Editor's Notes

  • #3 Relation to textThis slide relates to page 483 of the text. Summary OverviewThe Internet officially began with the connection of two computers in 1969, and now consists of over 1 billions users worldwide. What changed the Internet the most was development of the World Wide Web, which is the business component of the net. The first advertisements were introduced on the Web via HotWired in 1994, in the form of banner ads. Growth of the Web and Web-based advertising continued until 2000, when there was a “bust” and advertising expenditures dropped by 25 percent. As the number of users of the Net continued to rise, a new crop of advertisers came on board, including many Fortune 100 companies. By 2006, advertising expenditures had exceeded $16.2 billion, with spending projected to reach $42.0 billion by 2011.

Use of this slide This slide can be used as an example of a Web site that is used for image building.
  • #11 Relation to textThis slide relates to pp. 487-488. Summary OverviewBranding is a complicated process, especially on the Internet. New or less well-known brands may have to assume different strategies than those used by more established brand. The Internet, like other direct-response media, are best suited to a highly targeted audience. Branding, on the other hand, requires a broad, generic audience. Successful branding does not take place overnight. When marketers discover that the Internet will not allow them to establish their brands quickly, many return to a focus on ROI or the bottom line. Use of this slideUse this slide when discussing the time, effort, and money that is required to achieve branding online.
  • #12 Relation to text This slide relates to material on p. 488 of the text. Summary Overview This slide demonstrates another use of the Internet, which is the direct sale of goods and services. E-Commerce has become an important part of the worldwide web, both to consumers and to businesses. E-commerce may be a primary objective for a Web site-only business, but it may be a secondary objective of businesses that sell primarily through their brick-and-mortar stores. Use of this slide This slide can be used to introduce the concept of e-commerce. Most students will be familiar with the concept, but may need to be reminded that it is part of the IMC program, and e-commerce isn’t always the primary object of a Web site.
  • #13 Relation to text This slide relates to material on p. 488 of the text. Summary Overview E-commerce continues to grow at a very fast pace. Walmart.com, the online sales channel for Wal-Mart, recorded over 500 million visitors and $1.17 billion in sales in 2005, and expected a 40 percent increase in visitors in 2006. Circuit City allows customers to order online and pick up merchandise at the store. Others, including Amazon and eBay have Internet sites only. The strong growth of E-commerce is expected to continue, in both business-to-business and consumer markets. Use of this slide When used with the previous slide, this slide provides additional insight into the e-commerce aspects of the Internet. Many companies are maintaining their “brick and mortar” stores and operations but are now selling through the Internet as well.
  • #14 Relation to text This slide relates to material on p. 488 and Exhibit 15-7 of the text. Summary Overview Perhaps one of the most well known and successful e-commerce sites on the Internet is that of ebay. Essentially an online auction, eBay allows users to both sell and purchase products and services. While many online e-commerce sites are extensions of the company’s brick and mortar store, ebay is an example of an e-commerce only site. Use of this slide This slide can be used to provide an example of an e-commerce site that students are probably already familiar with. Nevertheless, it serves as an example of the potential for success in this medium.
  • #15 Relation to text This slide relates to material on pp. 488-498 of the text. Summary Overview As part of the IMC program, the Internet will be most effective when integrated with other media, including: Advertising Sales promotion Personal selling Public relations Direct marketing Research studies have shown that by integrating the Internet with other IMC components, overall communication is more effective. In addition, getting visitors to come to ones website may require effective use of other IMC program elements. Use of this slide This slide can be used to discuss how the various IMC tools should be combined with the Internet to create a more effective IMC program. The next slides discuss and provide examples of the integration with these components.
  • #16 Relation to text This slide relates to material on pp. 490-491 of the text. Summary Overview The slide shows various forms of advertising that can be done on the Internet. These include: Banners—the most common form of ads that appear on web pages, they appear as side panels, skyscrapers, or verticals Sponsorships—companies pay to sponsor a section of the site, or the sponsor provides dollars in return for name association and also provides content Pop-Ups/Pop-Unders—ads that appear underneath the Web page and become visible only when the user leaves the site Interstitials—ads that appear on the screen while you are waiting for the site’s content to download Push Technologies— technology which allows the website to “push” information to the potential customer rather than waiting for them to find it Links—a link to a different site that provides related or similar information or materials Use of this slide This slide can be used to discuss the various forms of advertising that are available to the Internet advertiser. More forms will be presented on a later slide.
