This document summarizes the key findings of Alterian's 2009 annual survey of over 1,000 marketers, agencies, and systems integrators. The survey found that marketers are shifting marketing budgets from traditional direct marketing to digital and social channels, with 40% anticipating over a 20% shift. However, many marketers are not prepared to leverage new techniques, with 42% not integrating web analytics into customer databases and 40% of marketing staff lacking necessary skills. A growing need for customer engagement is driving demand for new service providers to help marketers better coordinate resources and channels. While interest in social media is high, with 66% planning investments, many may not see full benefits without also investing in social media monitoring tools.
Social media marketing involves using social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter to promote products and services. It allows companies to communicate with current and potential customers as well as other stakeholders. Effective social media marketing relies on user-generated content rather than prepared ads. While initially focused on search engine optimization, social media marketing has expanded to include content creation and engagement across many platforms. Both large companies and non-profits now use social media marketing to build their brands and share information about their programs and services.

unprecedented marketing opportunity that transcends traditional middlemen and connects
companies directly with customers. Customer acquisitions remain to be the prime goal of
Indian marketers. According to leading marketers of India, the top three online investment

pure play traditional platforms to an integrated multi-channel approach is helping the marketers
address the challenge of new consumers expectations across many devices and channels. Indian

Quick summary of our primary findings:
1. Marketers place high value on social media: A significant 90% of marketers indicate
that social media is important for their business.
2. Measurement and integration are top areas marketers want to master: One third of all
social media marketers want to know how to monitor and measure the Return on
Investment (ROI) of social media and integrate their social media activities.
3. Facebook and Twitter are the most popular social media platforms for brands to be
present on, followed by YouTube and LinkedIn.
4. Almost all the brands have their own website; a considerable number of brands also
have a mobile website and a mobile app. There is a significant overlap among brands
that have apps with those that have a mobile-friendly website, which indicates that
these brands are looking at mobile as a separate engagement channel.
5. Despite the focus on social media, surprisingly, brands still considered website as the
most effective platform for customer engagement, followed by Facebook, mobile sites,
Twitter and mobile apps.
6. Brands are advertising on web, social and mobile, and driving traffic across channels by
cross-linking various platforms to attract users to their digital touch points.
7. Brands are also looking to create compelling content such as storytelling, contests and
―creating strong content capsules where brand and brand purposes are effectively
interspersed‖ to drive users to digital and social media channels.
8. This also includes publishing content that includes industry trends and other points of
interest to their users, as opposed to only product and service-related information.
9. Instagram has gained immense popularity and is preferred by brands and consumers
alike. 60% of the brands we surveyed leverage Instagram as a crucial social media tool.
10. Report indicates that businesses are using 360° integrated campaigns/omni-channel
approaches to marketing, indicating that digital and social media marketing is being
integrated with traditional marketing strategies to engage with customers through
multiple touch points.
9. 4
11. The number of brands spending 16% or more of their marketing budgets on social
media has increased over the last few years. Moreover, for the first time in three years
we are seeing some brands specify that they spent more than 31% on social media.
12. The top-three challenges faced for marketing a brand on social media were —
sustaining or increasing engagement rates, content creation and measuring
effectiveness. These were same in the last edition, though percentages varied
marginally.
13. The top challenges to attract users to digital touch points relate to effectively defining
the target group/audience and the lack of dedicated budgets for these
channels/advertising.
14. While brands usually integrate their social media with their web or mobile commerce
initiatives through cross-linkages between platforms, surprisingly, not all businesses
link their website or app to their social media channels.
15. Despite the statistics that show referrals from peers being considered trustworthy, 16%
of brands still do not allow word-of-mouth (WOM) referrals through social sharing,
which means they are not leveraging the benefits of using their user base for WOM
marketing.
16. To gain customer feedback, 88% of respondents conduct social listening; however, only
56% brands use a listening tool (the most common being Radian6, followed by
Meltwater and Sysomos).
17. While 60% of brands still rely on traditional channels such as call centers and email for
Customer Servicing, 60% brands are also providing Customer Servicing on social
media.

