 CHAPTER- I

1.1 STUDY OF INTRODUCTION

Consumer perception is a complex phenomenon. A well design persuasive

advertisement and a positive frame of mind of a consumer perception always
tempted the individual in influencing his / her buying behavior. Because of its
unique traits of flexibility, interactivity, and personalization, the internet has
developed immensely interms of both applications and users. It has proven to
be an extremely valuable instrument for communication ,education,
entertainment and electronic commerce.

Information technology’s revolutionary shift has a significant impact on

people’s dailylife. It has changed the way we conduct business by allowing
businesses to offer anendless selection of items and services to all
consumers worldwide at any time. TheInternet has become the most
important direct marketing medium for global market place, with enterprises
using it to sell their products and services.

The World Wide Web transformed the internet from a difficult-to-use tool for
academics and technologists to a simple tool for businesses and consumers to
discover information. Consumers now have more discretion over how they obtain
information about products and services thanks to the Internet. There are several
factors that influence consumers’ desire for online content. Consumers choose
when, where, what and how much commercial content they want to
watch.Consumers may now access and endless range of products and services
fromcompanies all over. world via the Internet, which has lowered the amount of
time and effort they spend shopping

1
Individual behaviors and responses to online information and advertisements are
influenced by the goal that consumers have in mind when searching for
information online. Because of the rapid progress of computer technology, many
businesses have used the internet in their advertising media mix to take
advantage of onlinecapabilities. Because marketers discovered that the internet
provides them with more flexibility and control overtheir advertising materials, it
has becomea popular advertising platforms.Because the internetcan be used to
effectively communicate marketing messages, both academic and practitioners
are interested in learning how to maximize the value of this communication
services.

A set of ideas that made sense a century ago shaped the modem perspective on
shopping.Some of these old-fashioned ideas are people shop for dollar value,
which shopping decisions make practical sense or that shopping is mostly about
acquiring needed goods and services.The new mode of thought in the shopping
environment is no longer sufficient to identify simple customer demand and try to
satisfythem.Modern shoppers buy things to reward themselves, to satisfy
psychological needs or to make themselves feel good. Modern shoppers buy
things because they are expensive.

They buy things to make a statement, to show off their personality or to boost
their self esteem, Purchased item have become an affirmation of the psyche.
Retailers need to change in order to suit the modern shopping behaviour. It is no
longer sufficed to see a shopper as a rational creature making decisions,It is no
longer enough to think that the shopper acts in a way that makes sense from an
economic of logical point of view.

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Advertisers are likely to alter their focus and spend millions more on internet
advertising in the future yeats than on Tv, print ads, and other traditional media.
Company web sites, corporate logos, email messages, pop-ups, banner ads,
skyscraper ads, buttons, interstitials , hyperlinks, dynamic media, and interactive
games are all examples of internet advertising in general.

With the rapid advancement of technology, the internet is increasingly becoming

a one- stop shop for consumers in order to meet the majority of their
needs.Whether its for communication, entertainment, shopping, or finding
information, the internet is a one- stop shop for all their needs. As a result many
consumers use internet are glued to their computers and utilise it on a regular
basis. The issue is that a large number of consumers are online everyday for
personal reasons, but do they notice the advertisements, banners, and other
forms of advertising.

Internet advertsing is a vital instrument for stimulating consumer mind by

informing or reminding them about things, but it must also encourage them to buy
those products.In marketing,this is crucial.Further companies may utilise social
media to advertise their products, create relationships with customers, and better
understand their needs.The study and research on social media and
entrepreneurship growth indicated that social media tools serve a variety of
functions for SMEs and that the tools can be implemented innto a variety of
operational responsibilities.There have been a number of studies on internet
advertising, but there have been fewer on online advertising and its
consequences on consumer behaviour. The goal was to fill a knowledge gap by
determining the impact of online advertising on consumer mind.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

2.1 INTRODUCTION

Fareena et al.(2002) investigated the factors that influence buyer trust in e-

commerce.According to the findings website attributes do have a considerable
impact on trustperceptions. They discovered that buyer characteristics such as
previous participationwith the company were important. The internet ,as well as a
single website ,have animpact on trust ratings .The pivotal trust is an intervening
variables between site,shopper attributes, and the study’s findings that trust is an
intervening variablesbetween site, shopper qualities , and the study’s findings that
trust is an the intention ofthe customer is to act in a certain way.The focus also
aids in the comprehension of the measures of faith.

According to SaikatGuha et al. (2012),web advertising supports a variety of

internet administrations such as search, email ,and social media. There are
numerous concerns about the security risks associated with client focused on
.However, nearly no freeconsiders how advertising systems work,notably in the
United states, Advertising –related systems it proposed new, more powerful
metrics. Enormous amountsofagitation ,which is inevitable in the appropriation of
advertisements,recognizes estimation moderating methods , as well as hazards
and ancient rarities.

.
6
Banner advertising were studied by Newman et al.(2004).Their purpose was to
focus on the impact of banner advertising and website consistency on customer
perception of a brand’s website. They reasoned that standard advertisements
should be consistent.Certain buyer characteristics as well as the website brand,
should be evaluated .Those who created it have contributed to the successful
management of brands and the promotion of them on the internet.

According to Korgaonar et al. (2001), person involved in web promotion saw it as

offering valuable product knowledge, boosting their social role and image,
upgrading their pleasure, and not being deceptive They also discovered that
participants whowere interested in web advertising had a good opinion regarding it
and a lower income level Those who are actively involved are more likely to notice
web advertising.

The internet is often offered to as the network of a communication medium made

possible by computers and networks. People exchange all kinds of information in
inumerable social contexts on the Internet.The internet is a communication system
that ulitize a computerand a modem to gather information from all over the world. It
is composed of tens of millions of computers all connected allowing a person to
get information that previously was in accessible or took a long time to access.
The internet is a fluid and dynamic environment, that it has no definite
boundaries.Its limitation are imposed only by available software and hardware
technology.

7
According to Novak and Hoffman, the Internet uses a model of distributed
computing that facilitates interactive multimedia many-to-many communications.
The internet supports discussion groups, multi- players and communications
systems chat, file transfer, electronic mail and global information access and
retrieval systems.

Firms communicate with their customers through media. Traditionally, these media
follows a passive one-to-many communication model, through marketing efforts
that allow limited forms of feedback from the consumers. TheInternet revolution
has dramatically altered advertising and communication media. According to
Wang the Internet as a marketing media has the potentials to radically change the
way firms do business with their consumers.

Mendez and Leiva(2015) decided the adequacy of web pulicizing on various

locals under the web reasoning in the cordiality and tourism industry. Study is
directed of the sort of components contained ina standard utilizes as a part of

arranging potential sightseers. With a specific end goal to accomplish this goal, a
blended trial configuration was delivered, taking after an eye following technique
and a self regulated poll. Some outstandimg results uncovered that visitors take
longer periods and higher earlier fixations to see the content than the picture. It
was found that members fixate first on the static standard.

Punnet Manchanda et al; inspected this article concentrates on whether standard

with a survival model that uses an adaptable, piecewise expontential hazard
function. The outcome demonstrated that the quantity of exposure, number of web
destinations, and number of pages all positively affect rehash buy probabilities,
through the quantity of one of a kind imaginative has a negative impact.

James Mathew et al; opined that web advertising is an innovative type of

promoting that numerous organizations everywhere throughout the world are
wandering into, with the end goal of informing shoppers of their items and
administrations. Studies have demonstrated that web have impact on customers
