provided more than one touch point to the customer in the market. As Indeed used to
provide the services with the help of website as well as App to the customer. This sort
of touch point are provided by other company as well, the thing which generally
makes indeed unique from other is that they also used to provide the touches to the

proves really handy
for the organization as

exhibition in the External space other than organization. This exhibition generally
used to invite the different individual to pass on the CV and job role they are looking
to acquire. This generally used to help the company in building good customer base of

able to touch the wide number of the customer in the market. This is one of the
biggest reason which generally used to contribute very positively in building good
goodwill of the company in front of the other individual in the market. Indeed also
used to organize the different exhibition in the different campus as well, reason
behind the same is that indeed generally used to provide the good sort of offers to the

from the initial stage itself Via digital platforms:Indeed also used to provide variety of the digital platform

TASK 2
Use of two effective marketing model
AIDA model:
The model is used in marketing which describes the steps of a customers who used
during purchasing of a product. The model is used by top company in order to examine the
buying behaviour of customers. There are four stages involved within this which as mention
below:

 Attract attention: It means the marketing strategy of the company should be eye
catcher that will assist to grab attention of many customers towards it. For that Indeed
should design the content by using effective words and uses attractive pictures that
encourage people to visit the page once (Al-Thagafi, Mannion and Siddiqui, 2020).
For example, many videos in YouTubes are designed in such a manner that helps to
attract the customers and this in turn takes the users directly to a landing page and this
in turn increase the customer’s views. Hence, there is a need to design a content in
such an attractive manner which in turn encourage people to visit.
 Maintain interest:This is consider one of the most challenging stage of this model
because in this company has to maintain the interest or keep them engage towards a
page. That is why, Indeed should make sure that the advertisement present complete
detail along with photos, description or video clips etc. For example, top MNC
requires an accountant for their company and at that time, firm has to make sure that
essential requirement should be offered which help to maintain the interest of
candidate towards the ads (Kulkarni, Attal and Vasundekar, 2020). Also, with the help
of attractive post in social media will assist to examine the details such that it
determine the number of people click on ad and then company email them for
maintaining personal contacts.
 Create Desire:In this stage, company should maintain the interest among their
visitors and tries to find out the things that will assist to meet their needs. For that,
company should ensure that more necessary information should be provided to their
users in order to generate the best outcome. This in turn creates a desire among people
to apply for the vacant post. Thus it is clearly analysed that having an attractive post
in the advertisement will help to attract range of customers and this address the
emotion of users too.
 Take action:In this stage, company have to take action in order to provide best to
their customers. Also, in this stage, customer either purchase the product or leave that
(Damanik, Tarigan and Oh, 2020). For example, Indeed uses this model in which
once the post is posted in the blog and then company determine the number of click
and then start taking follow ups. Such that it gives call to that particular person in
order to determine whether they are interested for any post or not. Hence, this in turn
clearly stated that company should make effective planning in order to make decision.

In addition to this, it is analysed that it provides a formula to companies in order to
examine the purchasing pattern and promote them to purchase or visit the pages in order to
get best outcomes. In the same way, quoted firm is also perform in order to attract range of
customers along with its marketing styles.
Push and Pull Marketing strategy:
This type of strategy is used by many company in order to build the customer demand
for a product and service. Such that with the help of push marketing, company ties to promote
the product but consumer is not actively seeking the product. Whereas, pull marketing is link
with consumers and companies tries to response to the demand directly. In the same way,
Indeed is also used. Such that through push marketing, company sell their product but
customers are not actively seeking their product (Al Matroushi and et.al.,2020). These
promotions are used in TV Advertisement, billboards etc. Thus it is used to create brand
awareness and this in turn helps to sell the product in market. Such that Indeed used this
strategy and post a job advertisement in which bulk of vacancies are posted which promote
individual to click on the pages in order to generate the best outcome. For that company uses
social media marketing styles in which jobs are posted on Facebook, Twitter in order to grab
attention of many customers towards it.
On the other side, under pull marketing strategy consumer will actively seek out a
brand for a product because they are already aware of its reputation. Hence, in this having a
brand image at international market is necessary and that is why, it makes customer satisfied.
Therefore, Indeed use this strategy in the digital marketing perspective such that consumer
will be influenced by effective search engine optimization in which pay per click blogs are
used. Also, in this company uses SEO in order to make an attempt to promote their website
that helps to attract the customers (Matthews and et.al.,2020). This in turn leads a company to
attract range of customers. Currently quoted firm us actually uses social media marketing
which involves promoting the brand to potential customers through different platform and in
the same way, this pull marketing strategy is also used by the business in order to attract the
range of customers.
To evaluate the effectiveness of this marketing model, it is analysed that Indeed set a
goal to attract 30 new candidate for the job posted in the month of November, 2020 within
next 4 weeks. This can be attain by using the pull and push marketing strategy which in turn
improve the results. Thus, in the terms of marketing it is analysed that through intensive

advertising, the aim of the firm is to establish the brand image at market will be meet and
attracted range of customer towards it. In the similar way, Indeed and many other recruitment
companies are also uses this style in order to grab attention of many customers towards it. As
these strategy are inverse of each other but they are used for attracting range of customers.
For example, in push marketing, many companies paid Indeed to post the job
advertisement and if the candidate is selected then company get amount for their 100%
efforts. This clearly stated that with the help of effective marketing strategy company should
develop the best brand image which in turn attract the customers and also meet the define aim
as well (Baptista,Saldanha and Vong, 2020). While on the other side, with a fluctuation in
market need, company has to make effective planning in order to cope up with the problem
and this in turn improve the results. So it is analysed that out of push and pull, Indeed uses
pull marketing strategy in which it keep posting upon social media to attract the customers.
As this is one of the most attractive tool which in turn improve the results and generate best
outcomes as well. Hence, it is examine that through this marketing tool, company is tries to
attract the customers so that they will increase the financial performance and generate best
results as compared to others.
CONCLUSION
By summing up above report it has been concluded that Indeed is one of the fastest
growing company in recruitment industry. Such that it uses range of different tactics in order
to attract customers such that newspaper advertisement, social media platform etc in order to
encourage customers to visit the page. Further study concluded two models which helps to
evaluate the effectiveness of Indeed i.e. AIDA and Push and pull marketing model.
