibble in beta testing, a kind of dog food, to remind the team of the old
advertising adage that "It doesn't matter how good your dog food advertising
campaign is if the dogs won't eat the dog food."
April 14, 1998: The website launches as Netflix at 9 am. The video library has
approximately 900 titles. Marc orders the movie Casino as a test, and it works.
Within 15 minutes, the website crashes as other orders start coming in, forcing them
to run to the store to buy more servers. At the end of the first day, they booked 137
orders.
1999: 239,000 subscribers sign up. Netflix's video library expands to 3,100 titles.
After a meeting between Marc and Sony goes bad, and growth becomes sluggish,
Reed demotes Marc to President and takes over as CEO.
2000: Reed Hastings approaches former Blockbuster CEO John Antico and asks him
to buy Netflix for $50 million. During the meeting, John turns him down and laughs
at Reed and the Netflix team.
2002: Netflix goes public in May. The IPO raises $82.1 million and values Netflix
at $309.7 million. Reed has 500,000 shares, and Marc has 166,000 shares.
9
2006: Netflix finally becomes profitable, generating more than $80 million.
Subscribers rise to 6.3 million.
2007: Netflix begins streaming content, delivering directly to TVs, computers, and
tablets through its Watch Now service. The first trial is in Canada. The service
launches with 1,000 titles and is included free in Netflix's $5.99 per month physical
DVD subscription tier.
2010: Netflix changes its focus to streaming and introduces it to the United States.
Reed tells investors, "Three years ago we were a DVD by-mail company that offered
some streaming. We are now a streaming company which also offers DVD by mail."
2011: Netflix splits its streaming business and its DVD rental business into two
distinct subscription packages: Netflix for streaming and Qwikster for DVD rentals.
Reed reverses the unpopular decision in less than a month after 800,000 subscribers
abandon Netflix.
2012: Netflix starts making original shows. Its first show is Lilyhammer, followed
by House of Cards in 2013. Since then, it has produced over 1,900 originals
(becoming one of the best streaming services for original content), many of which,
like Squid Game and The Crown, have gone on to be tremendously popular and won
many awards.
2013: Netflix introduces user-profiles and rolls this feature out to all Netflix
subscribers in August.
2016: Netflix goes live in 130 countries simultaneously and adds local languages to
its user interface, subtitles, and dubbing.
10
2017: Netflix officially hits 100 million subscribers worldwide.
2021: Netflix hits 209 million subscribers in over 190 countries. Notable exceptions
are North Korea, Syria, China, and Iran. It has more than 15,000 titles across all its
international libraries and earns over $25 billion in annual revenues. The company
introduces mobile games, allowing users to play games on Netflix.
11
Netflix original program like “Stranger Things”, “House of Cards”, “Narcos”, and
many others is more likely why people choose Netflix as their internet-based TV
subscription. They always create new original series and broaden their content
library with a popular movie like Oscar Nominee movies or superhero movies from
Disney Marvel that they got their license to stream on Netflix starting from
September 2016.
With the net content of the Netflix’s library has around $11bn worth, Morgan
Stanley calculates this worth more than the net book value for established
broadcasters Viacom, Discovery, AMC Networks and Scripps combined (Bradshaw
and Bond, 2017). Through their own work philosophy Freedom & Responsibility,
Netflix can create the disruptive environment they need so they will have a
competitive advantage (Netflix, 2017). Bold and different decision that Netflix made
for example “burning” cash flow for their investment in original content to compete
with a big competitor like Disney that has a lot of famous franchises which ironically
Netflix depend on it based on their contract that will expire in 2019
Despite its impressive performance, Netflix — which posted a revenue of $25 billion
globally for FY20 — has a tall challenge ahead to grow further. The 5.4-million
subscriber count places it at No. 4 in this segment of around 96 million subscribers
(taken as the number of paid users multiplied by the number of OTT platforms for
which they cut a cheque; unique subscribers would be around 40 million). The
challenge is tall because market leader Disney+ Hotstar has an estimated 34.5
million subscribers, while Amazon Prime Video (19.7 million) and Zee5 (6.5
million) are also ahead of Netflix. To climb this pecking order, the company needs
to go beyond the Rs 199 plan and scythe through its premium imagery to broaden
its appeal to the mass consumer.