1.1 INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Social media marketing
Social media marketing is the use of social media platforms and websites to promote a product
or service. Although the terms e-marketing and digital marketing are still the dominant terms in
academia, social media marketing is becoming more popular both amongst practitioners and
researchers. Most social media platforms have their own built-in data analytics tools, which
enable companies to track the progress, success, and engagement of ad campaigns. Companies
address a range of stakeholders through social media marketing including current and potential
customers, current and potential employees, journalists, bloggers, and the general public. On a
strategic level, social media marketing includes the management of the implementation of a
marketing campaign, governance, setting the scope (e.g. more active or passive use) and the
establishment of a firm's desired social media "culture" and "tone". To use social media
effectively, firms should learn to allow customers and Internet users to post user-generated
content (e.g., online comments, product reviews, etc.), also known as "earned media", rather
than use marketer-prepared advertising copy. While social media marketing is often associated
with companies, as of 2016, a range of not-for-profit organizations and government
organizations are engaging in social media marketing of their programs or services.
Social media marketing tools
Besides research, various companies provide specialized platforms and tools for social media
marketing:
• Social media measurement
• Social network aggregation
• Social bookmarking
• Social analytics
• Automation
• Social media
• Blog marketing
• Validation

1. Blogging: When you start Blogging or posting your data about any product, you can
see less response from clients. Later it will become big business via blog. Websites and
blogs are most powerful tools for social network marketing when matched with other
networking tools. Blog is an amazing tool which provides many other facilities in
addition to just marketing your business. It also helps you to communicate with other
clients in case if you have any problems.
2. Personal website or blog: It is important to have private website if you are a
freelancer. Your website will help your clients to know about you and it will make them
clear that you are a serious freelance marketer and help to make huge revenue
via online marketing.
3. Article selling: It is also best and cheap internet marketing method. It is a mode of
advertising our trade just by writing articles and attracting endless number of users
across world. We usually sell our articles to different article database websites and
article directories. Today it provided free business to many advertisers and publishers
and they are really benefited through their articles.
4. Email sending: Electronic mail sending is the best way to marketing. Collect list of
email addresses through portfolio websites and email about your business to all internet
users. Your Email should be attractive in such away that your recipient will be
impressed to get back to you.
5. Use social networking websites: Social networking websites like Twitter,
Facebook can be used to promote your sales. These provide best platform for all who
are thinking of online marketing.
6. Video promotion: Use several video distribution websites for your marketing.
These websites uploads your service to the whole world. All that you need to do is film
a video about marketing and send it to video uploading sites like You Tube. It seems it
is the easiest way of marketing than any other modes since many people will be
interested in view videos rather than word form of advertisement.

relationship among them.
8. Search Engine Optimization: It improves the traffic to your website by providing
quality web content. It uses RSS feeds and many SEO techniques.

