Search Engine Marketing
By:Deloitte
Advantages of SEM
Search engine marketing has proved to be a very powerful tool for generatingrevenues for the
marketer. Reasons why a marketer employs search engine marketingtechniques can be listed
below:
1. Visibility: Search engine marketing helps in creating awareness and enhancing visibilityof the marketer amongst competitors and alternators of the marketer. This visibility is not
restricted to domestic market only but extends to international market as well. It is, thereforeespecially suited to SMEs.
2. Quicker turnaround time: An online Internet user will click on an advertisementusually
when he/she is looking out for that particular service/ product. Thus themarketer can get better leads from here, which can be converted into customers ifdealt with a good sales pitch.
3. Effective outreach:Search engine marketing helps in reaching out the targetaudience in a
more effective manner. The advertisement appears only when the usertypes in a query for thedesired product/service. Thus the reach of the advertisement ismore concentrated and more
confined to the people who have a need for it in the nearfuture.
4. High ROI: A marketer is charged only for the advertisements, which are clicked.They have to buy out the keywords and it is upto them what number of keywords arebought by him, thus
reducing their marketing expenses, which in turn increases theROI.

5. Competitors inaction - your opportunity: Nearly 46% of marketers surveyed by Cyber Atlas
Research allocate less than 0.5% of their annual marketing budgets on search engine Marketing
(SEM) services. Only 10 percent spend more than 25% of their marketing budgets on increasing
their visibility on the Web.)
6. People use search engines - a lot The majority of Web users search the web every day (57%). The only thing done online more
often than using search engines is checking email - 81% check email every day
7. Billions of pages. Millions of searches
There are more than 320 million searches are made through search engines and directories eachday. Google alone had over 55 billion searches during 2002. The exponential growth of the Webmeans there are now billions of web pages and consequently this has increased peoples reliance
on search engines as a way of locating information online.
8.) Qualified traffic ready to buy Traffic search engines and directories deliver to websites is highly qualified because users are
actively searching for the information. This is the major difference to traffic delivered by banner advertising.
9.More Effective Than BannersThere are 5 ± 6 times more online purchases made from traffic delivered by search engines
compared to banner advertising. The cost for online marketing campaigns using search engines is
significantly lower than that for banner advertising. Not only are search engines highly effectiveonline marketing tools ± they¶re also cost efficient.

E-BUSINESS STRATEGIES
Supply chain management: effective management of the supply chain can be handled with the
help of e-business strategies, which will ensure better coordination between the wholesalers andthe retailers of various products. Better integration of the supply chain right from the source till
the final delivery of the product can be effectively implemented using e-business strategy. This
also brings us to the point of e- commerce where a parallel network of buying and selling can be
observed using dissemination of information over the Internet. Everything ranging from
automobiles to electronic gizmos can be bought over the Internet in a hassle free manner under
the aegis of sound supply chain management.
Customer service and customer relationship management: effective e-business strategies
would involve better customer service and customer relationship management ensuring the
highest level of consumer satisfaction. E business is targeted at providing the customer-friendlyservices, which would include the timely delivery of goods right at the doorstep of the consumer.
Inventory and service management integration: e business strategies can also help in better
inventory and service management integration through formulating specific plans for inventory
accumulation and purchasing machinery and equipment which will avoid unnecessary purchases
which can lead to higher expenditures entailing different tax implications.
Tactical operations alignment: tactical operations directed towards short-term goals as opposed
to strategic planning aimed at long term goals can be better coordinated implementing the e-
business
E-business diverges from the traditional sphere of business by speeding up the business activities
and giving a totally new dimension and definition to businesses worldwide be it whether
partnerships, joint ventures or large corporations. The internet, intranet, cellular networks and
other forms of digital technology have created a niche value chain among clients, employees,
suppliers, stakeholders and traders coordinated in the world of web marketing. The tools and
pillars of e-business strategies include acceptance of payments over the Internet, online
advertising, on-line trading and auction deals over the Internet. E-business strategies will also
differ for small and medium-sized businesses. Apart from regular sources, e-business strategies
can generate revenue from maintenance of current channel integrity, revenue made from paidmarketing alliances, revenues derived from franchisees and subscriptions.

