1.1 About the Company1.1.1 History

1.1.2 Overview
The company believes in creating a world of endless opportunities for its clients. It
believes in guiding a client through its initial steps in the world of sales and marketing.
Company’s mission to simplify the efforts of their clients by providing state-of-art profit
generating services.
Company’s main aim is to help customers accelerate revenue by identifying, profiling
and contacting the right decision makers within their target accounts. Anosales services
include providing customized B2B prospect databases, appointment settings and lead
generation programs and database cleansing and appends.
1.2 Demand generation
B2B Demand generation is the main function of a marketing department of a company
that creates demand for your product or service and this generated demand in the form of
leads is provided to the sales team for closing deals with the leads generated. Although
this is much more than only lead generation, as it also includes creating awareness by
conversations through mails and activities like teleprospecting that occur prior to the lead
being passed to sales. The techniques involved in Demand Generation are the actual mix
of programs, typically characterized from low-touch when the customer inquire or made
aware of services techniques like search engine marketing, online content syndication,
15
traditional direct marketing, etc. are used, for medium touch webinars, traditional trade
shows, etc. are used whereas on up to high-touch telemarketing, executive summits,
dimensional mailers, etc. are used.
Demand generation includes:
Qualifying and prioritizing prospects by emails.
Nurturing qualified leads that want to engage with sales by appointment settings and
account profiling.
Aligning marketing with sales in parallel to avoid the sales time wastage in initial
marketing activities.
Measuring and optimizing the results over time by business intelligence.
Demand generation is more technical, focusing on lead nurture and measuring Return on
Investment (ROI) for analysis.
1.2.1 Process of Demand generation Services:

1.2.1.1 Inquiry or Awareness stage: Creating Awareness by different
Marketing techniques
The two broad categories of marketing for Demand generation include Outbound and
Inbound Marketing:
1. Outbound Marketing
Outbound marketing is the type of marketing that aims at broadcasting the message to a
large audience. It is based on the assumption that with higher reach and frequency, the
message would reach its intended audience and would allow the company to reach its
targeted audience. These are traditionally followed techniques which though popularly
followed have become obsolete and inefficient due to the growing need of customization
among the consumers. Outbound marketing has today become ineffective in generating
qualified leads because of improper targeting. Some of the examples of outbound
marketing are Television Ads, radio Ads, banner Ads, Direct Email etc.
2. Inbound Marketing
Common demand generation techniques that use different marketing techniques mostly
use inbound include blogs, social media, videos, webinars, newsletters, and whitepaper --
content-driven resources like weekly emails campaigns that establish your company as a
thought leader, influencer, and information hub in the B2B industry.
Inbound Marketing is one of the recently evolved marketing methods which is
successfully implemented by many businesses to direct relevant content to their target
audience. Since 2006, Inbound Marketing has been one of the most effective means of
conducting business online. Unlike the traditional methods adopted in Outbound
Marketing, Inbound Marketing aims at marketing products or services to people by
carefully targeting audience that is interested in their products. It is regarded as one of the
best ways of converting strangers into customers and promoters of a business. Inbound
marketing focuses on creating quality content for their customers, aligns this content with
the interest of the customers and pulls people towards a company and its products.
17
Inbound Marketing has changed the way in which customers are approached by their
marketers from interruptive to relevant.
In order to carry out inbound marketing, a company needs to first set up an informative
website that attracts visitors naturally by means of search engines, blogs, social media,
product catalogs, etc.
The different ways by which a company practices inbound marketing include:
1 Content: Any inbound campaign is based on the content it generates. Content acts
as the tool or information which attracts the potential customers to the business or to
the website.
2 Social Media Marketing: Social media acts as an amplification tool for the content
created by the businesses. When the content generated is discussed and distributed
across networks of personal relationships, it becomes more authentic and nuanced,
and is more likely to draw qualified customers.