Social networking websites and blogs
Social networking websites allow individuals to interact with one another and build
relationships. When products or companies join those sites, people can interact with the
product or company. That interaction feels personal to users because of their previous
experiences with social networking site interaction Social networking sites and blogs allow
individual followers to ‗retweet‘ or ‗repost‘ comments made by the product being promoted.
By repeating the message, all of the user‗s connections are able to see the message, therefore
reaching more people. Social networking sites act as word of mouth. Because the information
about the product is being put out there and is getting repeated, more traffic is brought to the
product/company. Through social networking sites, products/companies can have
conversations and interactions with individual followers. This personal interaction can install a
feeling of loyalty into followers and potential customers. Also, by choosing whom to follow on
these sites, products can reach a very narrow target audience.
Engagement
In the context of the social web, engagement means that customers and stakeholders are
participants rather than viewers. Social media in business allows anyone and everyone to
express and share an opinion or idea somewhere along the business‗s path to market. Each
participating customer becomes part of the marketing department, as other customers read their
comments or reviews. The engagement process is then fundamental to successful social media
marketing.
Example-2008 Presidential Election
The 2008 presidential campaign had a huge presence on social networking sites. Barack
Obama, a Democratic candidate for US President, used Twitter and Facebook to differentiate
his campaign. His social networking site profile pages were constantly being updated and
interacting with followers.
Implications on traditional advertising Minimizing use
Traditional advertising techniques include print and television advertising. The Internet had
already overtaken television as the largest advertising market. Websites often include banner or
pop-up ads. Social networking sites don‗t always have ads. In exchange, products have entire
pages and are able to interact with users. Television commercials often end with a
spokesperson asking viewers to check out the product website for more information. Print ads
are also starting to include barcodes on them. These barcodes can be scanned by cell phones
and computers, sending viewers to the product website. Advertising is beginning to move
viewers from the traditional outlets to the electronic ones.
14. 9
Leaks
Internet and social networking leaks are one of the issues facing traditional advertising. Video
and print ads are often leaked to the world via the Internet earlier than they are scheduled to
premiere. Social networking sites allow those leaks to go viral, and be seen by many users
more quickly. Time difference is also a problem facing traditional advertisers. When social
events occur and are broadcast on television, there is often a time delay between airings on the
east coast and west coast of the United States. Social networking sites have become a hub of
comment and interaction concerning the event. This allows individuals watching the event on
the west coast(time-delayed) to know the outcome before it airs.
Social media marketing mishaps
Social media marketing provides organizations with a way to connect with their customers.
However, organizations must protect their information as well as closely watch comments and
concerns on the social media they use. A flash poll done on 1225 IT executives from 33
countries revealed that social media mishaps caused organizations a combined $4.3 million in
damages in 2010.The top three social media incidents an organization faced during the
previous year included employees sharing too much information in public forums, loss or
exposure of confidential information, and increased exposure to litigation An example of
a social media mishap includes designer Kenneth Cole's Twitter mishap in 2011. When
Kenneth Cole tweeted, "Millions are in uproar in #Cairo. Rumour is they heard our new spring
collection is now available online at [Kenneth Cole's website]".This reference to the 2011
Egyptian Revolution drew objection from the public.

billion accounts in India, a country with almost similar number of people!

mobile phone connections, of which 750 million use their phones to access the internet,
making our country the second largest market globally on both counts.

after print, television, and websites.

unprecedented change across the media landscape. Content consumption is booming in
‗Bharat‘ and regional language content has seen staggering growth, with Hindi, Tamil,
17. 12
Telugu, Kannada, and Bengali topping the charts. In fact, three out of four users in
India use social media in regional languages. A key factor in this regard is that mobile
internet tariffs in India are among the cheapest in the world.
9. What all of this has also meant is that the number of rural mobile internet users is
higher than in urban areas. This has helped reduce the digital divide and break the grip
of a small English language elite on content creation, distribution, and consumption.
10. Together, the smartphone and cheap mobile internet access have proven to be profound
forces that have reshaped all aspects of human endeavour, redefined society, culture,
politics, commerce, as well as the media landscape across the world and moreover in
India.

said they were using social networks for their efforts about even with last year, at 89%. While
this percentage has risen dramatically since 2007, when just 20% of marketers used social

