INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION

1.1 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE-The objective of this research is that to define the term digital
marketing and consumer purchase behavior, to carry out a literature review on the subject of
consumer purchase behavior and impact of social media, to conduct a primary research with
the help of questionnaires on the impact of social media advertising and consumer purchase
behavior, and to review the findings.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE

 To know how much the customer know about digital marketing before any purchase
 To determine kind of media, would terminate the customer
 To identify the factors influencing changing buying behavior of youth
 To understand post purchase behavior of consumer

1
Digital marketing is defined as buying and selling of goods, services and information via
computer networks or internet or through any communication media. Digital marketing can be
defined to interact with the consumer at any time and in any place, with the purpose of
informing, educating, entertaining or making the consumer aware of the product or services. In
digital marketing, understanding consumer behavior is key for marketing success as consumers
have embraced utilizing the internet and online socializing over a period of time. Digital
marketing has been recently referred as one of the best way to get through the mess and interact
directly with the customers. Hence, with the trend towards direct, face to face marketing,
additional attention is being paid to the use of the digital channels as a means of effectively
advertising to consumers. Consumer behavior is influenced by having the knowledge and being
brand oriented and conscious. With the rise of social media, marketing departments now have
various options available to them for branding their products, such as advertisings, publishing of
brand content online, indulging in social networks and developing engagement opportunities for
consumers to participate with the brand. Brand awareness is coupled with good brand perception
and loyalty result with a stronger brand image in consumer’s mind, which will influence the
consumers positively and becomes part of their purchase behavior on the regular basis.
Consumer purchase behavior is how individuals, organizations, and groups select, buy and make
use of product, service, experience or ideas to satisfy their utility and wants. While considering
digital channels, the mostly used channel is mobile marketing. Indian mobile market is one of the
fastest growing markets due to the increase in the number of consumers, and is forecasted to
attain millions of users in upcoming ten years. The development and widespread use of internet
technologies have transformed the way society communicates both in their daily and professional
life. When we talk about digital marketing, what comes to mind are different online shopping
sites like Amazon, Jabong, Flipkart and different online groceries purchasing sites like Grofers,
Big Basket etc. and different social networking sites like Facebook, Instagram etc.

2
There are various digital marketing channels which are used to reach consumers. It includes
email marketing, online marketing, affiliate marketing, search engine marketing, pay per click
advertising and social media channels.

Digital Marketing Channels Definitions

Email marketing Digital marketing that delivers messages to an audience
through electronic mail
Online marketing Advertisements that are displayed on the internet
Affiliate marketing An online affiliate markets products of an organization and
gets rewarded for referrals
Search Engine marketing Marketing that is related to searches on the internet
Pay Per click advertising An online advertising system whereby the advertiser pays for
clicks on their advert
Social media marketing The creation, publication and sharing of content by individuals
such as blogs, images and videos on the internet

1.2 Buying Behavior of Youth

Buying behaviour marketing is basically all about establishment of relationships between

products offered in the market and targeted buying behaviour group. An individual’s buying
behaviour plays a vital and prime role in the consumer behaviour in general and among the youth
in particular. It helps to enhance the market Value of the offered product with the help of
segmenting the market on the basis of buying behaviour dimensions, positioning the product in a
way that appeals to the activities, interests and opinions of the targeted market.It also undertakes
specific promotional campaigns. Internet is there in India from last 20 years around and India is
among the top 3 countries where a large number of populations are internet users. In India,there
are 145 million consumers of internet. The digital marketing is having just 3-4% of organized
retailing. This reveals that some elements are the hindrance in the prosperity of online marketing
in India. The risk perceived by the youth of India is one of them. As the population of India is
large , there is a huge prosperity of online shopping. The government is investing a lot in internet
infrastructure. Online buying are more promoted as compared to organized retailing because

3
organized retailing can’t reach to rural part of India whereas online retailers are finding their
buyers in cities including villages of across India.

