from Amazon, an international online business that entered the Indian
market in June 2013.E-commerce in India
Myntra currently has more than 500 brands with over 60,000 products
that are delivered almost everywhere in India using its delivery

HISTORY
Established in 2007 by Mukesh Bansal along with Ashutosh Sak and
Rishi Ranjan, Myntra was in the business of on-demand
personalization of gift items. It mainly operated on the B2B (business
to business) model during its initial years. Between 2007 and 2010,
the online portal allowed customers to personalize 15 products such
as t-shirts, mugs, mouse pads, calendars, watches, teddy bears,
pendants, wine glasses and jigsaw puzzles. Customers could order for
these online and these would be home delivered in 3 days time.
Within the initial 3 years, Myntra became Indias largest
personalization platform with more than 50% of the market share. It
also offered the personalization of jerseys of various cricket and
football teams including the Indian cricket team, the IPL teams and
the Premier League football teams. In 2010, it expanded its catalogue
to include fashion and lifestyle products. Myntra tied up with various
popular brands to retail a wide range of latest merchandise from these
brands. Myntra offered products from 350 Indian and International
brands by 2011. Brands like Nike, Puma, Converse, Adidas,
Decathlon, Reebok, Lee Cooper, Numero Uno, Sketchers, Crocs, Fila,
Lotto, ID, Catwalk, Carlton London and Red Tape found the perfect
online retail platform. Myntra also had casual wear for men and
women from brands like Jealous 21, Forever New, Classic Polo,
Inkfruit, Lee, Nike, Inc., Probase, Puma, Adidas, Reebok, Ed Hardy,
Decathlon, Lotto, Mr. Men, Tantra and Guerilla. The website saw the
launch of Fastrack watches and of Being Human, the brand.















ONLINE MARKETING
Online marketing refers to a set of powerful tools and methodologies
used for promoting products and services through the Internet.
Online marketing includes a wider range of marketing elements than
traditional business marketing due to the extra channels and
marketing mechanisms available on the Internet.
Online marketing can deliver several benefits such as:
Growth in potential
Reduced expenses
Elegant communications
Better control
Improved customer service
Competitive advantage
Online marketing is also known as Internet marketing, Web
marketing, digital marketing and search engine marketing (SEM).
The broad online marketing spectrum varies according to business
requirements. Effective online marketing programs leverage
consumer data and customer relationship management systems.

Online marketing connects organizations with qualified potential
customers and takes business development to a much higher level
than traditional marketing/advertising.

Online marketing synergistically combines the Internet's creative and
technical tools, including design, development, sales and advertising,
while focusing on the following primary business models:
E-commerce
Lead-based websites
Affiliate marketing
Local search
Online marketing has several advantages, including:
Low costs: Large audiences are reachable at a fraction of
traditional advertising budgets, allowing businesses to create
appealing consumer ads.
Flexibility and convenience: Consumers may research and
purchase products and services at their leisure.
Analytics: Efficient statistical results are facilitated without
extra costs.
Multiple options: Advertising tools include pay-per-click
advertising, email marketing and local search integration (like
Google Maps).
Demographic targeting: Consumers can be demographically
targeted much more effectively in an online rather than an
offline process.
The main limitation of online marketing is where goods are being
sold, the lack of tangibility means that consumers are unable to try
out, or try on items they might wish to purchase. Generous return
policies are the main way to circumvent such buyer apprehension.