12
The success of Netflix and other OTT players marks a sea change in the business
model to make money in a dominant free content marketplace. “For the first time,
you have a new technology and a new platform with some very strong pulls,” says
serial entrepreneur Ronnie Screwvala, a veteran in the space since the 1990s, and
now Co-founder and Executive Chairman of edtech platform up Grad. “The OTT
landscape has done what cable and broadcasting and DTH couldn’t do for 20-25
years — get the consumer to appreciate great and strong storytelling, and pay for it.”

INTRODUCTION TO MARKETING STRATEGIES OF
NETFLIX
Unlike traditional marketing methods that focus on making the sale through one or
two channels, modern marketing the Netflix way evolves with the changes in the
market.
With constant analysis and optimization, your brand too can connect with customers
across a range of mediums, devices, and touchpoints, just like Netflix.
In essence, the modern marketing tools used by Netflix are data-driven, customer-
centric, personalized, and omnipresent.
16
Netflix Marketing is Customer-centric
Modern marketing tools put customer experience at the forefront of all business
objectives and partnerships Therefore, modern marketers must learn from Netflix
and collect, analyze, and apply data insights across all stages of the customer
journey.
With a blend of traditional and digital marketing strategies, modern marketers can
capture audiences across a wide range of channels.
Marketers must seek innovative ways of bringing multiple channels and tools
together to offer a better customer experience, the way Netflix does.
17
Think about how often you come across Netflix advertising on mobile phones,
although most people watch Netflix on larger devices, like TVs or tablets.
That’s how you build a modern marketing strategy to work for today’s audiences,
because even if your product or service is best experienced on a personal computer,
your target audience is still easier to reach on mobile phones.
Modern marketing is agile in the sense that it moves with the times.
The best marketers of today use technology effectively in line with a marketing
strategy that is designed for unrivaled, personalized customer experiences.
18
By harnessing the power of data analytics, modern marketers can capture the minds
of consumers, reacting to their needs in ways that delight and surprise them.
This must have been your experience too as a Netflix subscriber. Plenty of times
you’re looking for a movie and Netflix just suggests it to you, even though you didn’t
search for it.
Netflix uses customer data analytics to get the content recommendations right.

7 Key Lessons From Netflix Marketing
Over time, the company has diversified to offer their products to people on a range
of devices.
Now, many Smart TVs already have Netflix installed. You can watch Netflix on
your TV or computer, smartphone, or tablet.
The company pulls out all the stops to meet their audience wherever they are.
To demonstrate this modern marketing technique, we can look to the time when the
80s-nostalgia-inspired hit Stranger Things was set to return for its sophomore
season.
Rather than putting all their eggs in one basket, Netflix made concerted efforts on
several different channels to guarantee maximum audience engagement:
20
• This effect rolled on during the wait for the second season, eliciting praise
from celebrities and inspiring a pop-up bar in Chicago.
It’s notable that their marketing team came up with creative ideas for different social
media platforms — they didn’t regurgitate from one to the next.
The Takeaway
Netflix understood the features of modern marketing services and knew early on that
their audience was very active on social media, so they aligned
their marketing strategy to engage users there.
Today’s consumers use more than one medium to connect with brands.
21
By implementing a cross-channel marketing campaign, you can reach people
wherever they are, engaging them on multiple touchpoints to nurture more interest
in your products.
Don’t believe the rumors – email is not dead. Far from it.
Netflix is just one of many companies that are tapping into the present-day potential
of email marketing, pairing it with machine learning-based systems to get more from
their consumer data.
After all, what good is data if you don’t know how to use it?
The Netflix marketing strategy incorporates email to introduce new users to the
streaming platform.
Then, Netflix segments users into groups and offers personalized product
recommendations and relevant updates based on their preferences.
While these tactics are commonplace among leading forces online, one of the
best email marketing tips from Netflix is this:
Netflix took a chance when they were promoting their new show, The
Punisher. They sent an email that looked like spam, and could easily have been
rejected or thrashed by many people immediately.
22
However, once the email was opened, a GIF began to play. Suddenly, The
Punisher logo flashes up on the screen, employing subliminal advertising to
encourage people to watch the show.
Another example was their email for House of Cards, which merely included the
show title, the release date, and the phrase, “coming soon”.