2.1. SWOT Analysis: Social Media
Strengths:
Large market reach or penetration and it‗s Very useful if you are setting up a digital
engagement strategy (to new people, young people).Social media builds a conversation and
converse with others and build close networking bonds which share quick information
exchange. It lets you follow and connect with people/groups that interest you but are not
necessarily yourfriends (as with Facebook). Authors, celebrities, co-workers, colleges,
organizations etc. The campaigns are generally Cost-effective in the sense most of the
platforms are free.
They just demand time, there is a Human factor: Your brand becomesmore HUMAN .Media
exposure can be another strength of this. While Twitter is in a strong market position in micro-
messaging. Facebook is the only real competitor here and they attract users for different
reasons. It helps to build strong, long term relationships through online social networking, at a
faster pace than just relying on traditional face-to-face networking and Gets tons of publicity.
The industry has developers creating hundreds of applications around its API. It is totally RSS-
enabled.
Weaknesses:
Tough to train or convince management team/group members on social media principles as
Alotof―WhyBother‖frommostmainstream(i.e.Facebook users) people are there. The industry has
low retention rate. Only40%.Lacks tools or resources to track and monitor social media
campaign results. There is concern about information leakage, liability, security, and
management also.
Effort vs results: Even if it is more measurable than other channels, it is difficult (especially for
small business operations) to balance the effort put on social media against the results obtained
Consistency: Engaging with your audience at a direct level means more efforts in terms of
keeping a consistent message/ corporate image
Making up for mistakes: The time-frame to correct errors that affect your audience is less.
Because you are heavily exposed, your company has to take action more promptly than if you
weren‗t (especially if people are having conversations about your brand, you will have to
engage and clarify)
Blocked at many work sites: management sees it drops productivity; hurts bottom line.
33. 28
Opportunities:
Creating/joining online presence on sites where the company currently doesn‗t
exist,Great opportunity for individuals and organizations to connect and exchange
information.
opens a new target or niche markets that are untapped: students, the public.
Partnerships with other groups, organizations, schools, government, etc.
Penetration into a new geographical market quickly.
Recruitment of interested new members, students, and public support and allows you to build
short and long term relationships with prospects. It humanizes the ‗brand‘ and makes the
recruitment process more personal.
Can gain deep insights into real-time trends, news, and all of us be the pulse of the internet‖ as
said by Founder Biz Stone.
Integration into real- time games, media, and apps. We‗ve barely scratched the surface so far
on what‗s possible. Twitter as real time infrastructure.
It may become the dominant way for businesses to communicate with their customers as quick
delivery, branding opportunities, and enhanced marketing opportunities are there.
Being present where stuff happens: People research for info/products/services online and value
more the opinion of other individuals than whatever a company may say about their own offer.
If your company is present in an interactive environment like social media, the opportunities
for engagement, conversion and most importantly clarification of doubts regarding your brand,
are countless.
Developing a following/ audience those auto-nurtures itself: Your efforts in Social media,
together with the effort of your following may mean that your audience becomes your best
sales people.
Talent coming your way effortless: Because of the possibilities of exposure that Social Media
allows for, interacting here may mean that future talent (in the shape of employees, partners or,
you-name-it) will come your way through the power of connecting online!
Reach out to certain groups that traditional media didn‗t allow you to: Because Social media is
for everyone, sooner or later you‗ll come across people you never thought of as your client.
This opens the doors to building new relationships but also to valuable feedback that can help
you develop your products or services more intelligently.

Threats:
Competitor is going after the same space or same audience with similar campaign and the
question also arises whether the current campaign sustainable, can it continue? There can be
threat of Attitudes on privacy: while lately it seems everyone is willing to share the most

.intimate as well as mundane details of their life there could easily be a backlash against this trend.
We‗ve all heard of a few embarrassing stories about over-sharing online, and a few high-profile
examples might make people rethink their habits. Micro-messaging may just be a fad. There‗s
nothing inherently awesome about 140 characters. It got too much publicity in a shorttime. May get
burned out and getting dangerously spammy/porn spammy .The market doesn‗thave solid revenue

Other social networking sites (MySpace, Tagged, Friend feed, identi.ca,others) may grow and
steal market share and Acquisition by a bigger player (Google) may disappoint early adopters
and loyal users.
Analysis of social networking sites: A study on effective communication
strategy in developing brand communication
Internet is the emerging information technology with the credibility of immediacy and fastness,
thus, it brings globalization in every aspects of communication. Communication through
internet is more specified, with effective interactive strategy among its users. In recent days,
internet advertising has taken new forms which have more advantages over the traditional
mediums like print media, television and radio. Marketing communication is becoming precise,
personal, interesting, interactive and social. Different strategies of communication are followed
in various social networking sites like Face book, Twitter and Instagram. They not only create
impact over the audience but also make them interact with the marketing statistics created.
People get attached to brand communication in social networking sites than usual banner and
pop up ads. These networking sites bring more interactive communication with advertising.
Social networking sites will become the primary arena for highly targeted marketing and
advertising. Therefore, it is necessary to study the effectiveness of brand communication
strategy followed in social networking sites which are mainly accessed by Indian users. This
research attempts to find the effectiveness of brand communication strategy in promoting and
advertising their brand in social networking sites. The effectiveness is determined with the help
of survey from people who use these sites, and the content of three social networking sites is
analysed.

