“Understand the consumer buying behaviour of Indian in digital era”.
Main findings of the research are given here. Indian customers are highly information seekers. They
collect more information about a product before buying it. Internet penetration in India is key player
for this phenomenon. Most of Indians are getting stimulus through advertisements, but they are not
reaching to end phase of customers purchase journey, mainly in high involvement purchases. Brands
are getting more touch point to reach their target group in this digital era. More details about findings
are given this report.
The successful completion of this project indicates that the future of marketing is in the hands of
digital. I conclude my research by quoting again that “Brands can’t sustain without digital
presence”
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Advertising in business is a form of marketing communication used to encourage, persuade, or
manipulate an audience to take or continue to take some action. Most commonly, the desired result is
to drive consumer behaviour with respect to a commercial offering. Advertising is defined by Richard
F. Taflinger as “Advertising is the non-personal communication of information usually paid for
and usually persuasive in nature about products, services or ideas by identified sponsors
through the various media."
Advertising is normally done by a third party known as advertising agency. An advertising agency is
a service based business dedicated to creating, planning, and handling advertising for its clients. An
ad agency is independent from the client and provides an outside point of view to the effort of selling
the client's products or services. An agency can also handle overall marketing and branding strategies
and sales promotions for its clients. Types of ad agencies are
Full service agencies
Creative agencies
Specialized agencies
In-house agencies
Digital agencies or new media agencies
This report is completely discussing about digital or new media agencies. There was a time when
Television was the most popular medium for Marketer to promote, spread awareness and generate
leads for their products but now the trend has changed and Digital media has taken its place. Main
reason for this change was
Traditional methods are expensive. Compared to digital marketing channels, you could end
up spending thousands of dollars more.
Traditional marketing channels fail to provide instant feedback and reports about who saw or
heard an ad, and took action. This data is collected long after the initial ad impression is
made (and still then, the statistics are far from exact numbers).
Digital marketing, on the other hand, refers to marketing methods that allow organizations to see how
a campaign is performing in real-time, such as what is being viewed, how often, how long, as well as
other statistics such as sales conversions.
Digital Media Marketing or Digital Marketing
The term 'digital marketing' was first used in the 1990s. In the 2000s and the 2010s, digital marketing
became more sophisticated as an effective way to create a relationship with the consumer that has
depth and relevance.
Digital marketing was defined in Wikipedia as “marketing that makes use of electronic devices
(computers) such as personal computers, smart phones, cell phones, tablets and game consoles to
engage with customers. Digital marketing applies technologies or platforms such as websites, e- mail,
apps (classic and mobile) and social networks”.
Peoples often referred digital marketing as 'online marketing' or 'internet marketing' but it’s wrong.
Digital marketing revolves around the Internet, which explains why people tend to believe that digital
marketing and Internet marketing are synonymous. Nonetheless, they are different. Internet marketing
falls under the category of digital marketing. Internet marketing encompasses digital marketing
services such as search engine optimization, display advertising, and email marketing.

Brio communication has numerous strengths that help it to thrive in the market place. These
strengths not only help it to protect the market share in existing markets but also help in

1. Brio communication provides global reach in all over world Traditional marketing is
restricted by geography and creating an international marketing campaign can be hard,
expensive, as well as labor-intensive. However, digital marketing happens on the Internet,
which means that the reach you can achieve with it is immense. Even a very small local
business owner has the ability to reach an international audience with an online store.
2. Brio communication also improves local visibility, which is especially important if your business relies
on nearby customers. LOCAL SEO and locally targeted ads can be beneficial for companies trying to
bring more customers to their doors.
3. Whether you want to promote your business locally or internationally, digital marketing
provides you with cost-effective solutions. It allows even the smallest companies to compete
with larger companies using highly targeted strategies.
2. Brio communication is small scale industry due to they have lack of budget and digital marketing
is purely based on technology.
3. They have to more think about their own branding and company name.
It is much more convenient for businesses to conduct surveys online with a purpose to get
relevant information from targeted groups and analyzing the results based on their responses.
Potential customers can look for reviews and recommendations to make informed decisions
about buying a product or using the service. On the other hand, businesses can use the
exercise to take action on relevant feedback from customers in meeting their needs more
accurately.
Digital marketing is the use of technologies to help marketing activities in order to improve
customer knowledge by matching their needs (Chaffey, 2013).
Marketing has been around for a long time. Business owners felt the need to spread the word
about their products or services through newspapers and word of mouth. Digital marketing
on the other end is becoming popular because it utilizes mass media devices like television,
radio and the Internet. The most common digital marketing tool used today is Search Engine
Optimization (SEO). Its role is to maximize the way search engines like Google find your
website.