3 Search Engine Optimization: Search engine optimization means optimizing the
search for your content and thus tapping potential customers. It involves
incorporating the best practices of building inbound links and the business website
to maximize and prioritize the website ranking in search engines, where most of the
potential customers begin their buying process.
4 Email marketing: Email marketing is sending a commercial message to a target
group using email. It usually involves using email to send offers, advertisement,
product information, request business and can build loyalty, trust and brand
awareness.
Companies can use individual techniques but a right mix of all of them hand in hand
gives the best results. Through mix of Inbound Marketing as a toll for good digital
presence, through which not only a high quantity of leads, but also quality leads are
achieved for the business.
1.2.1.2 Lead Nurturing
Lead nurturing is about maintaining an ongoing conversation which is more like
maintain relationship with your potential customers. The conversation takes place via
18
the marketing techniques used like giving samples, loyalty points, credit points, as well
as the way in which your company communicates with prospects. Nurtured prospects
buy more, require less discounts, and have shorter sales cycles than prospects who
were not nurtured. The result of nurturing is the Marketing Qualified Lead (MQL).
Sales Qualification includes Demos, Conference Calls, F2F Meetings, Follow-ups
where the prospects now become Sale Qualified leads. Once the MQL are sent to sales
funnel they come under sales qualified lead where further teleprospecting takes place.
And once customer is sales Qualified the deal can be closed by the sales team.
Figure 1.2: Sales Cycle
1.2.1.3 Deal Closing
At this stage the sales deal is closed and the lead becomes a customer. A customer has to be retained for recurring business for which continuous follow ups and feedbacks are taken.
1.3 Research Problem Genesis and BackgroundWhen a search for Anosales id done on google the following picture depicts the situation.

Educate

Maintain relation
19
Source: Google.com
Figure 1.3 :Search result with Anosales keyword
The problem starts from here, google which handles 65% search queries(Comscore,May
2011) when Anosales is searched with its name instead of the website the name of the
developer of the website appears in the search. Also when the services are searched
except for White Paper syndication service no other keyword makes Anosales appear on
the website link within top 10 pages. With this situation it is important for Anosales to
push up the ranking of their Web site within their target market on the Internet by using
keywords that are relevant and appropriate to the product or services that Anosales is
selling. With the increasing use of Google to search services, it should have a well-
optimized Website with SEO. This is essential for its businesses to get themselves above
the fold because if it doesn’t have an optimized Website, it could be missing out on well
qualified traffic and leads. This project thus involves optimizing the search for Anosales
services on Google with recommending and implementing strategies to optimize the
search of services for Anosales anticipating that this will drive the traffic to website and
thus convert online visits to offline sales.
As found out through the interviews held the B2B Demand generation at Anosales is
more focused on Tele calling and needs improved digital marketing to reduce the efforts
20
of their sales team. A plethora of research papers have been written as to what factors
hinder the growth of B2B markets and a number of reports have given recommendations
as to how to overcome those problems. Also in spite of repeated efforts of encouraging
more focus on nurturing, the problems remain same. After finding out the factors we will
try to provide recommendations as to how to overcome those issues.
With the help of the research we will be able to find various constraints that might slow
down the growth of the Anosales. The research also helps us to find why digital
marketing is important for B2B. This will help the company in resolving the problems
which have kept their digital presence low.
We have done research on the different description and keywords used by the
competitors by doing competitor’s website analysis. Also through Google Keyword
finder was used a tool for the rightly searched keywords were analyzed and taken for
doing the search engine optimization of the new website. The new content and SEO for
the company is under development right now after which the Off page SEO has to be
taken care to receive better results.
1.4 Rationale behind the studyAnosales has a very low digital presence. In B2B firms good digital presence plays a
pivotal role and can be a source of competitive advantage for better results. A well
developed and strategized digital marketing can play a pivotal role in being the source of
improvement for their digital presence. The principle reason of undertaking the study is
to analyze the Inbound Marketing at Anosales and to use the Inbound Marketing
techniques to improve its digital presence.
