This is achieved by designing digital media in such a way that it requires some type of end user action to view or receive the motive behind that media's creation. For example, to receive a free e-book, a customer might be required to register or fill out a form, benefiting the advertiser with a valuable customer or lead. Digital marketing communications can be distributed at a faster rate and broader reach than traditional marketing communications. While this idea is undoubtedly true, reaching a mass audience quickly by using digital technolgy does not constitute Digital Marketing. In fact, reaching a more targeted audience iteratively is a more clear definition of Digital Marketing Marketing executive are most supportive of Digital Marketing because of the ability to easily track and measure results of the marketing communication. Because of the use digital technology, the results of a digital marketing effort can be tracked by reach, views, clicks, visits, response rates, purchases made and so on. I will explore the details and importance of these types of measurement techniques in the coming weeks, but for now understand that Digital Marketing requires the ability to measure the results of a digital marketing campaign. The use of digital technologies to create an integrated, targeted and measurable communications which help to acquire and retain customers while building deeper relationships with them is digital marketing. It must be digital because of the technology. It is targeted because of the value in the technology allows it to be. It must establish relationships because marketing using digital technology generally requires input from potential consumers. It must be measurable because measurability is inherent in the use of digital technology and inherent in the use of marketing. India has around 13.5 crore internet users today where as the number of homes with Cable and Satellite (C&S) television is 10.5 crore. The expected internet users will reach a figure of 30 crore by 2015 and C&S homes are expected to be 14 crore by 2015. Thus India has a tremendous internet growth and with the customers getting accustomed to e-commerce, the future of e-commerce sector is definitely rosy. An approximated 25 lakh people have transacted online this year, the number is all set to increase with time. Also to mention most of the Amazon customers use internet from PC's/Laptops to order goods. The use of mobile internet is very less at the moment, but with the advent of smart phones the use of mobile internet for e-commerce transactions will soar with time. India has 8 crore mobile net users at the moment, the number is expected to swell to 22.5 crore by 2015. P a g e | 595 Copyright ⓒ 2020 Authors.

[Audio] Studies in India Name Places ISSN:: 2394-3114 (UGC Care Listed Journal) Vol-40 Issue-12 February 2020 Case study of Amazon.com: Amazon was founded by Jeff Bezos in Bellevue, Washington, in July 1994. The company initially started as an online marketplace for books but later expanded to sell electronics, software, video games, apparel, furniture, food, toys, and jewelry. In 2015, Amazon surpassed Walmart as the most valuable retailer in the United States by market capitalization In 2017, Amazon acquired Whole Foods Market for US$13.4 billion, which vastly increased Amazon's presence as a brickand-mortar retailer.[20] In 2018, Bezos announced that its two-day delivery service, Amazon Prime, had surpassed 100 million subscribers worldwide Amazon.com is an Indian e commerce company headquartered in Bangalore. Amazon.com, India's largest e-commerce player for physical goods started with books in 2007 and entered the consumer electronics category with the launch of mobile phones, in September 2010. Since then, it has grown rapidly with the introduction of innovative features like Cash on Delivery (CoD), 30 day replacement guarantee and its own delivery network. Today, their portfolio is spread across 12 categories – from books to music, mobiles, computers, cameras, home & kitchen appliances, TV & home theatre systems, personal and healthcare products and the newly launched stationery items. In addition to these, Amazon has also made a foray into the emerging digital content market with the recent launch of Flyte, the digital music store. The founders of Amazon have probably conquered their dreams with the amazing success of Amazon. Amazon is something which has really opened up the Indian ecommerce market and that also in a big way. Amazon was born with an initial investment of 4 lakh. It was never going to be easy since India has had bad past experiences with e-commerce trading. It was not an easy segment to break into, people were very particular in paying money for something which they had not seen and received. The trust was missing in the Indian customers. So what Amazon had to do was to instill trust and faith in their customers. Amazon began with selling books, since books are easy to procure, target market which reads books is in abundance, books provide more margin, are easy to pack and deliver, do not get damaged in transit and most importantly books are not very expensive, so the amount of money a customer has to spend to try out one's service for one time is very minimal. Amazon sold only books for the first two years. Amazon started with the consignment model (procurement based on demand) i.e. they had ties with 2 distributors in Bangalore, whenever a customer ordered a book, they used to personally procure the book from the dealer, pack the book in their office and then courier the same. In the initial months the founder's personal cell numbers used to be the customer support numbers. So, in P a g e | 596 Copyright ⓒ 2020 Authors.