  • #17 Relation to text This slide relates to material on p. 490 and Exhibit 15-8 of the text, which discusses forms of advertising on the web. Summary Overview This slide shows examples of banner ads, which encourage the viewer to click through for more information about the product. Banner ads are the most common form of advertising found on the Internet. Unfortunately, banner ads are not very effective. They have low scores on recall and click-through rates. Use of this slide This slide can be used to show one form of banner advertising. You may wish to engage students in a discussion of why they believe banner ads are ineffective.
  • #18 Relation to text This slide relates to material on pp. 491-494 of the text. Summary Overview The slide shows various forms of advertising that can be done on the Internet. These include: Paid Search—the fastest growing form of advertising on the Internet; advertisers pay only when a consumer clicks on an ad or link from a search engine page Behavioral Targeting—based on the targeting of consumers according to their web-surfing behaviors Contextual Ads—ads based on the content of the website on which they appear Rich Media—a broad range of interactive digital media that exhibit dynamic motion through video, audio, and animation Additional Forms—there are too many forms to cover here, but the most recognized are Podcasting, RSS feeds, and Blogs. Use of this slide This slide can be used to discuss various forms of advertising that are available to the Internet advertiser. Additional information on Podcasting, RSS, and blogs will follow.
  • #19 Relation to text This slide relates to material on p. 492-493 of the text. Summary Overview The increased penetration of broadband into households has increased the attention given to rich media. Three common forms of advertising are Podcasting, Really Simple Syndication (RRS), and blogs. Use of this slide This slide can be used to discuss the various types of rich media.
  • #20 Relation to text This slide relates to material on p. 493-494 of the text. Summary Overview This slide shows three additional ways to deliver advertising messages on the Internet: Podcasting, which is used to distribute radiolike files for downloading into iPods and other MP3 players Really Simple Syndication (RSS), which is a specification that uses XML to organize and format Web-based content in a standard way so that it can be distributed to multiple websites. Blogs, which consist primarily of periodic articles and other writings, normally presented in reverse chronological order. Use of this slide When used with the previous two slides, this slide provides additional insight into the various and evolving forms of Internet advertising.
  • #21 Relation to text This slide relates to material on pp. 494-495 and Exhibit 15-11 of the text. Summary Overview Companies sometimes offer contests, sweepstakes, downloadable coupons, and more to encourage visits to their sites, as well as to establish brand loyalty. This slide shows the Yahoo Web site, on which a sweepstakes and pictures of prior winners are prominently displayed. It is a good example of using sales promotions on the Internet. Use of this slide This slide can be used to provide an example of the use of sales promotion on an Internet site.
  • #22 Relation to text This slide relates to material on page 495 of the text. Summary Overview This slide summarizes various perspectives as to whether the Internet will replace or enhance personal selling as we now know it. Those who feel that the Internet will replace personal selling note that selling via the Internet reduces the high cost of personal selling and vastly increases reach. Those who propose that the Internet will enhance personal selling cite the following: Web sites have become a primary source of information Visitors become part of the potential customer base, and can be more easily qualified Improves one-on-one relationships by providing timely information to customers Stimulates trial through demonstrations or samples offered online Visitors to the site can request a personal sales call or follow-up Cross-selling is easier through the Web site In a well-designed IMC program, the Internet and personal selling are designed to complement one another. Use of this slide This slide can be used to provide an overview of the arguments as to whether the Internet will replace or enhance personal selling efforts.
  • #23 Relation to text This slide relates to material on p. 495-496 and Exhibit 15-13 of the text. Summary Overview This slide provides an example of how Chrysler uses its website for public relations efforts. Many companies now use their websites to provide information about the company, product and service information, news and events, and an archive of press releases.

  • #25 Relation to text This slide relates to material on p. 497 of the text. Summary Overview Email is often used by catalogers and others who conduct direct marketing on the Internet. Email is highly targeted, relies heavily on lists, and attempts to reach those with specific needs.
