It was done in a prearranged order and the object of the research was revealed to the respondent. The questionnaire consisted of combination of open ended and close-ended question.

MARKETING MIX
The idea of marketing mix was first conceived by Prof. Neil H. Bordon of Harvard Business School, according to him the marketing mix refers to the apportionment of efforts, the combination, the designing and the integration of the elements of the marketing into a program or mix which on the basis of an appraisal of the marketing force will best achieve the objectives of an enterprise at a given time.

The marketing mix is a very important concept in present marketing environment. McCarthy has popularized a four-factor classification of these tools called FOUR Ps: (i) Product (ii) place (iii) price and (iv) promotion.

There are various types of tools within these four Ps. Product: Variety, Quality, Design, Features, Brand name, Packaging, Sizes, Services, Warranties, Returns. Price: List price, Discounts, Allowances, Payments, and Credit Terms Place: Channel, Coverage, Assortments, Location, Inventory, Transport Promotion: Sales Promotion, Advertising, Sales Force, Public Relation, Direct Marketing.

MARKETING RESEARCH PROCESS

In carrying out there marketing responsibilities marketing manager need a great deal of information. Despite the growing supply of information, managers often lack enough information of the right kind or have too much of the wrong kind or have too much of the wrong kind. To overcome these problems, many Companies are taking steps to improve their marketing information system.

The MIS (Marketing Information System) develops information and helps managers to use it more effectively. Internal records provide information on sales, Costs, inventories, cash flow and account receivable and payable. Such data can be obtain quickly and cheaply, but often be adopted for marketing decisions. The marketing intelligence system supplies marketing executives with everyday information about developments in the external marketing environment. Intelligence can be collected from Company employees, Customers, Suppliers and resellers, or by monitoring Published reports, conferences, advertisement, competitor Actions and other activities in he environment.

Marketing Research involves collecting information relevant to a specific problem facing the company.

Every marketer needs marketing research, and most large companies have their own marketing research departments. Marketing research involves a fort steps process.

The first step Consist of the managers are researcher carefully defining the problem and setting the
research objectives, the objectives may be exploratory, descriptive or casual.

The second step Consist of developing the research plan for collecting data from primary and
secondary sources. Primary data collection calls for choosing a research approach (observations, survey and experiment); choosing as contact method mail, telephone or Personal); designing sampling plan, (whom to

survey, how many to survey and how to choose them); and developing research instruments (questionnaire, mechanical).

The third step Consist of implementing the marketing research plan by collecting Processing and
analyzing the information.

The fourth step Consist of interpreting and reporting the finding. Further information analyze help
marketing manager to apply the information and provide advance statistical Procedures and modes to develop more rigorous findings from the information. Finally the marketing information system distributes information gathered from internal sources, marketing intelligence, and marketing research to the right managers at the right managers at the right time, the marketing research may be summarized as Follows:

The Marketing Research Process

Defining the problem And Research objectives

Developing the Research Plan for collecting information

Implementing the research Plan

Collecting and analyzing the data

Interpreting and reporting the Findings.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
All Progress is born of inquiry doubt is often letter than overconfidence for it leads to inquiry & inquiry leads to invention

The above maxim clearly brings out the significances of research for any development growth to take place. The research under taken for this project is both descriptive Analytical in nature. It is descriptive because it attempts to describe the state of affairs, as it exists in the cellular market at present. It is analytical for it user available facts information for analysis to made a critical evaluation of the material. Further this repost is a result of both qualitative quantitative researches. For qualitative research Projective techniques like open ended have been put to use quantitative research has helped to quantity data into information.

RESEARCH DESIGN
A research design is the arrangement of the conditions for collecting, analysis of data in manner that aim to combined relevance to the research purpose with economy in processor that is to save the time and costs. In this particular Project I have to find out the potential Retailer and to analyze the market scenario of Airtel Product.

Research Technique
To start working upon the project, I adopted the following research techniques. 1. Survey of potential retailer and Subscriber through questionnaire. 2. Daily visit to the different Prospective Retailer.

Method used in Processing the Data:I surveyed Shopkeepers of various classes such as P.C.O., General Stores, Book stale; Stationary, Medical Stores, Net caf, Pan Shops, gift shops, Photo state, Electronic shops Mobile Shops. I have used Percentage method and comparative study method to analyze the information that gathers from the questionnaire and informal meetings.

HORIZONTAL MARKETING SYSTEM

In the Horizontal Marketing System two or more unrelated companies put
together resources or programs to exploits an emerging marketing opportunity. Each company lacks the capital, know-how, production, or marketing resources to venture alone, or it is afraid of the risk. The companies might work with each other on a temporary or permanent basis or create a separate company. Adler calls this symbiotic marketing.

DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS
Marketing Channels
Most producers work with marketing intermediaries to bring their products to market. The market intermediaries make up a marketing channel it is also called distribution channel, in other words Marketing Channels are the sets of interdependent organizations involved in the process of making a product or service available for use or consumption.