Benefits of the study
For Company
The main objective of the changes recommended was to abreast the company with the
other competitors in terms of marketing. With this study we have tried to increase the
credibility of the company amongst the existing and potential customers by developing a
21
new Company website. With good marketing tools in hand Anosales will definitely
improve its digital presence.
For Student
I have got an opportunity of hands on experience of the email campaigning, follow ups
on the campaign and its analysis. My knowledge of the B2B demand Generation markets
has greatly enhanced. I have applied Web Assesment model WAI which can be used for
any website for analysis, which has enhanced my knowledge for Content of website.
Overall I got a chance of being a part of the corporate world where I will be able to apply
my theoretical knowledge on practical issues.
1.5 Scope of the studyThe scope of the study will be limited to digital marketing. During the project we will
focus on the issues challenges to find why Anosales lack in digital presence. By
identifying the root cause of the problem we would be able to give suggestions and
recommendations as to how to overcome those problems.
Though there are many ways to overcome digital marketing challenges, the major one to
focus here is SEO provided by Google. It is also important to consider the role played by
Third Party online business directories like social Bookmarking for off page SEO. Thus
in order to achieve the desired results the study was restricted to SEO, content marketing,
Email marketing.
The analysis was restricted to India and mostly to Marketing Managers, Sales and
Marketing Manager, CEO, Interns and consultants of Marketing. The study was done in a
period of 1 month. As most of the managers were not available physically so the survey
was taken online from all over country.
22
1.6 Problem Formulation
1.6.1 Online Platforms at Anosales and the issues with them
The following online marketing/advertising formats can be extensively used by Anosales
to reach its customers:
1. Website
Anosales has a fully functional and operational website in place which it uses to
provide information of various services to its customers. It displays the key
information regarding the company, its products and services and blog. But the
website of Anosales is designed in a manner that is dark in colors which is as
observed by Competitor analysis, not a good practice in B2B sales and marketing
industry.
2. Search Engine Marketing
One of the main objectives of Anosales is to draw traffic to the company website.
Hence, the company has to extensively follow Search Engine Marketing to optimize
the search results on Google. It has to constantly aim to update its content and web
pages according to the algorithm of the search engine. Some of the various techniques
that can be used by Anosales to optimize its search results include keyword
optimization, individual web pages for services, updating pictures of the services and
updated addresses on Google Places, One of the main challenges faced by Anosales
includes the presence of very common words i.e. Demand Generation in its
description which makes it difficult to optimize search results. Anosales makes use of
only organic (non-paid) techniques to list higher in the search results.
3. Social Media Marketing
Anosales has a strong social media presence on Facebook and LinkedIn. The
Facebook Fan Page of Anosales has only 54 likes.The main objective of the company
23
from using social media is to cause customer engagement on the platform, product
and service promotion, promoting offers and deals, digital campaigning and customer
feedback/customer relationship management. Anosales should now exploring the
potential of newly emerged social media platforms like Pinterest and Instagram to
leverage the benefits that these photo-based media can serve for the brand. The social
media pages of Anosales are handled by an external agency called C delight
technology.

Figure 1.4: Social Media presence of Anosales
1.6.2 Challenges
The major challenges faced by Anosales in the digital front are:
1. Social Media Platforms: LinkedIn is the best social media platforms. With the
growing limitations on the Facebook model for B2B, it is important for the
company to explore the benefits it can derive from LinkedIn by content addition.
Anosales needs to make a mark on this media.
2. Google Search Algorithm: The Google Search Engine algorithm is keyword,
content based and location based search. Google now also returns location based
search results to its consumers which makes it important for Anosales to update
24
its addresses on various social media platforms, tag images of various services,
make services based individual web pages, etc to optimize its search results. A
good landing page on website is one of the most important tool for converting a
visitor into lead.