The Takeaway
However, boring, unimaginative emails may as well be sent to the graveyard for all
the hype they’ll create.
Netflix seeks to find unique and innovative ways of leveraging this old marketing
channel.
Why?
Because it still has a lot of potential value, offering marketers an incredible 4000%
return on investment (ROI), if not more.
Providing your emails are valuable and skimmable, you can hook the attention of
your prospects with very little outlay.
What makes Netflix superior to other streaming services like HBO and Amazon
Prime?
23
They all have hundreds of fantastic shows and movies. Each of them has an intuitive
user interface, and all can be enjoyed on an array of different devices.
The average person flicks through 40 to 50 options on Netflix before choosing one
to watch.
The advanced algorithm at play will continue to rearrange the programs over time,
based on factors like your viewing history and preferred genres.
But what if you don’t have smart computers and high-paid software engineers to
create advanced algorithms?
Your company can still offer a personalized experience by leveraging what you
know about your customers and then applying it to your various marketing channels.
In 2018, CMO reported that consumer desire for personalized content reached an
all-time high, with 42% of people claiming they get annoyed whenever the content
isn’t personalized for them.
24
Even if you can’t do it on a large scale, you’ll still avoid deterring people with
generic guesswork content that has nothing to do with their interests.
The Takeaway
Don’t disregard personalization just because you haven’t got a large budget or the
desired skill set.
Over time, a modern marketing strategy that focuses on personalization and the
customer experience will help build trust in your company, which leads to stronger
customer relationships.
The rise of marketing automation has paved the way for greater personalization, as
it allows companies to analyze data, and react to it accordingly.
25
Netflix recognized the value of big data and automation a decade ago, going as far
as to offer a $1 million prize to whoever could produce the best algorithm for
predicting customer ratings based on data about previous ratings.
The Takeaway
However, one of the best modern marketing tips from the Netflix strategy is that we
need to be proactive instead.
With better data analysis, you can understand what people are looking for, and you’ll
be able to provide it before the demand truly arises.
26
5: Embrace Machine Learning to Enhance the User Experience
The order of the shows will be arranged based on the user activity on that account.
However, the order of the shows is not the only aspect that continues to evolve.
Have you ever noticed the artwork on shows change from one day to the next?
For example, you may see all five school-uniform clad stars of Derry Girls one day,
only for the image to be replaced on your next visit by the scowling face of the
show’s lead character, Erin.
The company’s vice president, Todd Yellin explains how Netflix puts this
revolutionary technology to good use.
Netflix has created several ‘landing cards’ for each of their shows, and the company
runs some 250 A/B tests every year.
With two groups of about 100,000 people each – one control group and one test
group – Netflix is able to offer varied landing cards and see if one version truly has
an impact on engagement.
27
The Takeaway
With an ML-based tool at the core of your modern marketing strategy, you will be
able to take personalization and automation to an entirely different level.
Netflix’s shockingly popular, and oft-times disturbing series, Black Mirror focuses
on the warped possibilities of technology.
But even by the daring heights the dystopian series reached before, it’s interactive
feature-length offering Bandersnatch broke new ground entirely.
By allowing viewers to take part in the story, making key decisions for the
protagonist at every turn, this daring change in the Netflix business model has
opened the door to the future of television.
Some people were hooked for as long as four hours on this episode, continually
attempting to navigate their way to a happy ending.
While that is ultimately a futile exercise, the enjoyment in trying still keeps viewers
engaged.
28
The Takeaway
Content marketing has become formulaic over the past decade, making it hard to get
The companies who truly think outside of the box stand to gain a lot of attention.
29
It was also somewhat of a gamble, which could easily have backfired.
But, as you’ve no doubt gathered by now, Netflix isn’t afraid to take a risk or try
something a little bit edgy.
The year was a big year for black actors, as many stars of African-American descent
made their breakthrough.
Traditionally, Hollywood has been a tough nut to crack for people of color. But
where some people saw barriers, Netflix saw an opportunity.
The company is always testing out new ideas, embracing new technology, and
leveraging machine learning and data analytics as much as possible to engage
audiences.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
31
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
A good research methodology will explain what you are going to do and why,
while a poor methodology will lead to a messy or disorganized approach.
You should also be able to justify in this section your reasoning for why you
intend on carrying out your research in a particular way, especially if it might be
a particularly unique method.
