for a period of two months. Given a choice one was allowed to choose the field in which he/she

digital marketing services. And then your task is to approach them before your competitors.

Digital marketing startup companies follow a standard process of approaching clients. There are

certain steps which cannot be altered or skipped. These are followed in sequences and executed

after evaluating the process again and again. In digital marketing your team should be strong

enough to deliver what your client expecting, as under digital marketing everyone work is

interconnected and with a team only one campaign can get ready.

LITERATURE REVIEW

1.J Suresh Reddy26 has published article in Indian Journal of Marketing. Title of article is

“Impact of E-commerce on marketing”.

Marketing is one of the business function most dramatically affected by emerging information

technologies. Internet is providing companies new channels of communication and interaction. It

can create closer yet more cost effective relationships with customers in sales, marketing and

customer support. Companies can use web to provide ongoing information, service and support.

It also creates positive interaction with customers that can serve as the foundation for long term

relationships and encourage repeat purchases.

2. Neelika Arora 32has published research article entitled “Trends in Online Advertising” in

advertising Express, Dec2004.

The global online advertising revenues are expected to touch US $10bn by 2006. In India, the

revenues at present are estimated to be Rs. 80 cr. and are expected to increase six times more

within the next five years.

In India, Internet as a medium is accepted by a wider industrial segment that includes

automobiles, telecom, education, banking, insurance, credit cards, FMCG (Fast Moving

Consumer Goods), apparel/clothing, durables, media, business services and tourism. Out of these

, it is estimated that the banking, FMCG and insurance sectors together account for 45% of the

total advertising spend. In comparison to this, automotive, travel and retail spend 37% of the

total advertising revenue and financial service companies spend 12% only. Some of the top

spenders in India are automobiles, followed by brands like Pepsodent, Kelloggs, Cadbury, HDFC

(Housing Development Finance Corporation Ltd.) loans and Sunsilk. In addition to these the

early adopters in the field of finance and IT are also increasing their spending. Globally, the

trend is that almost 60% of the revenue goes to five firms- Goggle, Yahoo, Microsoft,

AOL(America Online Launchers), and Overture. Approximately, 90% of the Goggle revenues

come from advertising. In India, portals like indiatimes.com, exchange4media.com,

rediffmail.com, agencyfaqs.com etc are attracting major online spender.

This article explains demographic profile of Indian users. It also gives the comparison between

global trend and Indian trend, which is useful for my research work.

3.Sumanjeet37 has published article on “On Line Banner Advertising”- in Indian Journal of

Marketing.

Online banner advertising has great potential as an advertising medium. It is easy to create, place

and use. It offers companies targeting well educated, innovative, affluent males/females or

students with great potential for success as their segments are highly represented.

4.Nicholas Ind , Maria Chiara Riondino36 have originally published their article inthe

Journal of Brand Management in September 2001. The title of this article is “Branding on

the Web: A real Revolution?”

In this paper difference in corporate attitudes to the Web are discussed and conclusions as to the

way in which branding practice and theory are affected by the new technology are drawn. This

article explains the Web is both a distribution and a communications channel that facilitates

interaction community building, openness and comparability.

5.Jaffrey Graham45 has published his article entitled “Web advertising’s future >>> e

Marketing strategy”

Morgan Stanley Dean Witter published an equity research report analyzing the Internet

marketing and advertising industry. The report studies research from dozens of companies and

calculates the cost and effectiveness of advertising across various media. Branding on the

Internet works. For existing brands, the Internet is more effective in driving recall than

television, magazines, and newspapers and at least as good in generating product interest.

6.Advertising in social media: How consumers act after seeing social ads. Adapted from

Nielsen (2012: 10).

Social media has not only changed how people communicate online, but it has also changed the

consumption of other media too. Online social connections are used to filter, discuss,

disseminate, and validate news, entertainment, and products for consumption. (Ryan 2011: 15)

The next chapters will explain more about each of the world’s current most widely used social

medias. There are, of course, many other social networks and applications (apps) available but

considering the study, the focus is on the main medias.

7. Victor Van Valen has published article “Is Your Marketing Smart”

Today advertisers not only need to cater to and directly pinpoint a precise targeted audience, but

they need to customize their advertisements as well. In web media, you have an idea of who will

see your ads, and it create an impact on your audience. For example, you know Femina

Magazine would be great to target women so you can promote your new beauty product in this

magazine. But when it comes to online venues, how can you target the right audience when

millions are browsing?