3. Website: A website offers a platform to generate revenue and should satisfy a
firm’s goal and objectives(Chiou et al., 2010). In Anosales the assessment of
website as for marketing its services online is poor.
1.6.3 Change in Digital Marketing at Anosales
Anosales is a B2B marketing and sales demand generation company. It has over 30
customers with a recurring customer rate of 97% which is a very important factor in B2B
industry. It therefore becomes very important for Anosales to track the perception of its
present customers towards the company, get customer feedbacks on their services,
organize customer centric campaigns and continuously implement changes in their
strategy.
Platforms: A detailed discussion was carried out with the marketing team at Anosales to
understand and analyze the Digital Strategy of Anosales. The following section discusses
about the main objectives of Anosales from the various online platforms and how can the
company uses these platforms to its advantage.
SEO: SEO is very dynamic and Google keeps changing its rules for the same. We hope
that the continuous change is able to attract more clients thus bringing in more revenue
which will affect the company’s bottom-line in a positive way.
The main objectives of Anosales in making extensive use of online marketing include:
Create Visibility for the company
Customer Engagement on Website
Promoting Services
Sharing Latest Product Information/Customer Awareness
25
1.7 Literature Survey
There have been many studies, research papers and reports that have been written on the
SEO marketing, content marketing and in them they have analyzed the factors as to how
to improve the digital presence. In this section we will look at some of the past studies
that have been done.
The study which stood out was the “Challenges and solutions for marketing in a digital
era” by Leeflang et. al 2013. According to the paper “The increasing prevalence of
digital media and tools in marketing has most affected companies in the past two years
shown in Figure below. Most companies generate less than 5% of their sales online,
digital marketing is a disruptive force having a profound impact in transforming business
models. Integrating digital tools and technologies into existing business models and
adopting current business models to new and/or disruptive technologies are the most
important strategies to address the challenges of the prevalence of digital tools and
technologies threatening existing business models”.

26
Also coming Search engine optimization (SEO) is a set of techniques aimed at having a
site appear toward the top of the search engine results page (SERP) for a certain query
(Malaga, 2007). Practitioner literature reveals that the display order of search engine
results could help shape brand perceptions (e.g., Drèze and Zufryden 2004; Hansell
2005). Despite the increasing importance and rising popularity of search engines,
attention pertaining to search engine effectiveness largely centers on the number of clicks
generated (Kitts and LeBlanc 2004). A website offers a platform to generate revenue and
should satisfy a firm’s goal and objectives(Chiou et al., 2010), so the first focus of a
company should be their website if it is strategically built.
The concept of optimizing a Web site so that it appears toward the top of the results when
somebody searches on a particular word or term has existed since the mid 1990’s. At that
time search engine optimization (SEO) largely consisted of keyword. That is adding the
search term numerous times to the Web site. A typical trick employed was repeating the
search term hundreds of times using white letters on a white background. Thus the search
engines would “see” the text, but a human user would not. But this practice now leads to
penalty.
Another work of influence was the book, Internet Marketing: A Practical Approach by
Alan Charlesworth . The author in chapter 5 of this book explains the importance of
online presence of B2B firms. This chapter also explains the process of Lead generation
and the problem which is present in the lead generation. Further,Chapter 6 gives the
information about Search Engine Optimization (SEO), why SEO is important and
explains On and Off SEO. In this chapter author explains how the SEO marketing can be
helpful to B2B digital presence.
A report published by Smart Insight titled Digital marketing and Ecommerce trends and
predictions for 2014 (Ashley Friedlein, 2013) also shows the following digital marketing
techniques in accordance with their significance. Here Content marketing has topped the
list.
27

Figure 1.6:Most significant digital trends
From the literature survey we have seen that some of the major factors responsible for the
low digital presence is the lack of Inbound Markeitng especially SEO, perception of the
customers about Demand generation, adaptability to content change.