Since there were not any established players in the market, this allowed them a lot of space to grow, and they did in fact grew very rapidly.

[Audio] Studies in India Name Places ISSN:: 2394-3114 (UGC Care Listed Journal) Vol-40 Issue-12 February 2020 An Analysis of Amazon.com's Business Model: 1) They always provide great customer service. Amazon customers are happier than with some of their competitors like Tradus.in, Indiaplaza.com. 2) Their website is great, easy to use, easy to browse through the products, add products to wish list or to a cart, get product reviews and opinions, pre-order products, make payments using different methods, in short hassle- free and convenient. 3) A very important point is that they introduced the option of cash on delivery and card on delivery. This way people demonstrated more confidence in buying products. An interesting fact, today Amazon sells 20 products/min and has a massive customer base; still more than 60% of the Amazon's customers use Cash on Delivery and card on delivery methods. This is because of two reasons, one is many people do not know how to make payments online. And secondly people do not have immense trust in ecommerce in India. Amazon also provides a 30 day replacement guarantee on its products and EMI options to its customers for making payments. 4) Amazon's reason of success is that it has a great customer retention rate, it has around 15 lakh individual customers and more than 70% customers are repeat customers i.e. they shop various times each year. The company targets to have a customer base of 1 crore by 2015. 5) The investment in social media has been in terms of time and effort. Almost everyone at Amazon monitors social platforms. The digital marketing strategy of Amazon: Amazon has been using digital for both building the brand and acquiring consumers. Amazon has been mostly marketed by word of mouth advertising. Customer satisfaction has been the best marketing medium for them. Amazon very wisely used SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and Google Ad-words as the marketing tools to have a far reach in the online world. Amazon.com official Facebook page has close to 10 lack 'likes'. Amazon recently launched a series of 3 ads with the tag line - "No Kidding No worries". Kids were used to create the adverts to send out the message - if a kid can do it, you can also do it. From a brand preference point of view, if the message is complex, the traditional medium works better as there are some restrictions in terms of innovation on digital. But that doesn't really mean that traditional media is imperative and is a must for building a brand. Social media has guaranteed a large reach for the companies. Today, one of the primary reasons that people are coming on to internet is Facebook. The objective on social media is to build a deeper engagement with P a g e | 598 Copyright ⓒ 2020 Authors.

The company has built a great brand name, they just have to maintain and enhance the same. It needs to keep introducing more products, adapting to the changing needs of the customer with time. The entry of Amazon.com in 2012 in the Indian e-commerce space has been cited as a big challenge to Amazon. However Amazon is a respected Brand name in India and should be able to compete with Amazon. Amazon being a very big company can bring in serious competition to Amazon, since Amazon can bear more losses in the beginning to gain customer base. But again Indian market is growing at a rapid pace as access to internet increases and people become more aware of e-commerce sites and start trusting the same; hence Indian market is sufficiently big at-least for these two giants to co-exist beneficially. The company is currently valued at around 1 billion dollars i.e. 5000 crore. More importantly Amazon has ushered in the e-commerce era in India. This has generated massive interest in ecommerce sector; people are opening websites to sell anything from shoes to apparels to jewels to baby care products etc. This has helped in creating a lot of job opportunities and thus helps the Indian Inc. growth story as well.

Conclusion: In a recent research, digital marketing shows that in India businesses are getting serious about digital marketing and investing in it heavily. In the current scenario, internet is pretty small right now and the larger share of the target market is still available offline. However, going forward, in the next two to three years, digital consumption and spends will go up in India and, for this to happen, both quality and quantity of content needs to grow in India. Once that is achieved, the overall industry spends on digital standing at around 15 to 20 per cent in the next two to three years. Currently the digital medium has its constraints with the number of people accessing and spending time on this. It has to become a large enough medium in terms of consumption to compete with TV. Though people are buying online, a large proportion of their time is still spent offline. Having said that, today, the target group for most online companies is people living in the metros and slowly it is becoming important for a brand to be built online also. And we can see that in other business segments as well. P a g e | 605 Copyright ⓒ 2020 Authors.
