Each day –\u003cbr\u003ewith every hour and every minute – it is growing even bigger and increasingly\u003cbr\u003ecomplex. Anything and everything that you imagined is just a click away. Many of us\u003cbr\u003ecan no longer imagine a life without it. Indeed, already thousands of people already\u003cbr\u003emake their living from the World Wide Web. With the growth and spread of the\u003cbr\u003einternet, specialized techniques aimed at developing businesses on the web have\u003cbr\u003ealso developed.\u003cbr\u003eDespite all of the technological development, however, the basis of the global\u003cbr\u003eeconomy is still the same – buying and selling. For the producers to advertise and to\u003cbr\u003emake their wares available they need to market it.\u003cbr\u003eConsumers also need a place where they can exchange their money for the goods\u003cbr\u003eand services they need. In the modern world, the primary marketplace is\u003cbr\u003eincreasingly becoming the internet. ‘Internet marketing’ is the crux of all Internetbased\u003cbr\u003ebusinesses and is increasingly important for other businesses as well. There\u003cbr\u003eare few businesses of decent size that do not have a presence on the internet.\u003cbr\u003eHowever, the dynamics of marketing on the internet is very different from ‘regular’\u003cbr\u003emarketing. Offline, we use things like billboards, the sides of buses, adverts on\u003cbr\u003etelevision and radio, salespeople etc. to market our products. If you are on the other\u003cbr\u003eside of the buying ‘equation’, that is, a consumer, you learn of new products through\u003cbr\u003ethese marketing tools. More often that not, we do not have a choice about what and\u003cbr\u003ewhen marketing information is available to us. In most cases we cannot choose to\u003cbr\u003eignore the huge billboard on the road or the side of the bus unless you decide to\u003cbr\u003edrive with your eyes closed – but that is not something that is generally encouraged.\u003cbr\u003eYou could change the channel when adverts show up on your favorite TV or radio\u003cbr\u003eshow – but it is more than likely you will hear or see it again.\u003cbr\u003eWith marketing on the internet, the dynamics are a somewhat different. The internet\u003cbr\u003eis vast and intricate. It is an intense web of information that needs some skill to\u003cbr\u003enavigate, but if you do so, you can rest assured that your needs will be met. The\u003cbr\u003einternet gives you more choice. You can choose which website to click on or ignore.\u003cbr\u003eThis means that the average internet user or anyone looking to do business on the\u003cbr\u003enet tends to be a little smarter than someone who does not use the internet for\u003cbr\u003eThis ebook was brought to you by www.webtrafficmachines.com 5\u003cbr\u003ebusiness. To market to a more intelligent set of buyers, the seller also has to elevate\u003cbr\u003ehis\/her game and be a smart marketer. You need to have an extra edge to make\u003cbr\u003eyour business or website stand out amongst the millions out there.\u003cbr\u003eIt is said that word-of-mouth is the strongest marketing tool. For example, friends\u003cbr\u003estarting a new shop, café or blog will most probably tell you to ‘spread the good\u003cbr\u003eword.’ We are more likely to believe our friends and peers than a stranger on the\u003cbr\u003etelevision or radio. This is because we know our friends\/peers well and we often\u003cbr\u003eshare the same concerns, needs and tastes as the people around us. If something is\u003cbr\u003egood enough for them, it is good enough for you.\u003cbr\u003eWord of mouth could be defined as the passing of information verbally, sometimes\u003cbr\u003erecommendations, but most commonly it is just general information. It is usually\u003cbr\u003einformal. Word of mouth was traditionally considered to be a person to person, face\u003cbr\u003eto face conversational characteristic. However, as modes of communication\u003cbr\u003echanged, phone conversations, text messages, blogs, chats, message boards and\u003cbr\u003eemails are also a part of ‘word of mouth’. Notwithstanding how it works or what\u003cbr\u003echannel it goes through, word of mouth is probably the most personalized form of\u003cbr\u003emarketing and the strongest.\u003cbr\u003eA related marketing concept is that of the opinion leader. In any social organization\u003cbr\u003ethere is a ‘leader’, one who is respected and held in esteem by the rest of the group.\u003cbr\u003eThis could be for a variety of reasons – age, intellect, intelligence, or access to\u003cbr\u003einformation. It could also happen in any setting – work, school, home, bar etc. There\u003cbr\u003emay be different opinion leaders according to subject. For example, when talking\u003cbr\u003eabout the efficiency of washing detergents, the family is more likely to follow the\u003cbr\u003eopinion of the mother. At work, we generally tend to follow the opinion of the boss,\u003cbr\u003esimply because he\/she knows more, is better qualified or more experienced. At least\u003cbr\u003ein theory, there should be some reason why we respect what the opinion leader has\u003cbr\u003eto say and then follow it.\u003cbr\u003eWhat we need to remember when marketing on the internet is that internet use","brand":"0penny.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47101396353264,"sku":"2940016477527","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016477527_p0.jpg?v=1763636284","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016477527","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