Also on the basis of literature review we can narrow-down the factors responsible for
digital presence are lack of marketing techniques, adaptability of the firm to new
marketing techniques.
28
II RESEARCH PROBLEM
Anosales wants to focus on the aspect of digital marketing. Mainly the SEO to improve
the display order of search results, and examine whether web business users, especially
those that are relatively unknown, can differentiate their brand offerings by optimizing
their web sites’ display order in search engine results pages (SERPs).
Based on the above findings the research problem can be defined as “To analyze the
inbound marketing of Anosales and improve its digital presence”.With the study we
identify and analyze in detail the factors responsible for low digital presence of Anosales.
And improve it by applying Inbound Marketing techniques so that proper steps can be
recommended to overcome the problems.Continuing on the same lines, another part of
the research problem is to design the right combination of digital marketing techniques,
which consists of SEO marketing, Content marketing, Email Marketing and other digital
marketing techniques.
The objectives of the Study are:
1) To enhance the digital presence of Anosales.
2) To observe and experiment the lead generation process.
3) To streamline the Marketing and sales operation at Anosales.
29
III RESEARCH DESIGN
3.1 Research Methodology:
The research undertaken in this project will be of exploratory and descriptive type since
its main purpose is to find out the current state of affairs and to determine how it can be
improved. The methodology can be divided into three parts:
First part, was the collection of the secondary data by Competitor analysis, using tools
like Google analytics, word stream, Alexa (Hernandez, 2009).
Second part was a Questionnaire designed for survey using the experience gained from
first stage analysis and knowledge developed about various digital marketing techniques.
The primary data is collected through an online survey. At some time semi structured
interview method was also used to gain insight into the issue and manual analysis of the
interview was done.
Third part we have used the Experiment. By doing demand generation through Email
Campaigning right from the industry analysis which is targeted to the design of the
template was handled. Later the analysis was also done for the campaign.
Before defining a research methodology type, it is important to describe the important
methods by which services locations can be optimized. Since a major part of this project
deals with On and Off-page SEO, so following important methods were identified to
obtain optimization:
Visual content like infographics and video
Compelling Content
From these facts it can be concluded that users of Demand generation services are mostly
searching for the services either directly or through the search in the Googl search. Since
search forms the major part of traffic, the problem that comes for Anosales is to find a
way to direct the traffic of users searching for services to Anosales’s website and then
converting these online visits to qualified leads. Thus at this stage there Anosales was
facing following challenges:
30
How to drive Business user to Anosales services based on his/her search?
How to rank website high for searches done in Google through keywords?
How to improve Anosales’s digital presence?
For this purpose it was important to determine the important attributes that are searched
in a services. So following mediums were thought for the above mentioned methods
Parameter Method Tools UsedVisual content Images, videos QuestionnaireCompelling Content Keyword analysis Google Analytics tool
3.2 Research Types: Primary Research and Secondary ResearchPrimary research was divided into following parts:
3.2.1 Primary Research:
Using this technique, structured questionnaire was used to understand the attitudes of the
Marketing heads. In the questionnaire fixed-response alternative questions are used.
Following modes were used to collect the survey:
3.2.1.1 Electronic survey:
Email Surveys was used. Email surveys were used with the help of shared Google
Documents in which questionnaire was sent to the email Ids of 10 Employees of
Anosales.

3.3 Questionnaire Design
Based on the factors a 26 item Questinnaire was designed out of which 3 were
demographic details keeping in mind the following important parameters relevant with
digital presence of Demand Generation business:
Demographic information to analyze the target audience
Attitude information related to the usage pattern of searched results
33
Important feature of website which affect search for services.
Also while designing the questionnaire; following aspects were kept in mind:
Close ended questions were asked which were of the type dichotomous, multiple-
choice and scales. Participants were given options and thus forced response
technique was used.
The opening question was kept as a screening question for the Marketing heads
who believe use internet to find Demand Generation services for them instead of
direct marketing to them.
