World Wide Web. This became a commercial proposition in 1993 after development of the
original concept by Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist working at CERN in Switzerland in
1989. The World Wide Web changed the Internet from a difficult-to-use tool for academics and
technicians to an easy-to-use tool for finding information for businesses and consumers.

The ration of total population & pentration is 1:3.
1.2 Need for the study
Need of internet marketing
The internet maerketing leads to business listings and the advertisements facilities that world
needs provides is very effective because, businesses can have their own page and advertisements
about their business apart from normal listings.Internet marketing also offers search engines.
The online shopping facility will be convenient for people to purchase products online.
On the basis of the above clarification, Internet appears to have a comparatively higher cost of
acquisition. However, Internet has brought with it a very high degree of control to the media
user. All of this makes Internet a highly interactive media but also an expensive one.
If the internet is treated and used exactly like any other medium, it is unlikely to yield major
benefits to the marketer. Its effectiveness is dependent not only on the target audience one is
talking to, but also largely on the ability of the marketer to make use of the real advantages of the
Net like interactivity, flexibility, ability to monitor and the like.
 To the user:
Internet gives more control in choosing content. It offers customization of the content, the way
the user wants to view it. It offers a variety of options for information and entertainment. It
offers a wide range to choose from for the user.

15. Page | 15
It offers tremendous convenience to the user not only in delivery of information, but also in
allowing him to transact — often in a seamless manner.
 To the marketer:
The Internet offers several options to a marketer trying to target a particular community It serves
not only as a channel of information, but also of product distribution. It offers a highly
interactive medium that sometimes (e.g. chats, forums, VoIP) is almost equal to one-to-one
interaction with the audience.
It offers a higher level of identification of the user to the marketer.
It allows the marketer to actually link his spends to action, and pay only on action
This action could be a click on the banner or even product purchased or just a banner impression
or per 1000 impressions. In this ability Internet is, in fact, unlike any other media.
Given the payment options and high interactivity, the Internet offers a medium for high level of
experimentation at a low cost.
Growth of Internet usage and E-commerce in INDIA:
1. According to the research report of Goldman Sachs, India has emerged as the second largest
Internet market in Asia after China with 100 million users in 2005. It estimates that Indian
Internet Users will increase by 130% compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) from 0.5 million
users recorded at end of 1998. As per preliminary findings of the NASSCOM survey, the total
volume of E-commerce transactions in India was about Rs.131 crore in the year 1998-99.

16. Page | 16
2. Out of this volume, about Rs.12 crore were contributed by retail Internet or Business-to-
Consumer transactions, and about Rs.119 crore were contributed by Business-to-Business