m-commerce (mobile commerce)
Mobile Commerce refers to wireless electronic commerce used for conducting commerce or business through a handy device like cellular phone or Personal Digital Assistant (PDAs). It is
also said that it is the next generation wireless e-commerce that needs no wire and plug-in
devices. Mobile commerce is usually called as µm-Commerce' in which user can do any sort of transaction including buying and selling of the goods, asking any services, transferring theownership or rights, transacting and transferring the money by accessing wireless internet service
on the mobile handset itself.
The next generation of commerce would most probably be mobile commerce or m-commerce.Presuming its wide potential reach all major mobile handset manufacturing companies are
making WAP enabled smart phones and providing the maximum wireless internet and webfacilities covering personal, official and commerce requirement to pave the way of m-commerce
that would later be very fruitful for them.
Advantage of m-Commerce
M-commerce has several major advantages over its fixed counterparts because of its specific
inbuilt characteristics such as ubiquity, personalization, flexibility, and distribution, mobilecommerce promises exceptional business market potential, greater efficiency and higher
fruitfulness.
Thus it is not surprising that mobile commerce is emerging much faster than its fixedcounterpart. M-commerce is more personalized than e-commerce and thus needs a gentle
approach to appraise m-commerce applications.
Areas / Uses of m-commerce
In the current commerce industry, mobile commerce or M-Commerce has been entered in
finance, services, retails, tele-communication and information technology services. In thesesectors, M-Commerce is not only being widely accepted but also it is being more used as a
popular way of business/ commerce.
Finance Sectors
Mobile Commerce works vastly in finance sector including all big and major financial institutes,
banks, stock market and share brokers. Whenever any user needs money or wants any sort of
banking and finance related services, he/she can access the services or register services via voicecalling or via Short Message Services (SMS) services. WAP based mobile handsets allow theuser to access the official website of the institute.
User can transact money or transfer money, or pay the bill from its bank account using mobile
commerce facilities. Banks also provide round the clock customer care services, which can beused any time through voice calling. Some customer care services are also provides non-voice

The share broker sends market trends and tips of trading on their clients' mobile. Also broker can
suggest the appropriate stock for intra-day trading to their users.
Telecommunication Sectors
Mobile has played a giant role in communication technology through its versatility andsuperiority. The ubiquity and easy usage has further made it extremely popular across the globe.
It has already surpassed the fixed phone in the world. Software platform is essential for operatingany mobile and this tool has revolutionized the communication world because of its functioning
as a small computer.
The booming popularity has forced the corporate world to develop a new commerce platform
that can reach to masses. Mobile commerce has attracted massive traffic because of its uniquecharacteristics. The user can change the service of any financial institute or banks if gets better product and service or user is unsatisfied with the service of the subscribing company.
Besides this several bills can be paid using mobile and user can also check the available balance,

able to book the order, can hire carrier/courier services and above all could also pay the duesrelated to it through mobile.
Information Sector
After the bursting of dotcom bubble, e-commerce has gone downwards to hell. But the evolutionof mobile commerce has again worked as ambrosia for them. A separate sector has been evolved
to exercise on this field for the IT experts. The webmasters have skilfully exploited this new area
of IT-enabled commerce.
In the IT field, mobile commerce has been used massively to deliver financial news, stock