INTRODUCTION
In its current form, internet is primarily a source of communication, information and
entertainment, but increasingly, it also acts as a vehicle for commercial transactions. Since the
38. 29
explosion of the web as a business medium, one of its primary uses has been for marketing.
Soon, the web could become a critical distribution channel for the majority of successful
enterprises. One among them is marketing and spreading brand communication through Social
networking sites (Thompson, 2002).
Social networking websites are online communities of people who share interests and activities
or who are interested in exploring the interests and activities of others. They typically provide a
variety of ways for users to interact, through chat, messaging, email, video, voice chat, file-
sharing, blogging and discussion groups. As World Wide Web grew in popularity, social
networking moved to web-based applications. In 2002, social networking era really started. In
2006, anyone with an email address could sign up in social networking sites (Zarrella,
2010).Now advertisers target more over to these media due to high rush in varsity of audiences.
So they hire this as the ideal platform to communicate their brand and create an effective brand
identity through highly effective and interactive communication strategy. Most of the
advertisers present their ads in interactive form so that people tend more to check them and
gain a little knowledge about the product. There are various forms of brand communication
available in social networking sites. The effective way of brand communication present in
these networking sites would be the main aim of the study.
39. 30
Social media
Social media advertising is a paid form of brand, service or business promotion and requires
a proper and planned communicative message and budget. Advertising is customer centric in
nature. Customers play an important role in any major or minor communication because they
are the one who are going to decide the fate of the advertising communication. Some benefits
40. 31
of social network advertising include:
1. Popularizing your brand, idea or service to the target group.
2. Informing target audience about your brand or service‗s presence in the market.
3. Encouraging healthy competition in the market.
4. Providing social benefits for the brand.
5. Making the audience to interact and keep them intact with the brand.
.
Advertising in internet provides a major contribution to brand competition in the market.
Advertising here not only provides information about a product or service but also promotes
innovation. Besides it also facilitates consumer satisfaction. Big and small companies,
individuals of all walks of life, major and minor events, concepts, etc., nowadays lay their base
on social network advertising to get recognized in the market (Zarrella, 2010).With over 200
million active users, Face book, Twitter and Instagram have become a personal, product and
corporate branding hub in India. Every brand that exists on social networking sites has the
same core features and benefits, such as the ability to create a page, share resources, add
multimedia and much more (Eric, 2008). The effective brand communication strategies are
analysed to find the impact among the users.
Social networking sites
A social networking site creates network communication among the user community. Though
social networking site serves for communication purposes among special interest groups, the
marketing strategy has also entered this medium for its reach. People get exposed to various
kinds of brand communication through this media. They tend to interact with the brand and
also get awareness about the brand and its service in an interesting way (Nicole, 2007). Hence,
there is a need to study the effective way of communication in branding the product in social
networking sites and analyse its reach among the people and their perceptions in this research.
In recent trend of marketing in social networking sites, various brand communications are
widely used to attract targeted leads. So, this study would help to know the effectiveness of
communication and strategy done through social networking sites which make the target
audience to participate in this kind of advertising. This is mainly studied on networking sites
which are popular among Indian users were Facebook, Twitter. This study would help the
advertisers to understand the effective communication strategy to communicate their brand
among the users.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Scott (2009) states the reasons for brand promoters preferring online web for marketing is that
the tools, techniques and content are constantly evolving. The buyers reward creativity by
responding to the online efforts like:
―If you are open to trying out new things, you can be first in your industry to use something
new to communicate to your buyers‖.
Marketing in some social networking websites are still the most popular in their niche. Shih
(2009) says that there are hundreds of millions of active users across sites like Facebook, Hi5
and MySpace. 2.6 billion min are spent on Facebook each day. These websites are enabling
brands to engage the right people in the right conversation at right time. Marketing the brands
through social media is becoming precise, personal, interesting, interactive and social.
Weber (2009) says promoting a community is just like as promoting a new brand product or
service to the consumers. Social media is used to communicate people in the promotional
aspect and inclined to involve.
236 J. Media Commun. Stud.
People. Traditional advertising and direct marketing in social media is to send people to the
digital community to be informed, entertained and heard. Users find appealing, a value high
enough to encourage them to participate.
43. 34
Borges (2009) finds that today's buyers want to be engaged differently than in years past and
many traditional marketing tactics simply do not work anymore. Social media marketing is
a revolutionary way to build solid relationships with buyers. Low cost, brand building, staffing
advantages, loyalty and level playing field are key benefits of social networking sites as a
successful marketing media.
Zarrella (2010) says the roots of online social networking can be traced to the 1980s bulletin
board systems (BBS). These systems allowed the users to create personal profiles, helps to
share information by sending private messages, public messages and post events at low
speed connectivity. After emanation of social networking technology in the internet world, it
grew higher and popular among the internet user.
Lacy and Hernandez (2009) says Twitter gives the ability to share nearly140- characters
thoughts in a split second, where user can easily share links to press releases and stories about
their business, service or product. Making tweets interesting and diverse, there is a more
possibility of increasing the followers, by consider with news sharing and stories about the
industry that they serve.
The rules of marketing had to change and the web has proved a catalyst in bringing the changes
forward and amplifying their scale. The sudden emergence of the Web 2.0 marketing
techniques demand additional approaches, while most marketers are still wrestling with the
first generation, savvy brands are exploring the landscape that social media and social networks
create for marketers. These techniques are allowing much deeper drivers in social change to be
unleashed, with a profound impact on planning customer connections. The new generation
of relationship marketing responds to the additional challenges of digital media literacy and in
the right hands can trigger a rebuild of the entire marketing mix through different strategies.
Relationship marketing for the Face book generation demands both thinking and acting
differently .
Stroud (2015) says that the ability of social networking sites to generate these huge volumes of
web traffic is proof of their huge popularity. Google,
Yahoo and News International have bought themselves a presence in the social networking
44. 35