1.3 DIGITAL MARKETING SCENARIO IN INDIA

India is the world's third biggest web populace. Individuals in India are mindful of web as well
as are utilizing it for different purposes. There's a blasting web showcasing industry in India.
Web-based social networking is the driving the selection of computerized showcasing. The retail
segment in India is blasting both on the web and disconnected. Internet based life is driving the
advancement of computerized showcasing. Progressively well off populaces of youthful web
clients are investing more energy and cash on the web and in doing as such are affecting
shopping patterns. Among the mainstream items online are dress frill, books, purchaser gadgets,
voyaging, money related administrations, attire and excellence care. Web based shopping

4
movement is packed in major urban states with Mumbai being the primary Center pursued by
Delhi and Kolkata and now the majority of the states in India.

power of
buyers

 Full service agencies have high demand in Market
 Lack of getting efficient work force is a threat in digital marketing
 Getting clients in the initial stage is a bit difficult, because clients will usually
look the past experience of agency
2. Bargaining power of suppliers
 Lot of suppliers is there, but some suppliers who have high reach will charge
high price for placing ads in their portals.
 Bargaining power of suppliers, who provide data and information are very high
 Seasonal campaigns put pressure on supply side to charge high
 Real time bidding will lead to increase the demand of some portals
3. Bargaining power of buyers

5

 Clients like long term relationships with agencies, so they also try to adjust with
agencies
 Clients can ask agencies to change pattern of campaigns at any time
 Clients will choose agencies which have good experience in industry
4. Threats of substitutes

1.5 ADVANTAGES OF DIGITAL MARKETING

Reach- The geographical reach of online medium is greater than that of traditional
media. It is cost effective and ads can also be targeted to the desired audience.
2 Lower cost- A properly planned and effectively targeted digital marketing campaign can
reach the right customers at a much lower cost.
3 Measurement- Measuring your online marketing with web analytics and other online metric
tools makes it easier to establish how effective your campaign has been. Web analytics can
be set up to show you exactly how much money you make from each digital tactic.
4 Easy to share-Most digital marketing channels feature sharing capabilities which allow
campaigns and articles to be shared with multiple followers. This helps to create a multiplier
effect and has the capacity to tremendously improve sales results.
5 Openness- - By getting involved with digital marketing and managing it carefully, you can
build customer loyalty and create a reputation for being easy to engage with.

6
1.6 DIGITAL STRATEGY
It is the process of specifying an organization’s vision, goals and opportunities in order to
maximize business benefits through digital media. Strategy will be different for each brand.
Strategy can be short term or long term. Types of digital marketing strategy will be pull and
push marketing strategy.
In push digital marketing, the marketer sends a message without the recipient actively
seeking the content, such as display advertising on websites and news blogs. Email, text
messaging and web feeds with customized contents can also be classified as push digital
marketing. Push marketing allows targeting demographics and using marketing dollars to
promote a product to the people who are interested in what marketers have to sell. Behavior
targeting is good example for push digital marketing.
In pull digital marketing includes blogging, email marketing, social media, info graphics
and other forms of visual messaging and search engine optimization. A pull marketing
campaign also includes public relations or other ways of reaching out to potential or already
realized customers who you want to keep engaged. Pull marketing also requires a greater
investment in time, but it gives you more ability to entertain your customers and educate
them about your company.

There are different types of ads which are used for marketing a product:
 BannerAds: Embedding an ad into a web page- known as click through due to
interactive actions where the consumers clicks and is taken to the banner ad’s company
websites.
 Pop-up: Ads that displays in a browser window either in the front or behind the current
browser window.
 Above the fold: It refers to banners ads which are displayed at the top of web page.
 Rich media: Online ads that contain motion, sounds or video are termed as rich media
ads.