Digital marketing concept originated from the Internet and search engines ranking of
websites. The first search engine was started in 1991 with a network protocol called Gopher
for query and search. After the launch of Yahoo in 1994 companies started to maximize their
ranking on the website (Smyth 2007).
When the Internet bubble burst in 2001, market was dominated by Google and Yahoo for search
optimization. Internet search traffic grew in 2006; the rise of search engine optimization grew for
major companies like Google (Smyth 2007). In 2007, the usage of mobile devices increased the
Internet usage on the move drastically and people all over the world started connecting with each
other more conveniently through social media. In the developed world, companies have realized
the importance of digital marketing. In order for businesses to be successful they will have to
merge online with traditional methods for meeting the needs of customers more precisely
(Parsons, Zeisser, Waitman 1996).
Introduction of new technologies has creating new business opportunities for marketers to
manage their websites and achieve their business objectives (Kiani, 1998).
With the availability of so many choices for customers, it is very difficult for marketers to
create brands and increase traffic for their products and services. Online advertising is a
powerful marketing vehicle for building brands and increasing traffic for companies to
achieve success (Song, 2001). Expectations in terms of producing results and measuring
success for advertisement money spent, digital marketing is more cost-efficient for
measuring ROI on advertisement (Pepelnjak, 2008).
Today, monotonous advertising and marketing techniques have given way to digital
marketing. In addition, it is so powerful that it can help revive the economy and can create
tremendous opportunities for governments to function in a more efficient manner (Munshi,
2012). Firms in Singapore have tested the success of digital marketing tools as being
effective and useful for achieving results. (Teo, 2005). More importantly, growth in digital
marketing has been due to the rapid advances in technologies and changing market dynamics
(Mort, Sullivan, Drennan, Judy, 2002). In order for digital marketing to deliver result for
businesses, digital content such as accessibility, navigation and speed are defined as the key
characteristics for marketing (Kanttila, 2004). Other tried and tested tool for achieving
success through digital marketing is the use of word-of-mouth WOM on social media and for
making the site popular (Trusov, 2009). In addition, WOM is linked with creating new
members and increasing traffic on the website which in return increases the visibility in
terms of marketing.
Social media with an extra ordinary example Facebook has opened the door for businesses to
communicate with millions of people about products and services and has opened new
marketing opportunities in the market. This is possible only if the managers are fully aware
of
using the communication strategies to engage the customers and enhancing their
experience (Mangold, 2009). Marketing professional must truly understand
online social marketing campaigns and programs and understand how to do it
effectively with performance measurement indicators. As the market dynamics all
over the world are changing in relation to the young audience accessibility to social
media and usage. It is important that strategic integration approaches are adopted in
organization’s marketing communication plan (Rohm & Hanna, 2011).
Blogs as a tool for digital marketing have successfully created an impact for
increasing sales revenue, especially for products where customers can read reviews
and write comments about personal experiences. For businesses, online reviews have
worked really well as part of their overall strategic marketing strategy (Zhang,
2013). Online services tools are more influencing than traditional methods of
communication ( Helm, Möller, Mauroner, Conrad, 2013). As part of study, it is
proven that users experience increase in self-esteem and enjoyment when they adapt
to social media which itself is a motivating sign for businesses and marketing
professional (Arnott, 2013). Web experiences affect the mental process of
consumers and enhance their buying decision online (Cetină, Cristiana, Reduces,
2012). This study is very valuable for marketing professional as it highlights the
importance of digital marketing.
The Internet is the most powerful tool for businesses (Yannopoulos, 2011).
Marketing managers who fail to utilize the importance of the Internet in their
business marketing strategy will be at disadvantage because the Internet is changing
the brand, pricing, distribution and promotion strategy.
Pakistan has seen tremendous growth in media with 20 million people have access to
the Internet but still marketers insist on doing things the traditional way (Mohsin
2010). Management and structure in Pakistan are still based on ancient paradigm
where customers are moving ahead with their demands and expectations. This gap is
widening day by day with limited skills and mindset available in Pakistan to solve
the problem for the demanding customers. Companies in Pakistan including the
MNC’s are going the traditional way and keeping the digital aspect just to show off
in tune with the modern trends.
CHAPTER-4
Research
Methodology
The descriptive research design is used for analyzing and studying the process of Business
Development. It is very simple & more specific than explanatory study.
