MARKETING BENEFITS
Responding to competitive forces
The world economy is increasingly global
This means that today our industry faces
growing and far more sophisticated
competition from all over the world.
Particularly from fast-emerging economies
like China, Philippines Kenya and India.
Wherever they are, businesses can compete
on
Price, on quality of the products offered, on
quality of customer service, on product
features or on availability.
The use of e-commerce via the
internet has now become
almost a necessity. Having
an effective, well-managed
web presence can help a
business to compete.

Marketing benefits:
The Internet helps businesses to acquire a good
knowledge of customers because it is a way of
connecting everyone who is online.
Millions of pounds, dollars and Euros and many other
currencies pass through wires linking computers all over
the world. According to ClickZStats (www.clickz.com) ,
the worldwide internet population in 2010 is 1.8 billion
Not only will more people be online, but the comfort and
ease with which they use the internet, will improve and
fears about security issues will diminish.
Reformulating the marketing mix:
Traditional marketing uses tactics based on the marketing
mix:

Product

Price

Promotion
Internet marketing specialists refer to a ‘remix’ of these, so
that traditional marketing is re-applied in different ways in
the online world.
This e-marketing remix changes the traditional marketing
tools and adds one or two new ingredients, designed
specifically for the online community.
To make visitors want to stay, as website
has to offer something that is of value to
a visitor. This is an online value
proposition (OVP)
and
It is a similar concept to the unique selling
proposition (USP) commonly referred to
in traditional marketing.
In the case of the USP, marketers are trying to
communicate something unique about a physical
product that will make people want to buy it
more than other products
Similarly,
The OVP is the special set of characteristics about
a website that will make people want to stick
around on the site and make a purchase