8.Vikas Bondar has published his article on “sales and marketing strategies”

Internet is a really good thing. The Internet gives people a greater amount of information as we

need. It is the best way to get a comparison of the products that we need. If we are interested in

buying, it is best for us to check the Web sites. Also if we would like to make our own Web page

we can do this, without paying a lot of money. From where do we set all this information? The

answer is from advertising, which we see, everywhere: on TV, on the Internet, in the newspapers

and more. Year after year we get more and more new, interesting information and in the future

the Internet use will increase more than now.

This article explains how internet is useful tool for advertisement

Digital marketing:

According to Garder’s survey (2013), the top priority in digital marketing investment will be to

improve commerce experiences through social marketing, content creation and management and

mobile marketing. Key findings also revealed that a companies’ marketing success relies mostly

on their website, social marketing, and digital advertising, which are all parts of digital

marketing. In addition, savings made by using digital marketing can be reinvested elsewhere.

Normally, companies spend 10 percent of their revenue on marketing and 2.4 percent on digital

marketing, which will increase to 9 percent in the future.

Content Market:

Brogan(2008) and Ferguson (2009) urge content marketing is not any other thing, but that is“ a

marketing technique of creating and distributing relevant and valuable content to attract, acquire,

18 | P a g e

and engage a clearly defined and understood target audience -with the objective of driving

profitable customer action”. Going by that idea Pulizzi defines (2008) content marketing as “the

art of understanding exactly what your customers need to know, and delivering it to them in a

relevant and compelling way to grow your business”.

Content marketing is creating rich contents targeting potential audience and sharing via content

marketing platforms to inform, educate them without selling. Thus, content marketing is

expanding by answering customary issues with the right kind of content in front of the right kind

of audience.

Content marketing communication strategies

Pulizzi (2008) highlights a good content marketing strategy is ways in which to understand

problems and concerns of customers and offering best solutions and to transferring trusted

knowledge.

Marketing communication strategies are very important nowadays than before. An optimized

informative content can connect with customers and enabling them to interact with. Therefore,

effective and efficient content marketing strategies will influence customer’s positive interaction

with a product and service even it will increase investment of returns.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

The descriptive research design is used for analyzing and studying the process of Business

Development. It is very simple & more specific than explanatory study.

The descriptive study is a fact finding investigation with adequate interpretation. The descriptive

study aims at identifying the various characteristics of a problem under study. It reveals potential

relationships between variables and also setting the stage for further investigation later. The

results of such research are not usually useful for decision making by them, but they can provide

significant insight into a given situation. Although the results of qualitative research can give

some indication as to the ‘why’, ’how’ and ‘when’ something occurs, it cannot tell us ‘how

often’ or ’how many’.

As the research conducted was observatory there was no questionnaire and hence no sample size

or data interpretation was to be done.

Data Sources:

Primary Data: -

It is a firsthand data which is collected by you only. The different way of collecting primary data

is personal interview, questionnaire, survey etc. As my project is descriptive study there is no

primary data collected as such.

Secondary Data:-

Secondary data is collected from already existing sources in various organization broachers &

records. Secondary data for the study were collected from the magazines, websites & other

previous studies.

To meet the objectives, the study used qualitative research. The descriptive study was done

through review of existing literature that helped in validation and extraction of the important

variables and factors. Data was collected from secondary sources. Secondary sources were

magazines, websites, books, office executives, and company data

DIGITAL MARKETING

Meaning:

Digital Marketing (also Online Marketing, Internet Marketing or Web Marketing) is a

collective name for marketing activity carried out online, as opposed to traditional marketing

through print media, live promotions, tv and radio advertisement.

The rapid growth of Digital Marketing Industry is a direct consequence of the global

phenomenon that is the Internet, and effectiveness of Digital Marketing channels in generating

revenue and awareness. Compared to traditional methods of advertising, Digital Marketing

offers rather realistic costs (particularly important for small- and medium-size businesses and

start-ups), accurate targeting and excellent reporting.