Data Sources:
Primary Data: -
It is a firsthand data which is collected by you only. The different way of collecting primary
data is personal interview, questionnaire, survey etc. As my project is descriptive study there
is no primary data collected as such.
Secondary Data:-
Secondary data is collected from already existing sources in various organization broachers &
records. Secondary data for the study were collected from the magazines, websites & other
previous studies.
To meet the objectives, the study used qualitative research. The descriptive study was done
through review of existing literature that helped in validation and extraction of the important
variables and factors. Data was collected from secondary sources. Secondary sources were
magazines, websites, books, office executives, and company data.
I have also used an online questionnaire to understand the consumer buying behaviour of
Indians in digital era
Chapter- 5
a) Gender:
Around 346 million Indians are engaged in online transactions including e-commerce,
and digital payments, according to a report published by the Internet and Mobile
Association of India (IAMAI). The data revealed that this number is greater than the
total US population engaged in digital transactions which is estimated at 331 million.
The IAMAI report titled 'Internet in India' stated that the global coronavirus pandemic
has witnessed a record increase of 51% from 230 million in 2019 in India, in online
transaction in the past two years. It said that the number of male internet users are more
than female users in both rural and urban areas.
b) Age:
Younger males and women aged 35-44 emerge as power users
India males aged between “15-24” are major users among Males and in females 35-44
are major users of internet. Age wise distributions are given below.
Trends in online behaviour are changed a lot, social networking is leading now. Early people
will use internet to access email and for searching information. But now people like to be
social, they are interested in sharing their life with others. 25% of the population are doing
social networking in India followed by 23% in services. Services include emailing and instant
messaging.
d) Mobile Internet Users
Internet penetration in India is driven largely by mobile phones, with some of the cheapest
and most basic hand-sets today offering access to the internet. According to IMAI, India has
110 million mobile internet users of which 25 million are in rural India. The growth of
internet penetration in rural India is driven largely by the mobile phone; 70% of rural India's
active internet population access the web via mobile phones. This may have to do with the
difficulty in accessing PCs. Forty-two percent of rural India's internet users prefer using the
internet in local languages. The high prevalence of content in English is a hurdle for much of
rural India.
Research report of InMobi showing the behaviour mobile user in internet, 21% of their total
consumption is for Entertainment and Social Media, which followed by Games, General
Information Search and Email.
e) Social Networking
Social Networks capture the largest percentage of consumers’ time in the region. comScore
data’s showing 86% of the Indian web user visit a social networking site. Facebook continues
to be the number one social network with a 28% increase in traffic and a reach of 86%.
Average time spend by a Indian user on facebook is 217 minutes.
f) Media Consumption of Indian’s
On an average Indian consumers are spending 6.10 hours in media per day. In traditional
media Indian audience spend only 195 min or 3.15 hours. If we see the breakup it will be
86min in television, 37 min in newspaper and 30 min in radio. Remaining 4.55 hours or 214
min in new media or digital media. Break up of new media will be like 102 min in mobile,
79min in online and 33 min in tablets.

FINDINGS
Indian customers are highly information seekers. They collect more information about
quality, price and refer customer’s experiences before purchasing a product.
Advertisements have high impact for creating stimulus in Indian customers. But this
stimulus will get in to action only through opinion leaders.
Indian consumers have high tendency to go for online purchase. They have high
affinity to go online for electronic products and apparels.
One of the current trends in Indian youth and young Indians are watching the T.V
programs via online portals. May be the main reason is convenience of time, they can
watch programs which they had skipped due to some reasons.
The same thing is happening for the newspaper also, people have more affinity
towards online news portals. Here's the reason may be they can get news updates very
early; they don’t need to wait for daily newspapers.
Chapter- 7
Conclusion
CONCLUSION
The successful completion of this project indicates that the future of marketing is in the hands
of digital. Digital marketing is not only concerned with placing ads in portals, it consists of
integrated services and integrated channels. Marketers want to use these components in an
effective way to reach target groups and to build a brand. In this digital era marketer is not
the custodian for a brand, people who are connected across the digital platforms are the
custodians.
Brands want to build their presence over digital platform, because customers have high
affinity towards digital media than other media’s. More than that customers are highly
information seekers and digital media is the only platform for two way communication
between brands and customers.
Digital media is the best platform to convert a product to a brand. Because it is more cost
effective and it provide lot of touch points to marketer. Brands can able to engage their target
group in an effective way through digital platforms. Digital media is not only for
engagement, brands can increase their customers or they can retain their existing customers.
Digital platforms help to increase the impact of brand recall in target groups.
I conclude my research by quoting again that “Brands can’t sustain without digital
presence”.
