Web marketing efforts can pay you rich dividends
Internet today has become a medium of mass communication which has a universal appeal with perhaps lowest cost implications for marketing companies. The cost of launching an internet campaigns would be far less then of launching a similar campaign over National Television. The cost of developing the marketing content and price of distributing that content to reach the target audience is only fractional when compared with the nearest competition. So there is no way that today’s modern day marketing managers could ignore this medium. What makes this medium more interesting is that apart from it being universal, cheap and quick it is also a two way mode of communication which makes it all the more important to get first hand customer feedback.
Internet marketing campaigns could be launched to increase brand awareness about your products or services, launching new products in market, get customer feedbacks and more importantly making online sales. This means that an effective online marketing campaign would be mean direct and immediate increase in your sales. A company can decide you have their own website and upload bundles of information about themselves on this platform. This platform can also be used to offer different products and services for direct sales. The companies which have big and diversified product portfolios can make use of shopping carts on their web sites to manage their online sales.
A company selling products online can also offer lot of cost advantage to its customers. The distribution of products is considerably reduced while offering them online. The products can reach directly from the manufacturer to the end user, eliminating all the channels in between. Only logistics to physically move the products from warehouse to customer location has to be handled. There are number of courier and logistics companies which are more than willing to offer their services for this physical movement. Online stores such as ‘ebay’ and ‘amazon’ are the best examples of what could be the potential of web marketing in the coming days.
To take best out of the platform we would also require some home work. First of all our marketing managers should be aware of the potential of this new marketing platform and update their knowledge with learning some of the basics of internet marketing. Though very few formal courses would be available but there are many books and other written material available which could be used to increase their knowledge on the subject matter. From time to time various organizations also conduct seminars and open forums to discuss latest advancement in internet marketing. Attending these seminars could also give lot of insight on web marketing to our young managers.
Internet is available to all of us with its arms wide open. It is now up to each one of us, how good we understand the opportunity available and what best use we can make out of it.