FINDINGS
&
CONCLUSION

25
5.1 FINDINGS
 This study reveals that most of the people have an idea about digital marketing or know
about digital marketing and most of the people prefer digital channels to buy their
product.
 Customers are highly information seeker and they collect information before buying their
products through digital channels and also refer customer’s experience.
 Advertisements through online media have high impact on consumers and they have a
high tendency to go for online purchase.
 Most of the people find advertisements influential but there are few who does not find it
influential.
 Advertisements through online media change the buying behavior of consumers and it
helps the consumers to purchase a product online.
 Most of the people read news through online and sometimes they read news through
online portals. It is because of the convenience of time and now a day; youths are very
busy in their work so they read news through online while travelling and through online
news portal, they can get news update very early, and they don’t need to wait for daily
newspapers.
 Most of the people are annoyed with the pop-up ads and they also thinks that these ads
consumes their time and people also disagrees that these ads are content worthy.
 There are many online vendors who provide various services to online vendors and most
of the consumers are happy with the services provided by them.
 There are various site who provide online purchase of various products like Amazon,
Flipkart, Jabong, Myntra etc. and most of the people prefer Amazon to purchase their
product followed by Flipkart, Myntra and Jabong because Amazon provides prime
delivery of a product and they also provide product with less price and people are also
satisfied with the services provided by the site they choose.
 The customers are satisfied with products they bought through the digital channels this is
considered as a positive sign for the growth digital channels in customer purchase
decision.
 There are different payment methods consumer uses while purchasing a product online
and most of the people use cash on delivery followed by cards and net banking. Most of

26
 the youths do not have cards or having net banking so they prefer cash on delivery. Or we
can say that most of the people do not want to share their personal details about their card
and information about their bank so they use cash on delivery method. There are various
e-security issues and there are many hackers outside who can hack personal details so
most of the consumers prefer cash on delivery.
 As we discussed earlier, consumers are information seeker and want to know everything
before purchase a product so according to the research, people who already purchase a
product share good experience to others after purchasing the product.
 After purchasing a product, providing feedback is very effective to improve the
performance. Most of the people provide feedback sometimes but there are few people
too who do not provide feedback.
 As online marketing increasing day by day, most of the people also thinks that
conventional marketing is more suitable because in online marketing, we cannot get an
idea about the quality of the product and if we do not like the product we have to wait for
the exchange and it takes 4-5 days. But in conventional marketing, consumers can see the
quality and they do not have to wait for the exchange, they can easily buy the product at
the same time.
 As there is a campaign about Digital India Project, most of the people neither agree nor
disagree that people of India support this project. India is a developing country and most
of the people of India do not have any access of digital media.
 But at last, most of the people think that digital marketing will expand in future and it
helps in to grow the Economy.

27
5.2 CONCLUSION
From this, we can conclude that future of marketing is in the hands of digital. Digital marketing
not only concerned with placing ads on web portals, but it is also concerned with providing
proper services and proper way to reach their channels. Consumers should have awareness about
the product and their buying behavior, their purchasing power influence the buying behavior of
the family too.

More than that consumers are information seekers and digital marketing helps the consumers to
get more information about the product and helps them to connect with brand. Every marketer
must know about their customers and their buying behavior. It will help them to get success in a
competitive economy.

Effective reach of advertisements will increase the sales of goods through digital channels. The
customers are satisfied with products they bought through the digital channels this is considered
as a positive sign for the growth digital channels in customer purchase decision. The present
study shows that there are few people who do not have any influence of digital marketing and it
does not change their buying behavior but in near future it will change as digital marketing will
expand more in future.
Digital marketing is also cost effective because they provide various offers and discounts on a
product. This study made in particular region, so accurate results on the variables could not be
able to obtain.There exists a future scope to analyses the impact of digital marketing on customer
purchase decision for a wider geographic area to obtain more accurate results.
I believe that, this project should be useful for marketers to understand the digital marketing and
also to plan for future strategies.

LIMITATIONS