History of m-commerce
Despite of huge popularity of mobile commerce, it is yet in the initial stage and can be further expand in to all the fields, which affect the human life. The assumption of mobile commerce is
not so young as it mushroomed so early from adopting this technology.
It initially begins with the use of wireless POS (Point Of Sale) swipe terminals and has sincethen made its way into cellular phones and PDA's (Personal Digital Assistants). The first
enabling m-commerce technologies were presented through Wireless Application Protocol(WAP) and i-mode mobile Internet service. WAP builds on digital phone technology and first
emerged on 2.5 G phone technology that allowed users to browse the Internet. This technologycemented the way of m-commerce, which has strongly developed on 3G-phone technology.
Nokia has first introduced m-commerce application software Nokia toolkit version 4.0.
The future of m-Commerce seems extremely bright because several experiments are going on to
introduce the upgraded version of mobile likely to emerged with the evolution of 4G mobile
technology.
m-commerce in India
In India, Mobile Commerce is still in the development phase as the use of mobile phones for
carrying out transactions is very limited. However, the development is taking place at a nicespeed and in the coming years, Mobile Commerce is most likely to make its presence feel as
companies and businesses have started understanding the benefits of Mobile Commerce.
Some of the companies have even incorporated this technology. Airtel, ICICI, Reliance are someof the companies/businesses that are using this technology as their users are allowed to make
limited purchases from their phones. For now, the users are mainly allowed to pay phone bills,utility bills, book movie tickets, book travel tickets with their cell phones. However, more
services will be introduced in coming years. Security is one of the main concerns of MobileCommerce as it¶s very important to offer secure transactions and this is the reason why Mobile
Commerce is still in the development phase in India.
For now, users are mainly allowed to do Mobile Banking i.e. to access the bank account with acell phone in order to pay the utility bills. With the current rate of development, users will be
soon allowed to purchase products, advertise, to take part in auctions and pay bills with the helpof a cell phone, while they are on the move.
The essentials for the success of m-commerce in India
Even as we were marveling at the way Internet has changed our lifestyles, the increasing
popularity of the mobile phone and developments in mobile technology have heralded a new erain mass communication and commerce for the masses. Touted as the next generation of e-
commerce, mobile commerce (m-commerce) enables users to access the Internet without theneed to find a place to plug in. A vast segment of the population who neither had a landline nor a
bank account (unbanked) against their name have made a generation leap and not only do theyown a mobile handset, but are now well poised to transact on their mobile phone. And this is a
8/7/2019 Gunjan e business
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/gunjan-e-business 12/14
reality today, thanks to a progressive regulatory regime, huge capitals outlays for network expansion by telcos, reduced tariffs and consistent reduction in the cost of mobile handsets.
Having said this, should one write the fate of m-commerce on the lines of e-commerce which is
used by only 5% of the total Indian population for transactions? Will m-commerce too burst after
a rapid boom? Not really. The mobile penetration is at ten times of the PC penetration and isexpected to become 1 bn by 2014. The mobile channel has provided a rare opportunity not onlyto leapfrog years of poor infrastructure development but also in bypassing geographical
constraints to bring massive benefits and lifestyle changes to millions of under-served peopleacross India. The average Indian does not own a PC, but the chaiwala, the taxiwala, the farmer,
the housewife, the kabadiwala, just about everyone, has a monthly budget to keep their mobile phone alive.
There is this school of thought that the existence of a huge unbanked population and the lack of
credit card penetration will hinder the growth of m-commerce in India. I don't subscribe to thisschool. And my reasoning stems out of my interactions with various global m-commerce players,
over these years. Let us take markets like Vietnam and even Cambodia, for instance, which aremuch poorer economies as compared to India and have much lesser credit card population and
yet, m-commerce has already evolved in these countries.Given the above, can we then say m-commerce will be a definite success in India? Well, a
straightforward answer will be difficult and the reason being-the industry is in its nascent stageand is evolving every passing day. So, it will be difficult for anyone to conclude on the success
or failure, as yet, of m-commerce in India. Well, if one were to draw a 'menu card' of what couldmake or lead to the success of m-commerce in India then each one of the stakeholders in the
ecosystem viz, content developers, telcos, regulators, banks & financial institutions, users(consumers) and even the media has a definitive role to play.
Growth of Mobile Commerce in India
Mobile Commerce services are evolving rapidly in India due to the coming together of mobile
service providers, banks and payment service providers to offer more products and secure
transactions through mobile networks.
While eCommerce is limited to PC users only, Mobile Commerce is open to almost everyone
with a cellphone and mobile connection. Mobile Commerce is expected to grow because the
mobile usage and ownership penetration is more than 4 to 5 times than a PC and growing at a
very fast rate.
With mobile commerce offerings expanding, customers in India have the hand-held convenience
of using their mobile phones for making payments for taxi fares and recharging prepaid phone
cards.
Emerging Services of Mobile Commerce in India
8/7/2019 Gunjan e business
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/gunjan-e-business 13/14
1. Increased mobile penetration and use of GPRS on handsets has resulted in the digital
downloads market to cross Rs.2.55 Billion by end of March 2008.
2. Monetary transfers or transactions through mobile phones are found to be much cheaper than
traditional bank transfers as the transaction costs are much lower in the former.
3. Innovative solutions for daily use such as payment of auto or taxi fares
4. Inter-bank transfers services are also on the anvil. ICICI Bank Ltd, India¶s largest private bank, has already started offering all its services through mobile phones (called mobile
banking) since January 2008. Standard Chartered bank has launched a service that enables
money transfer from any ATM to any mobile phone across the country. The recipient
receives a pin number on his or her mobile phone and the sender has to convey the order
number to the recipient. Using these two the recipient can withdraw money from the bank¶s
ATM¶s.
5. Feasibility studies are being conducted to offer mobile commerce to microfinance firms to
enable them collect payments from remote areas.
Challenges faced by Mobile Commerce in India
1. Security of transactions through Mobile Commerce: The biggest challenge to Mobile
Commerce is the security of payment through mobiles. Mobile Commerce Services like the
mobile wallet which helps make payments at retail outlets through text messages have been
hindered by the guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of India due to security concerns.
Mobile Payment Service Providers like ObopayInc and mChek India Payment Systems Pvt. Ltd
are planning on services that would work within the RBI prescribed guidelines like bank
account-linked services and mobile debit cards.
2. The other challenges faced by Mobile Commerce are ± the speed of GPRS and user interfaces.
m-payment
M-payment (mobile payment) is a point-of-sale payment made through a mobile device, such asa cellular telephone, a smartphone, or a personal digital assistant (PDA). Using m-payment, a
person with a wireless device could pay for items in a store or settle a restaurant bill withoutinteracting with any staff member. So, for example, if a restaurant patron wanted to pay quickly
and leave the restaurant on time to get to an appointment, the bill could be paid directly from thetable - without waiting for a server to bring the check. The patron would simply connect to the
cash register with a wireless device, punch in the table number and bank personal identificationnumber (PIN), and authorize payment. According to Orange Mobile Payment (a Danish
company), the entire transaction should take no more than 10 seconds.The earliest m-payment trials were based
on the wide area network (WAN) used for cellular phones. That meant, however, that users had
to pay cell phone charges to make a payment, and also had to punch in long sequences of digitseach time. Other technologies tested enable less cumbersome procedures. Palm and Verifone will
