1.0 INTRODUCTION
A website promotes your brand to potential clients and aids in brand awareness creation. By
introducing yourself and your message to the audience, you help to build your image.
Customers can get trustworthy information on a website, which helps to differentiate your
company from rivals.
Social media is crucial to marketing because customers frequently utilize these platforms to
research brands and browse their offerings. Any marketing strategy may guarantee that all
communications are distributed to all locations where the target audiences are present by
utilizing social media methods.
Puff.Co was established in the year 2022. The company was established for the purpose of
giving customers a new choice of premium dessert which is gourmet marshmallow or we call
it”gourmellow”. Due to their craving, excitement, and desire for desserts, the number of
customers who love sweets is growing every day. In actuality, there are just as many dessert
lovers as there are overall. As a result, there is a tremendous market need for sweets that are
visually appealing, tasty, and unique.

Social Media
5.0 Justification on the other platforms used by the company to support the designed
main platform (social media platforms)
Puff.Co offers users access to additional social media networks such as Facebook,
Instagram, and Tiktok. The platform's goal is to help businesses engage with their existing
and future customers, build their brand, and increase sales. Many people use Instagram these
days to discover new products and services. In fact, 80% of Instagram users follow at least
one business, according to data. (Linked In, 2023). This illustrates how using Instagram for
business can help companies attract customers from a range of places and
backgrounds.Creating a Puff.Co account and posting interesting content about gourmellows
will help the brand expand its audience and cultivate connections with both current and
prospective customers. Because it is accessible on this platform, Puff.co also chose to employ
Instagram's shopping feature for media support. As a result, Puff.co may promote its items
widely. We can use this technology to tag products in your posts and give clients a direct link
to your website so they can make a purchase. All things considered, Instagram is a great
business platform with lots of opportunities to grow your following, generate leads, and close
deals. Businesses using Puff.Co can improve their chances of success by utilising the
platform appropriately. Puff.Co uses Instagram to foster relationships with customers by
hosting contests and promotions. By hosting this activity, Puff.Co may express its gratitude to
its followers and raise brand recognition.
Price
Puff.co offered customers fair prices that were reasonable with the size and amount of
the goods. It is reasonably priced for customers of all ages. We choose to use containers that
cost RM10. Given its advantages, we think it is both affordable and worthwhile for
individuals to buy it. In addition, we offered premium ingredients to our customers, such as
biscoff and pretzels, both of which are excellent. Because of this, our products are reasonably
priced and readily available enabling customers to buy them and take advantage of the perks.
Place
Another important factor that will affect the marketing plan is the company's place.
The significance of picking a place for your business cannot be understated. A number of
factors can be greatly impacted, including staff happiness, financial considerations, marketing
strategies, brand image, visibility, along with accessibility. The marketer needs to pick a
strategic location for their business. As part of our business, our company decided to market
our products through supermarkets, hypermarkets, and mini markets. Our facility is located in
Terengganu, and we currently produce our products in Terengganu, Kedah, Pahang, and
Selangor. Our primary manufacturing facility is located in Shah Alam, Selangor. We chose to
establish a business in Shah Alam due to the abundance of raw material suppliers in the area.
Promotion
The company we run promotes on social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, and
TikTok. We promote our gourmet marshmallow on social media, and customers may
purchase it from our team using email or deliberately WhatsApp, or they can purchase it at
mini markets, supermarkets, and hypermarkets in Terengganu, Kedah, Pahang, and Selangor.
We also expand our business by employing salesmen, agents, and content producers to attract
customers to our offerings. Content creators use social media platforms like Instagram,
WhatsApp, and TikTok because they are the most effective, simple, and quick ways to
communicate with their audience.
Physical Evidence
We have made the decision to use identical branding throughout all of our
communications as tangible evidence of our company. This has to do with convincing our
dessert-loving customers. For instance, we would create an attractive and beneficial website.
A company's website that is both visually beautiful and noteworthy. Moreover, we have
pretty product packaging as our physical evidence.
Process
Our company handles both internal and external process difficulties to provide the
finest possible customer value and positive experience. In order to assist customers in
purchasing our gourmet marshmallow product, we have implemented employees and e-chat
using a digital platform.
People
We have a team of people working on marketing activities as the final component of
the marketing mix, people. In addition, we will have individual interactions with customers,
which will foster excellent teamwork within our company. Everyone will use their unique
talents to further the development of the business.

6.0 Conclusion
To sum up, in this day of ever-improving technology, digital platforms play a critical
role in the ecommerce industry's trend. A business should take the application of digital
platforms seriously if it is to stay competitive and innovative. A company must enhance its
performance in light of the current changes by creating a digital platform that is user-friendly,
visually appealing, and easily accessible in order to positively impact customers' perceptions
of the company. In addition, in order to help customers collect information, the company's
digital platform needs to assist in managing the customer's buying process with thorough
product details. Subsequently, the company must exercise creativity and intelligence in
developing ongoing digital promotions to draw customers in regardless of their location. Last
but not least, put differently, digital marketing holds significant importance in the activities of
a company. This is so that the company may establish a more reputable brand and reach a
larger audience through digital customer connections (Rukhaiyar, 2022). Digital marketing
allows companies to reach customers anywhere in the world (Rukhaiyar, 2022). All a
company has to do is establish a presence in areas where their target audience visits, like a
certain social media network (Rukhaiyar, 2022).
