Slide 8.1 Chapter 8 E-Marketing David Chaffey, E-Business & E-Commerce Management, 5th Edition, Marketing Insights Limited 2012

Slide 8.2 Learning Outcomes Assess the need for separate e-business and e-marketing strategies Create an outline e-marketing plan intended to implement the e-marketing strategy Distinguish between marketing communication characteristics of traditional and new media. David Chaffey, E-Business & E-Commerce Management, 5th Edition, Marketing Insights Limited 2012

Slide 8.3 Management Issues How do we integrate traditional marketing approaches with e-marketing? How can we use electronic communications to differentiate our products and services? How do we redefine our marketing and communications mixes to incorporate new media? David Chaffey, E-Business & E-Commerce Management, 5th Edition, Marketing Insights Limited 2012

Slide 8.4 E-Marketing The definition of marketing by the Chartered Institute of Marketing (http://www.cim.co.uk/) is: Marketing is the management process responsible for identifying, anticipating and satisfying customer requirements profitability Which e-marketing tools can assist? – Web, e-mail, databases, wireless and digital television David Chaffey, E-Business & E-Commerce Management, 5th Edition, Marketing Insights Limited 2012

Slide 8.5 How Do E-Tools Support Marketing? Identifying how can the Internet be used for marketing research to find out customers’ needs and wants? Anticipating we have seen in Chapter 5 that anticipating the demand for digital services(the online revenue contribution) is key to governing the resource allocation to e-business. Satisfying a key issue for e-marketing is how to achieve customer satisfaction through the electronic channel; this raises issues such as: is the site easy to use, does it perform adequately,what is the standard of associated customer service and how are physical products dispatched?

Slide 8.7 Figure 8.1 shows that there are three main operational processes involved in e-marketing. These are: Customer acquisition. Attracting visitors to a web site or promoting a brand through reaching them via search engines or advertising on other sites. Customer conversion. Engaging site visitors to achieve the outcomes the site owner seeks such as leads, sales or browsing of other content. Developing a satisfactory customer experience is vital to this. Customer retention and growth. Encouraging repeat usage of digital channels and for transactional sites, repeat sales.

Slide 8.9 Figure 8.2 The e-marketing plan in the context of other plans David Chaffey, E-Business & E-Commerce Management, 5th Edition, Marketing Insights Limited 2012

Slide 8.10 Figure 8.2 The e-marketing plan in the context of other plans. Figure 8.2 shows that typically there is a hierarchy of plans in an organization with the corporate or business plan informing the marketing plan and this then informing specific market plans for different products or geographical markets. There is usually a separate communications plan which details the marketing campaigns that need to be executed to achieve the marketing objectives from the marketing plan. David Chaffey, E-Business & E-Commerce Management, 5th Edition, Marketing Insights Limited 2012

Slide 8.11 Figure 8.3 SOSTAC – a generic framework for e-marketing planning David Chaffey, E-Business & E-Commerce Management, 5th Edition, Marketing Insights Limited 2012

Slide 8.12 Figure 8.3 SOSTAC – a generic framework for emarketing planning We will use a similar strategy process model for emarketing planning to that introduced in Chapter 5. In this chapter we use the SOSTAC framework developed by Paul Smith (1999) and this summarizes the different stages that should be involved in a marketing strategy from strategy development to implementation (Figure 8.3). The stages involved can be summarized as: Situation – where are we now? Objectives – where do we want to be? Strategy – how do we get there? Tactics – how exactly do we get there? Action – what is our plan? Control – did we get there? David Chaffey, E-Business & E-Commerce Management, 5th Edition, Marketing Insights Limited 2012

Slide 8.13 Figure 8.4 Usage of detailed e-marketing plans in e-commerce organizations Source: Econsultancy (2008) David Chaffey, E-Business & E-Commerce Management, 5th Edition, Marketing Insights Limited 2012

Slide 8.14 Figure 8.4 Usage of detailed e-marketing plans in ecommerce organizations as an international e-consultancy survey of ecommerce managers shows (Figure 8.4). In the longer term, once an organization has successfully defined its approaches to Internet marketing, it is likely that a separate Internet marketing strategy or e-marketing plan will not need to be developed each year since the Internet can be considered as any other communications medium and integrated into existing communications plans as suggested by Figure 8.4. David Chaffey, E-Business & E-Commerce Management, 5th Edition, Marketing Insights Limited 2012

Slide 8.15 Figure 8.5 Inputs to the e-marketing plan from situation analysis David Chaffey, E-Business & E-Commerce Management, 5th Edition, Marketing Insights Limited 2012

Slide 8.16 Figure 8.5 Inputs to the e-marketing plan from situation analysis Figure 8.5 shows the inputs from situation analysis that inform the emarketing plan. These mainly refer to a company’s external environment. The study of an organization’s online environment was introduced in Figure 2.1 and Figure 2.3 where it was noted that there was the immediate (micro-)environment of customers, competitors, suppliers and intermediaries and a broader (macro-)environment of social, legal, political, economic and technological characteristics. Situation analysis will involve consideration of all of these factors and will form the basis for defining objectives, strategies and tactics. Consideration of the SLEPT or macro-environment factors is a major topic that is covered in Chapter 4. In this chapter we will concentrate on what needs to be analyzed about the more immediate marketplace in terms of customers, competitors, intermediaries and market structure. An internal audit of the capability of the resources of the company such as its people, processes and technology also needs to take place. In Chapter 5 we introduced the use of a SWOT analysis for an organizations’ digital channels. The SWOT can be used to summarize the range of analyses covered in this section. Figure 8.6 gives an example of a typical Internet SWOT David Chaffey, E-Business & E-Commerce Management, 5th Edition, Marketing Insights Limited 2012

Slide 8.17 Demand Analysis Questions What percentage of customer businesses have access to the Internet? What percentage of members of the buying decision in these businesses have access to the Internet? What percentage of customers are prepared to purchase your particular product online? What percentage of customers with access to the Internet are not prepared to purchase online, but are influenced by web-based information to buy products offline? What is the popularity of different online customer engagement devices such as Web 2.0 features such as blogs, online communities and RSS feeds? What are the barriers to adoption amongst customers of different channels and services and how can we encourage adoption?

Slide 8.21 Benchmarking Organizational E-Marketing Capabilities Financial performance – current profitability of e-channel activities Marketplace performance – market share and sales trends and significantly the proportion of sales achieved through the Internet. Business and revenue models – do these differ from other marketplace players? Marketing communications techniques – is the customer value proposition of the site clear? Does the site support all stages of the buying decision from customers who are unfamiliar with the company through to existing customers? Are special promotions used on a monthly or periodic basis? Beyond the competitor’s site, how do they make use of intermediary sites to promote and deliver their services? David Chaffey, E-Business & E-Commerce Management, 5th Edition, Marketing Insights Limited 2012

Slide 8.22 Benchmarking Organizational E-Marketing Capabilities (Continued) Services offered – what is offered beyond brochureware?