Funnel Technique of asking questions was used wherein general questions related
to online search were asked earlier and then the question were narrowed down to
specific questions.
3.3.1 Validity and scale of measurement:
3.3.1.1 Primary Data Validation
The variables were measured with a five-point Likert scale (1 = very Important,
2=Important, 3= Neutral, 4= Least Important, 5= Not Important).
In order to check if all the constructs of primary data were statistically free of problems in
terms of reliability of items and adheres to internal consistency of data, Cronbach's alpha
was used.
3.3.1.2 Secondary Data validation
In order to use the secondary data correctly, it was evaluated on the following criteria:
The Secondary data is collected from three sources Alexa web Information Company,
Google keyword analytics tool and SimilarWeb.com Since each company has its own
algorithm to determine this traffic, it is very difficult to comment on the accuracy of the
data. Still the data is analyzed keeping in mind the following characteristics:
34
The items of Questionnaire were taken from literature review and the table is present at
the Appendix Annexure no 2. Also the Keywords For the different services after
Competitor Analysis and secondary analysis are in Appendix Annexure 3.

3.3 Sampling plan:
The Sampling Plan involves determination of the appropriate target population, sampling
frame, sampling technique and Sample size. All these are described as follows:
3.4.1 Target Population determination
For Demand Generation services, the target population is the Marketing Manager, sales
and marketing manager, CEO of start-Ups, Consultant and Interns and management
Trainee working B2B firm is taken as a standard.
3.3.2 Sampling Frame and Technique
The sampling frame was defined as business users and decision makers of B2B firms
who are Marketing Manager, Sales and Marketing Manager and Interns outside the
company. From outside the company Consultants, CEO of start Ups and Marketing
Managers were approached for taking the survey. Students interning or management
trainee from management schools were also taken. Among this frame, contacts were
selected using the judgmental sampling techniques.
3.3.2.1 Sample Size
The sample size for the primary data collection was restricted to 42, obtained through
company Records. For the secondary data analysis, the competitors were taken for the
research to identify website components and the keywords searched by the user is the set
of all the keywords entered by different users while searching on Google.
Thus the population here is the internet users and the element is the users searching for
Demand generation on Google.
For the survey conducted, sampling frame consisted of the employees of the company.
We did a total of 2 interviews. Manual analysis has been used on the responses received
from the interviews and have tried to find out the main factors which results in the low
digital presence.
36
In order to design the new marketing techniques we have done analysis of many other
competitors of the same industry.
For the second part I was the part of the observation of employees involved in Demand
generation. I also experimented the process myself by doing Email campaigns and Tele
marketing.

IV DATA ANALYSIS
4.1 Data Analysis Techniques
4.1.1 Descriptive Analysis
Descriptive analysis was used in the questionnaire. Bar chart and pie charts were used
to interpret data at first level.
4.1.2 Correlation Analysis
Karl Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient (r) is used to measure
correlation relation between variables.
4.1.3 Google Analytics tool
Google Analytics tool was used to determine the major traffic sources for the website.
4.1.4 Google and Word stream Keyword finder Tool
For finding the keyword for the website Google keyword finder and keyword finder
tool was used.
4.1.5 Reliability Measures
Since multiple Likert questions were contained in a survey/questionnaire that form a
scale, its internal consistency (reliability) was measured by using Cronbach's alpha.
Minimum acceptable level of 0.70 was taken as a standard as recommended by
Nunnally (1978).
4.1.6 Web Assessment Index: The website of Anosales was assessed by WAI by
Miranda and Banagil in 2004. The index is based on 4 factors Accessibility, speed,
navigability and Content of the website. The assessment table is present in the
Appendix. The average value for b2B firm should e above 45 according to this Index.
4.2 Data Analysis Methodology
The method of analyzing the data is described as follows:
4.2.1 Data Validation
Firstly, validation of data has to be done in order to be sure that data is free from any
coding error. This also includes reliability check for the scales of measurement used
38
in the questionnaire. An important part of the research is to make sure that the survey
was directed to the correct set of audiences or the target group.