FINDINGS OF THE STUDY

This study was conducted with a view to know that whether Online Advertising is effective. It has been observed that there are many factors, which effect this statement of Problem like Occupation, Age, life style social factor, For this purpose a structured questionnaire had been designed and analyzed. After analyzing the data the following factors have been found out as major causes for the Online Ads Effectiveness The percentage of Male browsing the net are more than that of Female. Most of the internet users are in the age group of 20-30years with 35% which indicates that youngsters are using more net than that of the other community. Most of the student community use internet more than that of the other occupation as it is a means of entertainment so the advertiser should target the student community to influence their effectiveness. Compared to that of the students self-employed business people browse more for purchasing products and students browse more for information and entertainment. The study clearly stated that most of the internet users surf for entertainment and information rather than for purchasing on the Net. Internet with such high penetration still 53% of the respondents have not purchased any products or services online. Most of the respondents who have purchased online have not involved themselves in purchasing frequently and even the cost of the purchase is also too low where it do not involve much risk. Almost 60% of the people who browse the Net check online Ads while browsing only if they are interesting and informative.

CONSTRAINTS & LIMITATIONS

The sample size is limited to 100 Internet users hence the result of the study cannot be taken as universal. Findings of the survey are based on the assumption that the respondents have given correct information.. Since the respondents had to fill the questionnaire while busy with their hectic schedule, many people were reluctant to answer. The study was conducted only in Delhi NCR and therefore, several other potential samples outside the city were neglected.

CONCLUSION

Is Advertising on the Internet a viable option? I have looked at this question in terms of effectiveness, profitability, and marketing methods. Internet advertising offers increased awareness of companies, an easy method to distribute information, advanced methods of targeting consumers, an immediate and direct line to the customers, and reduced costs in performing these tasks. The only negative aspect is that consumers have to conquer their fears of the Internet - the fear that ordering through an on-line advertisement will get lost in the void of cyberspace. Fears always come with new technology, but it does not take long for people to adjust. As people get more accustomed to finding their product information on the Web, more and more readers will actively seek out Internet advertising sites. Finally Do not try to do "anything and everything" to get the buyer's attention. Everyone who comes to site isn't going to buy. The harder you try to get their attention and force them to read your ads, the more they will try to escape.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Go International with multiple language: Offer your web site in multiple languages. Like many sites come in Dutch, Spanish, Slovene, French, Czech, German, Russian, and Italian. Translation service on websites is also good which will help retain customers.

Use of multi-media As we have seen the potential for banner and Internet ads, informative and creative ads are also preferred therefore hot new designs and innovative sales concepts should be developed. Obviously, the biggest bridge to cross is download time. If a little radio-like audio message that plays from your site upon a click of mouse or a T.V-mini commercial that plays at your banner on click of a mouse, it will be much more effective and interesting.

Use Banner Ads that Give Viewers Chance to Interact with Banners Interactive banner designs can be used wherein the client can print out a product sheet from the banner itself, order a product through a secured order form on the banner itself, click which button he prefer and be directed to a specialized product marketing page.

Free offers The word free is just as effective in advertising online as it is offline. By sponsoring a freebie, a simple name submission drawing can also get viewers to go through ads in the process they become aware of the advertisement.

Sponsor a contest People love to win ANYTHING! Offer your product or service as a prize. When a winner is selected, their name web address and a link to the site can be published. Adding a reciprocal link is a professional way to say thank you and is of no cost to the advertiser.

Web site testimonials Build trust or confidence in your online business by using testimonials. A direct quote with the permission of the customer is a nice touch. Listing a name and e-mail address it acts as a reference that is easy and quick. Keep the testimonials to one or two sentences and keep it simple.

Target Audience Keep your target audience in mind. Business people aren't going to have the time or inclination to participate in game-type ads. On the other hand, teenagers love them. If your target group is younger people, games might be the thing for you. Design your ad to meet the preferences of your target customer. Include statistics When you make a sales claim, back it up with information, including statistics. You might say, "Our saucepans have a non-stick coating that's guaranteed for life. In actual, in-home testing, food did not stick to our saucepans 98.3% of the time."

Provide content on your site As you surf the Web take note of information that supports your advertising claims. Surveys, research, reports, testimonials, etc. can all provide valuable information that could move a customer from the point-of- decision to the point- of-purchase. Offer a free report Give away information free with a purchase or subscription to your newsletter. Since information is what surfers are looking to receive, it will work as a big incentive.

Few tips that will help in making a connection with the clients: 1. Use you or your instead of we or us. 2. Include personal examples rather than general examples. If writing to hair stylists, include examples specific to them. 3. Know your target audience very well. This is the only way you will be able to communicate with them on a personal level.

Write using the language of your target audience. Include industry buzzwords.