32
Research methodologies tell the systematic method for acquiring data and studying
it for deriving out crucial findings. This is an important process that helps in solving
problems and making business decisions. It enables management for properly
organizing their efforts in a right direction for generating an idea.
Methodology of research indicates and influences the overall validity and reliability
of whole research to be conducted. Methodology answers mainly two questions
regarding research that are how the data used for study was acquired and how it was
analyzed to derive out the findings.
33
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Develop better insights into topics
It determines the reliability and validity of the whole research work. Research
methodology tells accurate sources from where data should be taken for studying
purpose which thereby improves the quality of research done.
34
Research Limitations
It is for sure that the research will have some limitations and it is normal. However,
it is critically important to be striving to minimize the range of scope of limitations
throughout the research process. Also, you need to provide the acknowledgement
of your research limitations in conclusions chapter honestly.
Your research may have multiple limitations, but you need to discuss only those
limitations that directly relate to your research problems. For example, if conducting
a meta-analysis of the secondary data has not been stated as your research objective,
no need to mention it as your research limitation.
35
reading this book), there is a great chance that the nature of implementation
of data collection method is flawed.
3. Sample size. Sample size depends on the nature of the research problem. If
sample size is too small, statistical tests would not be able to identify
significant relationships within data set. You can state that basing your study
in larger sample size could have generated more accurate results. The
importance of sample size is greater in quantitative studies compared to
qualitative studies.
36
First, decide how you will collect data. Your methods depend on what type of data
you need to answer your research question:
• Qualitative vs. quantitative: Will your data take the form of words or
numbers?
• Primary vs. secondary: Will you collect original data yourself, or will you
use data that has already been collected by someone else?
• Descriptive vs. experimental: Will you take measurements of something as
it is, or will you perform an experiment?
• For quantitative data, you can use statistical analysis methods to test
relationships between variables.
• For qualitative data, you can use methods such as thematic analysis to
interpret patterns and meanings in the data.
Data is the information that you collect for the purposes of answering your research
question. The type of data you need depends on the aims of your research.
For questions about ideas, experiences and meanings, or to study something that
can’t be described numerically, collect qualitative data.
37
If you want to develop a more mechanistic understanding of a topic, or your research
involves hypothesis testing, collect quantitative data.
You can also take a mixed methods approach, where you use both qualitative and
quantitative research methods.
Primary data is any original information that you collect for the purposes of
answering your research question (e.g. through surveys, observations
and experiments). Secondary data is information that has already been collected by
other researchers (e.g. in a government census or previous scientific studies).
If you are exploring a novel research question, you’ll probably need to collect
primary data. But if you want to synthesize existing knowledge, analyze historical
trends, or identify patterns on a large scale, secondary data might be a better choice.
In descriptive research, you collect data about your study subject without
intervening. The validity of your research will depend on your sampling method.
38
Methods for analyzing data
Your data analysis methods will depend on the type of data you collect and how you
prepare it for analysis.
Data can often be analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. For example,
survey responses could be analyzed qualitatively by studying the meanings of
responses or quantitatively by studying the frequencies of responses.
Qualitative analysis is used to understand words, ideas, and experiences. You can
use it to interpret data that was collected:
39
You can use quantitative analysis to interpret data that was collected either.
• During an experiment.
• Using probability sampling methods.
Because the data is collected and analyzed in a statistically valid way, the results of
quantitative analysis can be easily standardized and shared among researchers.
40
RESEARCH METHODLOGY USED BY NETFLIX
As the world’s leading Internet television network with over 160 million members
in over 190 countries, our members enjoy hundreds of millions of hours of content
per day, including original series, documentaries and feature films. We invest
heavily in machine learning to continually improve our member experience and
optimize the Netflix service end-to-end. As researchers, we innovate using
machine learning in many areas where we prototype, design, implement, evaluate,
and productionize models and algorithms through both offline experiments and
online A/B testing.
We’re also using machine learning to help shape our catalog of movies and TV
shows by learning characteristics that make content successful. We use it to optimize
the production of original movies and TV shows in Netflix’s rapidly growing studio.