DIGITAL MARKETING CHANNELS

1. SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of affecting the visibility of a website or a

web page in a search engine's "natural" or un-paid ("organic") search results. SEO may target

different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search, academic search, [1]

news search and industry-specific vertical search engines.

As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work, what people search

for, the actual search terms or keywords typed into search engines and which search engines are

preferred by their targeted audience. Optimizing a website may involve editing its content,

HTML and associated coding to both increase its relevance to specific keywords and to remove

barriers to the indexing activities of search engines. Promoting a site to increase the number of

back links, or inbound links, social book marking, directory submission is the another SEO

tactic.

websites by increasing their visibility in search engine results pages (SERPs) through

optimization and advertising.] SEM may use search engine optimization (SEO), which adjusts or

3. SMM (Social Media Marketing)

Social media marketing is the process of gaining website traffic or attention through social

media sites.

Social media marketing programs usually center on efforts to create content that attracts attention

and encourages readers to share it across their social networks. The resulting electronic word of

mouth (eWoM) refers to any statement consumers share via the Internet (e.g., web sites, social

networks, instant messages, news feeds) about an event, product, service, brand or company.

When the underlying message spreads from user to user and presumably resonates because it

appears to come from a trusted, third-party source, as opposed to the brand or company itself,

this form of marketing results in earned media rather than paid media.

Engagement

In the context of the social web, engagement means that customers and stakeholders are

participants rather than viewers. Social media in business allows anyone and everyone to express

and share an opinion or an idea somewhere along the business’s path to market. Each

participating customer becomes part of the marketing department, as other customers read their

comments or reviews. The engagement process is then fundamental to successful social media

marketing.

25 | P a g e

Facebook Marketing

Facebook is the world's most popular social network for both businesses and individuals. With

over one billion users, your friends and fans are likely already using the platform -- and you

should be too!

terminologies well.

around a specific topic. Clicking on a hashtag takes you to search results for that term.

2. MENTION

Sometimes you want to bring a Tweet to someone’s attention, but you still want all of your

followers to see the message. So instead of a reply, use a mention. Include the @username of

whomever you want to mention in your Tweet, and it will appear in the Mentions section (in the

Connect tab). All @username mentions are clickable and link back to the mentioned individual’s

profile.

27 | P a g e

3 REPLY

You can respond to a Tweet by hitting the reply button. When you reply, your response is

public, and will show up in your home timeline and the timeline of the person to whom you are

responding. The reply will also be visible in the home timelines of people who follow both you

the reply. Meaning, someone not in the conversation has to follow both of the people replying to

be able to read both sides of the conversation.

4.RETWEET

original message to all of your followers.

5 LINKS

it will automatically be shortened to 19 characters. This makes it easier to fit long URLs into the

140 character limit.

really interesting to you.

7. DM (direct message)

120 characters or less and leave atleast20 characters so that others can re-tweet (RT).

Utilization of # hash tags Tweets with hash tags get twice the engagement of those

tags and invite followers to re-tweet.

see them until they click on them. It creates an interest among the audience.

platform. Pinterest is now one of the top 10 social networking sites tracked by Hitwise.

29 | P a g e

How brands can use pinterest

Pinterest does not encourage product pushing, this means brands must look at crating boards that

are culture and lifestyle related. You can create boards on trends, behind the scences, preliminary

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT PROCESS FLOWCHART

It is a standard Business Development process followed by the company and ask me to follow, it

is basic process followed by every startup company in order to approach a clients initially.

Sometimes they may send teaser E-mailer of a similar domain to the clients before approaching

them.

1. Market Analysis and Market Research

2. Database Creation of clients

3. Cold Calling4. Fixing meeting

5. Proposal Making for Clients

6. Project Closure

34 | P a g e

PROCESS 1 – MARKET ANALYSIS AMD MARKET RESEARCH

Market research is any organized effort to gather information about target markets or

customers. It is a very important component of business strategy.

The first step of business development process is to know your target audience well before

approaching them. The main objective behind the market analysis and research of target

audience is to know their online presence and how active they are on web. Market research also

helps to estimate the online marketing opportunities of different sectors over the periods. The

intense research is required while studying the online habits of different sectors keeping

competitors in mind.

The proper market research make your task easier while talking to clients as you know about

them well in advance, which help you to answer their question. And can better explain the clients

how they can use web as a medium of approaching the customers in a short span of time.

