 INTRODUCTION

Digital marketing– often called online marketing or e-marketing is essentially any marketing
activity that is conducted online through the use of internet technologies.

According to Dave Chaffey (2006) Internet marketing can be simply defined as achieving
marketing objectives through applying digital technologies. It is the application of Internet and
related digital technologies in conjunction with traditional communications to achieve marketing
objectives. It comprises not only advertising that is shown on websites, but also other kinds of
online activities like email and social networking.

Every aspect of e-marketing is digital, meaning that it is electronic information that is

transmitted on a computer or similar device, though naturally it can tie in with traditional offline
advertising and sales too. Although the relative importance of the internet marketing for an
organization still largely depends on the nature of its products and services and the buying
behavior of its target audience, there has been a global dramatic change in media consumption
over the last 10 years towards digital media which means that the internet is becoming important
for all categories.

Hence, the internet as a communication medium has broadened the scope of marketing
communications considering the number of people who can be easily reached including the
locations where they are reached, for example, from desktops to mobile smart phones. It has also
increased the richness of marketing communications by combining text, video, and audio content
into rich messages

Customer engagement is vital components to help marketers maintain a lasting relationship with
their customers. To achieve this goal, companies must utilize current digital tools to create a
strong online presence.

more photos with the product.

media takeovers drive the influencer’s following to social media channels increasing new
followers and unique views.

 REVIEW OF LITERATURE

What is Social Media?

1) Social media is the interaction among people in which they create, share or exchange

information and ideas in virtual communities and networks. Andreas Kaplan and Michael

Haenlein define social media as "a group of Internet-based applications that build on the

ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, and that allow the creation and exchange

of user-generated content. Furthermore, social media depend on mobile and web-based

technologies to create highly interactive platforms through which individuals and communities

share, co-create, discuss, and modify user-generated content. They introduce substantial and

pervasive changes to communication between organizations, communities, and individuals.

Social media differ from traditional or industrial media in many ways, including quality, reach,

frequency, usability, immediacy, and permanence. There are many effects that stem from internet

usage. According to Nielsen, internet users continue to spend more time with social media sites

than any other type of site.

2) Social media is the collective of online communications channels dedicated to

community-based input, interaction, content-sharing and collaboration. Websites and

applications dedicated to forums, microblogging, social networking, social bookmarking, social

curation, and wikis are among the different types of social media.

3) Social media broadly defined consists of any online platform or channel for user

generated content. By this definition, for example, WordPress, Sharepoint, and Lithium qualify

as social media, as do YouTube, Facebook

and Twitter. Social media more narrowly defined includes only channels for user-generated

content, as distinguished from platforms, which are referred to as social technologies. By this

definition, for example, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter are social media, and WordPress,

Sharepoint and Lithium are social technologies. Joe Cothrel – Lithium Technologies, Inc.

4) Social media is digital content and interaction that is created by and between people. Sam

Decker – Mass Relevance

5) Social media is a shift in how we get our information. It used to be that we would wait for

the paper boy to throw our news on the doorstep (or into the flowers) and we’d read the paper,

front to back, with our morning coffee before going to work. Now we get information, 24/7 and

on the fly, from anywhere. In the more traditional senses, online, on our phones, and through the

social platforms. Social media allows us to network, to find people with like interests, and to

meet people who can become friends or customers. It flattens out the world and gives us access

to people we never would have been able to meet otherwise. Gini Dietrich – Arment Dietrich,

Inc.

6) All the traditional media print, broadcast, search, and so on provide platforms for delivery

of ads near and around relevant content. Social media are platforms for interaction and

relationships, not content and ads. This is quite similar to what Ted McConnell, General

Manager-Interactive Marketing and Innovation at Procter & Gamble Co. likes to say about social

media. Bryan Eisenberg – Author of Waiting for Your Cat to Bark (Affiliate link)

7) Markets have become conversations. Social media are the online platforms and locations

that provide a way for people to participate in these conversations. For individuals it is a way to

connect and share content with friends and like-minded people. For businesses it’s a way to tap
into what people are saying about your brand, your product and/or your service, participate in the

conversations, be open to new ideas and then use these insights to make better business

decisions. Sally Falkow.

8) Social media is people’s conversations and actions online that can be mined by

advertisers for insights but not coerced to pass along marketing messages. It’s the new form of

media that does not exist until it happens and that cannot be bought by advertisers to carry their

messages. Dr. Augustine Fou – Marketing Science Consulting Group, Inc.

9) Social media is the tools, services, and communication facilitating connection between

peers with common interests. Chris Garrett – Chrisg.com

10) Social media are the online technologies and practices that people use to share content,

opinions, insights, experiences, perspectives, and media themselves. They are media for social

interaction. Howard Greenstein – Social Media Club-NYC

11) Social media is an ever-growing and evolving collection of online tools and toys,

platforms and applications that enable all of us to interact with and share information.

Increasingly, it’s both the connective tissue and neural net of the

Web. Ann Handley – MarketingProfs, Author with C.C. Chapman of Content Rules (Affiliate

link)

12) Social media is a reflection of conversations happening every day, whether at the

supermarket, a bar, the train, the watercooler or the playground. It just allows for those
conversations to reach a broader audience due to digital being a megaphone for scale Sarah

Hofstetter – 360i

13) Social media is online text, pictures, videos and links, shared amongst people and

organizations. Dave Kerpen – Likeable Media

14) Social media is not one thing. It’s five distinct things:

• It’s a strategic tool for uncovering business insights.

• It’s managing the influencers who are driving the conversation around your brand.

• It’s marketing that provides value and turns customers into evangelists.

• It’s a critical component customer care.

• It’s transforming your organization to meet the transparency and humanity customers

now expect of brands. Adam Kleinberg – Traction

15) Social media is digital, content-based communications based on the interactions enabled

by a plethora of web technologies. Rebecca Lieb, author of The Truth About Search Engine

Optimization (Affiliate link)

small or large, local or global, could afford to ignore. Initially small businessman often found the

prospect of online marketing a daunting one, because it was difficult to know which areas to

focus on. Thus social media marketing being an extensive subject with a complex hierarch

created an urge to familiarize with it and to find the plan or strategy explored by the small and

micro business

The purpose of the research is to study, how businesses can leverage social media (Digital

marketing) to penetrate their markets, reach their customers and develop relationships in a

personal and direct manner that can catapult their brand and raise their awareness as successfully

at par with any large business. The study also throws light on the influence of digital marketing

on consumer’s online buying decisions and behaviour.