4.2.2 Preliminary Analysis
In order to check the assumptions made for the research are true and to get some first
impressions of the data, tabular and graphical method was used. The figures in tables
are represented mostly in percentage forms to have a clear understanding of the
important variables. For the graphical representation, both the bar charts and pie-chart
method were used. From the bar charts, demographic interpretation was done.
4.2.3 Correlation analysis
The correlation analysis was carried out to see any violations of the independence
assumption. In this research, a correlation analysis was performed to see that how
users rate the importance inbound marketing and they search till what page wiith
what kind of keywords.
4.2.4 Categorical data analysis
Categorical data analysis was carried out to see whether the data that was correlated
has categorization. In this research, the results that were obtained were checked for
this assumption to see whether gender is having any preference for inbound
marketing. However results interpreted showed that the variables were independent of
such categorization.
4.2.5 Tool aided analysis
Following tool based analysis was performed:
Google keyword tool: Google keyword tool was used to analyze the traffic sources for
the important keywords targeted by Anosales while promoting its business online. This
can be later utilized to see the traffic driven by these keywords for the third party listing
business directories.
Mail Chimp Analysis: This was used to see the impact of the suggestions made. This
tool is used to analyze the number of opening of Emails by using different subject lines.
39
4.3 Issues & Challenges in the current Demand generation Industry:
4.3.1 Single Sales and Marketing team
The lack of different marketing sales and marketing team is a problem as the work of
sales and marketing is different and require different skills. Sales team which also
does marketing by generating demand rather than involved in closing the deals, leads
to wastage of resources and thus decrease the efficiency of the sales team.
Thus there should be a clear difference between the sales and marketing teams in any
B2B organization as the two have different roles to play in the sales cycle which will
help Anosales to enhance their Inbound Marketing in an efficient way.
4.3.2 Lack of Information & Awareness
One of the most important reasons which are pegging back the digital presence is the
lack of Awareness in B2B firms about the various type of Inbound Marketing
advantages due to their main focus on sales. Sometimes even the Demand Generation
is seen as cold sales call and perceived not as a service but forced selling of products.
Many employees find tele-calling as the best method for demand generation. Due to
lack of information about these services or wrong perception of these services B2B
firms are not ready to go ahead with Inbound Marketing.
4.3.3 Lack of Personalized Marketing
The lack of personalization in the Marketing techniques giving the prospect a sense of
commonly sent mails reduces the number of responses by prospects. The 3 Email
campaigns with different subject line shows the difference in the opening rate of the
mail.
4.4 Primary Data Analysis
4.4.1 Reliability Analysis
For the below three items from Questionnaire it can be seen that cronbach alpha is
0.597(moderately acceptable).Measuring importance of inbound marketing.
40
How much do you agree for the following
1)I believe that tele-calling is not the best method of demand generation.
2)I believe Lead nurturing is important for B2B demand Generation
3)I believe perceived value of demand generation in market is like direct selling
Figure 4.1 Item 6,7, 8 from Questionnaire
Cronbach alpha of a scale should be higher than 0.5 and ideally higher than 0.7
(Rivard and Huff, 1988)
For the below three items from Questionnaire it can be seen that cronbach alpha is
0.608(moderately acceptable).
Figure 4.2: Items 16,17,18 from Questionnaire
From the Analysis of the above item from Questionnaire it was found that Images and
Videos are the most preferred and effective medium for information dissemination.

From the abalysis it can clearly seen that 69% respondent strongly prefer images and
52% prefer videos.
4.4.2 Correlation analysis
A correlation was found out between the inbound Marketing as strategy for demand
generation and using website as a tool for it.To find out the correlation, Pearson’s
Correlation coefficient was used as shown below:
Thus it can be concluded that there exists a direct correlation between the people who
like to search for the services themselves using internet and their chance of getting
influenced through a good website.
