Study Notes
Digital Goods (Characteristics)
- Nearly zero marginal cost (cost of producing the first unit is almost the entire cost of producing the product)
- Low cost of delivery
- Highly variable prices
- Marketing costs remain the same
Network Effects
- Value of a product or service increases as its number of users expands
- Digital goods are subject to network effects
- Metcalfe's Law: Value (V) = Number of users (N)^2
Direct Network Effects
- Number of users on one side impacts the number of users on the same side
- Value of a product or service increases as more users join the platform
- Example: Social media platforms (e.g., X) become more valuable as more users join, especially influencers with large followings.
Indirect Network Effects (Two-sided/Cross-side network effects)
- Value of a product or service for a group of users increases if more users join another group part of the same network
- Example: Ordering food delivery apps; more drivers increase choice and improve customer experience.
Positive and Negative Network Effects
- Positive: Value of a product/service increases as more people use it (e.g., Facebook, Instagram).
- Negative: Value of a product/service decreases as more people use it (e.g., overcrowded platforms or spam on communication).
Switching Costs
- Costs associated with changing a product/service to another similar one
- Types include: Monetary (fees), Time, Emotional (attachment to a brand/product), Procedural (effort to transfer data).
Platform-centric Businesses (Multi-sided E-business platforms)
- Markets where one or more platforms enable interactions between multiple sides of users
- Examples include marketplaces, where consumers, businesses, and/or logistics providers interact through a platform.
The Long Tail Business Model
- Focus on selling numerous niche products in small quantities instead of a few blockbuster products
- Aims to reach customers with specific needs and wants.
- Tools like smart searches and recommendation systems help discover niche products.
- Example: Netflix, Amazon, Spotify
E-Business Models

Digital Marketing Channels
- Organic and paid channels exist, with paid channels often involving paid advertising.
Value Proposition
- How unique and sticky a business is. This relates to the pursuit of competitive advantage, uniqueness, and customer stickiness. This results from personalization/customization, user data, and tailored content.
- Differentiation is key, ensuring the product is perceived as different.
Digital Marketing Strategies for Competing
- Network markets see early, intense competition. Early firms aggressively compete to establish product leadership.
Strategic Positioning (Competition Analysis)
- Analyzing existing competitors and market presence, like brick-and-mortar and click-only businesses to identify suitable hybrid models.
Customer Relationship Strategies
- CRM (Customer Relationship Management) systems: capture all customer data, consolidate and analyze it, and distribute it across various systems, which creates a holistic view of the customer.
Operational and Analytical CRM
- Operational CRM focuses on customer-facing applications like sales force automation and customer service support.
- Analytical CRM focuses on using data warehouses to analyze customer data, leading to customer insights and lifetime value analysis.
Analytical CRM Data Warehouse
