As the rise of internet marketing continues in Asia and the
world, online B2C marketing continues its emergence while the consumer market continuously
adopt the smart mobile phone culture as the mode to communicate with online
seller. B2C marketing strategy users are
taking advantage of the smart phone technology.
Reaching the consumer through their internet smart phones is
far more easy compared in launching a PR campaign using expensive celebrities for
influencing the market. Sales in Middle
East and Africa are rising for new International Companies from the west and Europe
granting the idea of using the internet technology as a medium for market
communication. Asia and ASEAN community
in particular are in the stage of acquiring new tech gadgets and equipments as
the region is in the verge of renewing its business and political sectors to a
more internationally versatile in nature. Without a doubt, business companies
around Asia and ASEAN in particular are not browsing their “yellow pages”
anymore but rather browsing the B2C and B2B websites for sale and auction.
In relation to this internet marketing situation, business companies
both SME and multi-national companies are meeting in the same internet platform
in reaching the actual consumer market.
A common and simple example that we can discuss is the marketing versatility
of Amazon Company operating worldwide. Amazon
Company continually taking advantage not by their product but by their market
service method using the B2C internet marketing technique platform in reaching
the worldwide consumer market.
On the contrary, E-commerce is continually developing its
scope to accommodate the different nature of business. So far, internet platform is the easiest and
economical platform in disseminating company information. Therefore, companies of today are unanimously
in the campaign of consumer internet usage or what we commonly call the “internet
culture”. Through internet we can grasp
the world information in our finger tips.
Another issue that internet business operators must consider
is the “trust of internet banking” and other business transactions security. Famous financial organization such as London
Stock Exchange is transacting business online for a long time via a secured
internet platform. To these online
dependent businesses, they are already dependent towards the online services
they are using every-day, but for the new International business operators
using the internet as a means of financial communication transactions is a
little awkward to these new International companies knowing that the internet needs
a highly secured firewall to make sure that the company data will not be breach
by other malicious internet users.
As a final point, a continuous computer and internet
knowledge of the whole organization’s human capital must be given a great
concern for the benefit of the marketing communication and PR.