To determine the various Keywords used by people for finding Demand Generation
services, a multiple choice question was asked to the respondents. Following figure
shows the results for the same:
Figure 4.4:Most frequently used Keywords
So mostly people search for Keyword like Demand generation and Lead generation
looking for the Demand generation services on their own by going through the company
websites.
42
4.4.4 Experimentation after the survey result
It was also found through survey that Personalization and subject line are the most
important factor for the opening or reading of the mail.
Figure 4.5:Most important Components of Email
This was also proved by experimenting through the tool called Mail Chimp where
different subject line were used and the opening rate of the mail changed by 30% . With
initial opening rate as 17.2 to 22.4 in the second Email campaign.
4.5 Secondary Analysis
1) Through Secondary data Analysis it was observed that the ranking of Anosales is 4768407 by Alexa ranking. (Alexa ranking used by Hernandez, Jimenez & Martin, 2009).
Source: Alexa.com accessed 22 April
Figure 4.6: Alexa Ranking
43
2) Through Manual analysis of the website it was found that there were no keywords and
description in the HTML of the page source.As the most effective way of digital
marketing is to stay at the top lists of serach engine (Yalcim and Kose, 2010) depending
on which row on the result page is satisfactory(Iylier, 2009).
Figure 4.7: Initial HTML of Anosales
3) The average no. of visitors is 2.5 per month as observed from data of 1 year and the
month from 22 April to 22 may. Through Google Analytics it was found that the
company getting the web traffic was from website directly. The number of users visiting
the website is very less when observed for a period of a month from april to May.The
figure below shows that only there were only 2 visitors for the period of 30 days from
April 22nd to May 22nd 2014.

marketing and Email marketing.Also as they are not doing regular Email marketing it is
not possible for Anosales to do a good lead nurturing. A regular Email campaign is
required for lead nurtutring.

VI RECOMMENDATIONS
6.1 With respect to the Market
6.1.1 Creating Awareness and providing information through Website
One of the first and foremost requirements today is to create information regarding the
Demand generation services and how they are beneficial for the B2B industry. The
biggest bottleneck in developing a deep and a competent B2B market has been the lack of
information and awareness regarding these services among B2B firms. This has been the
prime reason as to why firms are not involved in investing in Demand Generation
services.
What is required to have is the right dissemination of the content through the right ways
to the right B2B market. This can be achieved when the information is seen as important
by the prospect and when the prospect is aware then nurturing can be done. Also the
information should be such that anyone wanting to find anything related to the services
should be able to access on the website by right and easy content like videos, Info-graphs,
case study or white paper etc.
Having all information in one place on the website with good content will help the pull
the customers. It will also help in knowing a fair value of the current services served by
the B2B firm.
Having a demo or sample for all the information and creating awareness regarding the
services can go a long way in solving a lot of the issues. What it will surely do is to take
care of the first hurdle and make people a lot more interested in the B2B demand
generation services. Lack of awareness is one of the major reasons B2B demand
generation markets having digital presence.
6.1.2 Increasing the Digital presence
The biggest problem is that B2B firms are more focused on quick sales than using
marketing as a tool for long term relationship with the customers. So the foremost thing is
50
to create digital presence by techniques like SEO, content marketing, Email marketing
and other inbound marketing techniques.
6.1.3 Having more innovative ways of digital presence in the market
One of the other major reasons for low digital presence is the disinterest of the marketing
heads and other decision makers. With new innovative ways like free white paper
syndication, Infographic syndication can evoke interest in the potential customers in the
B2B market and can improve Marketing and thus the digital presence of company.
6.2 With respect to the Company
6.2.1 Development of different and efficient Sale and marketing teams
One of the major recommendations after observing the lead generation process a
suggestion to develop different robust and an efficient sales and marketing team in
organization. The different teams with different skills can take care of their task they are
best in.
