    Study Notes

    E-commerce Marketing and Advertising Concepts

    • Online marketing and advertising strategies involve traditional marketing techniques like search engine marketing, display ads, e-mail campaigns, and affiliate programs.
    • Marketers need to consider other media channels like social media and mobile devices for attracting an audience.
    • A comprehensive multi-channel marketing plan consists of five main elements: website, traditional online marketing, social marketing, mobile marketing, and offline marketing.

    Strategic Issues and Questions

    • Managers of startups or commercial websites face strategic questions like where to focus first, whether to develop a website, blog, or social media presence, and how to allocate resources.
    • Integrating different marketing platforms into a single coherent branding message is a major challenge.
    • Resource allocation is another challenge, as different marketing platforms have different metrics to measure effectiveness.

    The Website as a Marketing Platform

    • A firm's website is a major tool for establishing the initial customer relationship.
    • The website performs four important functions: establishing brand identity, informing and educating the consumer, shaping the customer experience, and anchoring the brand in marketing messages.
    • The website is the one place where consumers can find the complete story about a brand.

    Native Advertising

    • Content marketing creates a content campaign for a brand and tries to secure placement on various websites.
    • The aim of content marketing is to increase website visitors, organic search rankings, and brand engagement via social media.

    Advertising Networks

    • Advertising networks connect online marketers with publishers by displaying ads to consumers based on detailed customer information.
    • Ad exchanges are auction-based digital marketplaces where ad networks sell ad space to marketers.
    • Programmatic advertising is an automated, auction-based method for matching demand and supply for display ads.

    E-mail Marketing

    • Direct e-mail marketing involves sending targeted e-mail messages to interested users.
    • Benefits of e-mail marketing include mass reach, trackability, personalization, and ability to drive traffic to websites.
    • E-mail marketing faces challenges like spam, software tools that eliminate e-mails, and poorly targeted purchased e-mail lists.

    Affiliate Marketing

    • Affiliate marketing involves paying commissions to affiliate websites for referring potential customers to a website.
    • Affiliate marketing generally involves pay-for-performance, where the affiliate gets paid only if users click on a link or purchase a product.

    Viral Marketing

    • Viral marketing is the process of getting customers to pass along a company's marketing message to friends, family, and colleagues.
    • It's the online version of word-of-mouth advertising, which spreads even faster and further than in the real world.

    Social, Mobile, and Local Marketing and Advertising

    • Social marketing and advertising involve using online social networks and communities to build brands and drive sales revenues.
    • Social networks offer advertisers various advertising formats, including banner ads, native advertising, videos, and sponsorship of content.
    • Influencer marketing is another form of social media marketing that began initially with bloggers and has since expanded to other social networks.

    Source of Information about Online Consumers

    • A primary source of information about online consumers is the transaction log maintained by all web servers.
    • The transaction log is built into web server software and records user activity at a website.
    • Transaction log data becomes more useful when combined with visitor-generated data trails like registration forms and the shopping cart database.

    Technologies that Support Online Marketing

    • Database is a software application that stores records and attributes.
    • Database management system (DBMS) is a software application used to create, maintain, and access databases.
    • Data warehouse is a database that collects a firm's transactional and customer data in a single location for offline analysis.
    • Data mining is a set of analytical techniques that look for patterns in data or seek to model customer behavior.
    • Big data is huge data sets, often from different sources, in the petabyte and exabyte range.
    • Marketing analytics software collects, stores, analyzes, and graphically presents data on each stage of the conversion process on e-commerce sites.
