1.3 Internet marketing tools and eTools
There are so many marketing mediums that can be used of digitally such that various search
engine which are useful to search the information and data about the desired topic. The
organization uses some specific keywords which can relate with their companies name,
management, structure and other things, those keywords are added on the search engine

top of that search and whenever people will search with the same keywords, they will see the
website of that particular organization on top.

Website is the place where the each profitable or non-profitable organization have their complete
information, their working place, their market evaluation report, the clients which are dealing

the website also and vice versa.
1.4 Examination of interactive order processing
So many approaches are there that can be used for the interactive order processing. The products

the input output process in the Smart Restoration Limited.
TASK 2
2.1 Mechanics of Search engine marketing
Search engine marketing is the one of the most important tool that is used by the firms to
do marketing of their products. It is very important to understand the significance of the search
engine marketing for the business firms. In the search engine there is a mechanism under which
keywords are identified by the engine like Google and Yahoo by considering the query of the
individual person that is type by it on the search box. The websites that highly covered the words
relevant to the words that are in the query are placed on top of the search page. By doing so firm

ensured that its website name will be appeared in the top of the web page.. These are some
search engine resources which can be considered:
1. Search engine watch- the basic knowledge and description about the SEO is provided
by this.
2. Web master forum- Different forum are there such a webmaster pro, web master
world etc. Any forum can have the problem but there is a big limitation that we can see the only
forum which has added recently.
3. Search engine people- The search engine have some concern that can provide the
wrong information to the people so some employee are there to take care of it.
2.2 Email marketing Newsletter
E-Mail marketing is another option to make newsletter and send it to the customer for marketing
that firms are commonly using these newsletter to do marketing of their product. Under e-mail
marketing firm to its target customers send a e-mail and communicate information about its
product(Bianchi and Mathews, 2016). Through this mode of communication any firm directly reach
to its target customers without facing any problem. For this services business firms usually give
an option of subscribing newsletter to the people that visit its website. If an individual prefer it
subscribe the news latter and receive e-mail on daily basis in respect to the product and offers
related to it. Some firms also use a system under which when one visit its website its mobile
number and mail ID is traced and same is used to establish communication with the target
customer. It can be said that with passage of time period e-mail marketing become very popular
among the business firm. This is the reason due to which firms that are operating their business
online often use e-mail marketing to do marketing of their product and services.
2.3 Online public relations
Interactive display can be done online by the business firms and under this they show the
way that they follow to present their public relation in better way. Better presentation of the
product on the website create positive image of the firm among the target customers and it
became easy to persuade people to buy a product. Tesco use interactive display method under
which on bus stop its products are displayed and people can place an order for purchasing a
specific product. Thus, by doing so Tesco is selling its products in innovative way in comparison
to rivals.

Audience targeting: The audience which is already planned. Company have to show them. The
message should be created according to the target audience(Salehi and et.all., 2012.).
1. Press conference: the press conference will help the customers to know about the new
offers and services.
2. E- newsletter: The customers should get the news latter on time, its the responsibility of
Smart Restoration limited. Email is the medium for sending the newsletter.
3. Relation with investor: There is a criteria to communicate with the new and old investors
of the company.
4. Corporate events and sponsorship: The Company can commit as a leader by giving the
sponsorship to the various events.
People are attracted so easily by online marketing and their relations with organization gets
more strong and consistent.
2.4 Use of digital media
Customers can know about the products of the company by the digital media. The world
seems so tiny just because of digital media. In a small duration the customers can have detail of
the products by Smart Restoration Limited. According to Smart Restoration Limited it’s a
platform where they can share photos of their different range of furniture. Company have its web
site that can be a guideline for the customers. Customers can give their feedback and ask any
question on their website and organization will have to answer them. The essential information
about the company and their variety of furniture and also their photos are also pasted on the
website. The website should be updated by the organization in a fix duration. It is very important
to upgrade information with the new information. The promotional events of the company can be
more attractive for the customers. The customers can have a chat with the Smart Restoration
Limited on the file sharing site which is also an example of digital media.
TASK 3
3.1 Online market research
The research of the market can be done online by accessing the internet. The factors that are
important for a research, are available on the web. The analysis of the market regarding each
sector of industry can be done without any physical survey of the market. Basically organization