for brands including Cherry Coke and Fanta and has promoted Diet Coke and other drinks on
Google's YouTube.
Smith (2012) says that Face book is becoming one of the great internet communications
of people time now days. Whereas many companies have tried to emulate Facebook‗s
success or challenge it in one geography or another, Face book has proven that the core asset
on which all of its services are built - the social graph - is much more defensible and powerful
than many others once anticipated.
Visitors to social networking sites are significantly more likely than average to visit leisure-
oriented retail site categories, such as music, jewellery/luxury goods/ accessories, consumer
electronics and apparel. Heavy social networking visitors are defined as the top 20% of
visitors based on time spent on social networking sites. People typically enjoy sharing their
experiences with these products, whether it is to talk about their new iPhone or the pair of
designer jeans they just bought. Social networking sites offer the venue for those conversations
to occur. Social media advertising is ideal for promoting brand recognition, although click-
through rates are not so strong. Still, there is no doubt that advertising via social media sites is
an effective way to increase your overall revenue stream (Brinlee, 2009).

57. 48
their customers or users.
Big and small variety of brands nowadays laid their base on social network communication to
get recognized in the target market. Social networking sites users of Facebook, Twitter and
Instagram have become a personal, product and corporate branding hub in India nowadays in
digital era. Every brand that exists on social networking sites has the same core features
and benefits, such as the ability to create a page, share resources, add multimedia and much
more.
Social networking sites are filled with potential users who are mainly young adults. They spend
more time in these networking sites due to heavy commercial contents, entertainment and
social gathering. So, product or service communicators throng their ads in these areas with
more and more interactive and with fascinating factors so that their brand identity is developed
among the right choice of focused audience. Advertisers and brands uses social networking
sites as the major resource for their promotion and developing brand identity among the
focused market.
SUGGESTIONS
Communication should be more preferred than advertising: people do not prefer buying
products through social networking sites. So, if the brand is communicated well and
remembered by the audience, then it is a greatest success to the company for their promotion
through social media. Promotional way of advertising is best: the usual banner ads and pop-up
ads make the users to ignore them.
So advertising must be interactive, promotional and in innovative form to hold the audience. It
should target the individuals than the mass. If an ad is hosted for a group then that would be no
advantage in delivering specified information. Adding more multimedia elements to have more
interactive factors in fan pages and group would benefit the brand user.