Machine learning also enables us to optimize video and audio encoding, adaptive
bitrate selection, and our in-house Content Delivery Network that accounts for more
than a third of North American internet traffic. It also powers our advertising spend,
channel mix, and advertising creative so that we can find new members who will
enjoy Netflix.
Using machine learning pervasively across Netflix brings many new challenges
where we need to push forward the state-of-the-art.
41
This means coming up with new ideas and testing them out, be it new models and
algorithms or improvements to existing ones, better metrics or evaluation
methodologies, and addressing the challenges of scale. Our research spans many
different algorithmic approaches including causal modeling, bandits, reinforcement
learning, ensembles, neural networks, probabilistic graphical models, and matrix
factorization.
Now, let’s have a look at the business model of Netflix.
44
Digital Marketing Model of Netflix
In less than 4 years, Netflix has gathered a major share of the Indian market. Today
a majority of households in India subscribe to Netflix, and that number is expected
to rise this year and further the years to come. The product is designed so well, that
you remain engrossed in the content they deliver. They adopted top digital
marketing strategies. Consult the best brand activation agencies. Further, let’s
talk about a few of the digital marketing principles that Netflix has successfully
implemented to gather customers.
1.Personalised Content Marketing: People love using Netflix because they get a
broad range of things to watch. Netflix’s library of TV shows and movies from all
over the world is there for consumers to choose from at any time.
The reason that Netflix won the personalisation game is that its advanced algorithm
continues to rearrange the programmes over time on the basis of your viewing
history. Hire some of the best performance marketing agencies for personalised
content.
45
3. Email Marketing: Netflix tapped on email marketing techniques as a part of their
digital marketing strategy and as a key component of customer onboarding and
nurturing. New Netflix customers receive a series of emails that make content
recommendations and encourage new users to explore the platform. Netflix
marketers invest hours in building creative email marketing campaigns designed to
engage and delight recipients. With the help of best email marketing services, they
continue to enhance the experience of the customers
Facebook
Through creative social media optimization strategies Netflix has garnered more
than 61 million Facebook followers. In just one year, the brand added 11 million
46
followers to its account. Netflix posts nearly 90% videos and rest images. Videos
featured on Netflix’s
Facebook page are typically clips from interviews with the actors from the upcoming
movies, clips from the upcoming movies and TV shows, offering audiences a sneak
peek into what’s in store for them. Besides videos, the OTT platforms share images,
GIFs, funny memes, simple text posts featuring questions about current movies and
TV shows.
Instagram
Netflix carries 19 million followers. The majority of Netflix’s posts on Instagram
are images, post scenes from TV shows featuring engaging captions to get a
conversation going, and behind the scenes clips and interviews with actors. A recent

CHAPTER 5
CONCLUSION
52
CONCLUSION
Netflix is a rare example of a company doing everything right. From their branding
and content right down to their business models and product, the company has
always excelled at.
Making smart, strategies decisions. With their large market share and focus on the
numbers, Netflix has managed to develop a deep understanding of their audience
that very few others have. This knowledge, paired with a strong, affordable Product,
there’s no limit to what this brand can do in the future.
This statement could easily summarise the blog post about Netflix marketing and
what modern marketers should learn from it.
As one of the ultimate digital disruptors, Netflix rose to power by breaking the mold
— and also the hearts of Blockbuster employees and every illegal download website
owner.
It’s no surprise that the company would continue in the same vein by actively
exploring unorthodox means of marketing.

CHAPTER 6
54
SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
On the basis of research and analysis of the study conducted in DELHI market,
which was divided into five areas viz. south, north, east, west and central Delhi for
the Netflix . I would like to suggest the following key points to the company .
➢ We do this by using the data about what content our members watch and
enjoy along with how they interact with our service to get better at figuring
out what the next great movie or TV show for them will be.
➢ These experiments also provide us with new insights to further improve our
research and product. This cycle of experimentation has led us to move
beyond rating prediction, made famous by the Netflix prize, and into
personalized ranking, page generation, search, image selection, messaging,
and much more.
55
➢ While our research has made many significant improvements to our
recommendation system over the years, there is still a long way to go until
every member sees the perfect recommendation at the top of their page and
understands why it will be great for them.
➢ Thus, we continue to improve our algorithms and look for new areas we can
personalize. We also extend beyond the selection layer by looking for new
ways we can present recommendations, explain them, and have members
interact with our systems.