have to evaluate the different values of product and services, also they wanted to know about the
other competitors and their strategies(Sin Tan, Chong and Lin, 2013). For attaining the effectual
position in the market the Smart limited should do the assessment of secondary data. The
secondary data such as report and survey on the market have the record of the customers and
client’s behaviour also the information about the various services and products. The census
report of the government can be a source for the secondary data. The plan of the development
and operations of organization can be better after utilizing the information. Research of the blogs
and on which the opinions of customers can be helpful to know about their perception, which can
be helpful to upgrade the services. Smart Restoration Limited have so many beneficial offers for
their customers.
3.2 Design of online survey
. For attaining the effectual position in the market the Smart limited should do the
assessment of secondary data. The secondary data such as report and survey on the market have
the record of the customers and client’s behaviour also the information about the various services
and products.
For the survey of their company between the customers Smart Restoration Limited have
to make a questionnaire:
1. Name:

3.3 Use of electronic customer relationship marketing
In the periodic time the traditional way of marketing is used to make relationship with
customers. Traditional marketing means the customer was pulled by the host with the help of
communication skills. But now the communication with the customers has done by the help of
electronic media. The internet and extra-net is the example of electronic digital media which can
be used by the Smart Restoration Limited to communicate with their customers and clients(Taylor
and Strutton, 2010). The website of this company has a chat box, on which the customers can give
their suggestion and they can ask for anything. Through this concept the customer and the host
can communicate with each other. Thin conversation may help the management to improve their
customer relationship. The E-CRM is the medium through which the customers can know the
information about this furniture company, their assets, their products and services.
TASK 4
4.1 Internet marketing plan
Cost, time, method, availability, simplicity, and so many other things, all these things
have to be mentioned in the internet marketing plan. The campaign of marketing which is
planned, the coordination of such plan is not that much hard. The changes in that plan can be
done at any time due to its flexibility.
1. Customer’s definition- The target customers should be decided by the company. Only
the outline policy can be made if their have attention on their target customers. The
requirement should be fulfil for both customers either it is male or female. The season
in which the customers buys more furniture. Which kind of wood they would like to
have.
2. Target- The plan have so many targets that are decided by the management of the
Smart Restoration Limited. The ability to understand the choice of customers, the
website should have the advertisement which have the most like from the customers.
3. Social media- Company is posting their furniture’s photo on the Facebook and other
sites.
Making the services fast and easy- The delivery of the furniture should be on time and with
complete protection of it(Gilmore and Erdem, 2011). The orders which are placed from the website
or the mobile application should get the fast service.

4.2 Poster presentation on pay per click advertising
Pay per click is another method of marketing and under this method individual have an
account on the specific website and same have to view some advertisements for a few minutes.
For doing so one is paid by the business firm. This is another approach that is used by the firms
apart from traditional channel of communication. In this one receive money for viewing an
advertisement and this acts as motivating factor for them. By following this approach firm attract
attention of people towards its brand name and promote positive word of mouth marketing
among the people. Thus, it can be said that pay per click have due importance for the business
firms. However, there are some limitations of the pay per click method (Fagerstrøm and Ghinea,
2010). This is because people does not give much attention to many advertisement. On passage of
certain time period they simply press a button and view next advisement. Hence, desired results
cannot be fully obtained by the firm from pay per click method. Secondly, advertisements are not
segregate nation wise. Means that someone is setting in India and viewing advertisement of the
firm which entirely operating only in USA. In such a situation viewing of advertisement by an
individual person proved useless for the business firm. Thus, it can be said that there are so many
limitations of the PPC