Market Research includes research about the different sectors. Currently we are targeting on

Travel, Real Estate Sector, Education sectors, Fitness, jeweler in Pune. It includes study of

digital habits of the target sector, their online presence, their online need, etc.

After market research comes the database creation.

35 | P a g e

PROCESS 2 – DATABASE CREATION OF CLIENTS

The second step is database creation; once the market is analyzed the database of sector is

created for a company treasure for future.

Database creation includes recording the details of the clients like company details, their online

presence, concerned person from marketing department and their contact details.

During my internship I have created almost six different sectors database as company wants to

target different sectors for exploring themselves.

NOTE – The complete detail of a database can’t be disclose as per the

company’s policy

36 | P a g e

PROCESS 3 – COLD CALLING

Cold calling is the sales process of approaching prospective customers or clients—typically via

telephone, by email or through making a connection on a social network—who were not

expecting such an interaction. The word "cold" is used because the person receiving the call is

not expecting a call or has not specifically asked to be contacted by a sales person. A cold call is

usually the start of a sales process generally known as telemarketing.

The next step is cold calling. It includes contacting the concerned person, explaining him/her in

brief about the organization, conveying that person how digital marketing is helpful for their

organization to achieve online presence, traffic, leads and branding.

My company guide shared a call script with me and also explained me how to talk, what to talk,

the way we should talk to concern person. He also explains how to get a concern person number

(director or marketing person) from the office people.

The main objective of cold calling is to fix the maximum meetings with a concern person so that

further points can be discussed in detail with them.

Cold calling is a first interaction with a concern person and everyone knows first impression is a

last impression. He taught me the way how first impression is made.

During my internship total numbers of calls made by me was 82, calls to real estate sector and

fitness sector.

NOTE- The details of calls can’t disclose as per the company’s policy

37 | P a g e

PROCESS 4 – FIXING MEETINGS

The next step is fixing meeting, it stage little critical for a startup, convincing the clients and ask

them to meet you is biggest challenge, But that’s a feel of work. Talking to different people of

different traits was a good experience and successfully fixes the 8 meetings out of which 3 was

attended by me and 1 was converted.

Actual meeting gave you the reality check where you are when your clients know everything,

shoots the too many questions and ask you how you are better than other. At that time you

understand the difference between the dorm rooms to the boardroom.

38 | P a g e

PROCESS 5 – PROPOSAL MAKING

The fifth step is proposal making once meeting is done with a concern person where the various

aspects has been discussed already, and the client requirement can known accordingly the

OTHER TASK DONE WAS………..

CONTENT WRITING

Content writing like any other form of writing requires in depth knowledge and great skill. The

success of any write-ups depends on the quality and authencity of the content of the website.

Content writing though does not follow a specific format, yet is certainly guided by some

fundamental principles.

How to write an effective content?

Focus on your customers: remember, your website will gain acceptance among your

viewers only if it has something to offer them.

Choose a simple, impersonal style: your readers are not interested in judging your

scholarship.

You have maximum of 15 seconds to grab your visitor’s attention.

I have been told the way I need to frame a content of a different target sectors. The company

actually wanted to have a research about how online marketing helped such sectors in their

success.

FACEBOOK GENERIC POSTING

For face book posting you firstly need to understand and study the company profile or its domain

well accordingly one can plan a SMM plan especially face book posting plan which gave an idea

what can be posted on a page to get a maximum engagement.

I was doing a generic posting of six existing clients face book page of a company. I was handling

the three real estate company page, one NGO page, in house pages and one page of different

sector.

Before making a plan I did a proper research of the related sectors face book pages of other

companies in order to know what others are doing, which post create the more curiosity,

engagement, accordingly I framed my weekly plan. While keeping in mind the theme of the page

and creativity.

I mostly post the interactive posts on the face book pages so that fans can interact, comment, like

and share. It is because during my research I came to know people respond more to either for

interactive post or for creativity or innovative idea.

NOTE- I can’t disclose the name of a clients as per the company’s policy

digital marketing.

today’s scenario.

complete knowledge about the digital marketing and also explaining how we are better

than others.

4. Most of the sectors initially opt for the digital marketing channels name search engine

optimization, search engine marketing and social media marketing and later they will

think about other channels which mean these three channel high acceptance.
