RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

12
Research
Research is "creative and systematic work undertaken to increase the stock of
knowledge". It involves the collection, organization and analysis of information to
increase understanding of a topic or issue. A research project may be an expansion on
past work in the field. To test the validity of instruments, procedures, or experiments,
research may replicate elements of prior projects or the project as a whole.
The primary purposes of basic research (as opposed to applied research)
are documentation, discovery, interpretation, and the research and
development (R&D) of methods and systems for the advancement of
human knowledge. Approaches to research depend on epistemologies, which vary
considerably both within and between humanities and sciences. There are several
forms of research: scientific, humanities, artistic, economic, social,
business, marketing, practitioner research, life, technological, etc. The scientific study
of research practices is known as meta-research.
One definition of research is used by the OECD, "Any creative systematic activity
undertaken in order to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of man,
culture and society, and the use of this knowledge to devise new applications."
Another definition of research is given by John W. Creswell, who states that "research
is a process of steps used to collect and analyse information to increase our
understanding of a topic or issue". It consists of three steps: pose a question, collect
data to answer the question, and present an answer to the question.

Significance of research
 
1. To Gather Necessary Information:

Research provides you with all necessary information in field of your work,
study or operation before you begin working on it. For example, most
companies do research before beginning a project in order to get a basic idea
about the things they will need to do for the project. Research also helps them
get acquainted with the processes and resources involved and reception from
the market. This information helps in the successful outcome of the project.

2. To Make Changes:

Sometimes, there are in-built problems in a process or a project that is hard to


discover. Research helps us find the root cause and associated elements of a
process. The end result of such research invokes a demand for change and
sometimes is successful in producing changes as well. For example, many U.N
researches have paved way for changes in environmental policies.

13
3. Improving Standard of Living:

Only through research can new inventions and discoveries come into life. It
was C.V Raman’s research that prompted invention of radio communication.
Imagine how you would have communicated had Graham Bell not come out
with the first ever practical telephone! Forget telephones, what would have
happened if Martin Cooper did not present the world the concept of mobile
phones! Addicted as we are to mobile phones, we need to understand that all
the luxuries and the amenities that are now available to us are the result of
research done by someone. And with the world facing more and crisis each
day, we need researchers to find new solutions to tackle them.

4. For A Safer Life:

Research has made ground breaking discoveries and development in the field
of health, nutrition, food technology and medicine. These things have
improved the life expectancy and health conditions of human race in all parts
of the world and helped eradicate diseases like polio, smallpox completely.
Diseases that were untreatable are now history, as new and new inventions and
research in the field of medicine have led to the advent of drugs that not only
treat the once-incurable diseases, but also prevent them from recurring.

5. To Know the Truth:

It has been proved time and again that many of established facts and known
truths are just cover ups or blatant lies or rumours. Research is needed to
investigate and expose these and bring out the truth.

6. Explore Our History:

Research about our planets history and human history has enabled us to learn
and understand more about our forefathers and helped us learn from their
mistakes and absorb good things from their life. Research about the planet’s
history and existence has told us a lot about how things will shape up in years
to come and how we need to respect our planet and work closely together to
stop global warming and other scenarios of destruction.

7. Understanding Arts:

This helps us in understanding the work of artists in literature, paintings,


sculptures and everything that can be attributed with artistic touch. If no
research is conducted into any of these, we will never be able to understand
any of these as per the artist’s imagination. Also, a lot of great artistic work is
hidden in the shadows of history, which needs to be drawn out.

RESEARCH METHODLOGY

desired partly or wholly form the facts. These facts may be statements of opinions,

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
dominant in academia, social media marketing is becoming more popular for both
practitioners and researchers. Most social media platforms have built-in
data analytics tools, enabling 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 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."
When using social media marketing, firms can 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.

Social networking websites


Social networking websites allow individuals, businesses and other organizations to
interact with one another and build relationships and communities online. When
companies join these social channels, consumers can interact with them directly. That
interaction can be more personal to users than traditional methods of outbound
marketing and advertising. Social networking sites act as word of mouth or more
precisely, e-word of mouth. The Internet's ability to reach billions across the globe has
given online word of mouth a powerful voice and far reach. The ability to rapidly
change buying patterns and product or service acquisition and activity to a growing
number of consumers is defined as an influence network. Social networking sites
and blogs allow followers to "retweet" or "repost" comments made by others about a
product being promoted, which occurs quite frequently on some social media sites. By
repeating the message, the user's connections are able to see the message, therefore
reaching more people. Because the information about the product is being put out
there and is getting repeated, more traffic is brought to the product/company.
Social networking websites are based on building virtual communities that allow
consumers to express their needs, wants and values, online. Social media marketing
then connects these consumers and audiences to businesses that share the same needs,
wants, and values. Through social networking sites, companies can keep in touch with
individual followers. This personal interaction can instil 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. Social networking sites also include
much information about what products and services prospective clients might be
interested in. Through the use of new semantic analysis technologies, marketers can
detect buying signals, such as content shared by people and questions posted online.
An understanding of buying signals can help sales people target relevant prospects
and marketers run micro-targeted campaigns.

NEED
Social Media is the current big buzzword in the world of Internet Marketing, and with
good reason. It is already such a big part of the Internet culture. It is here to stay and
should be ignored by marketers, or indeed anybody, at their peril. It is important to
understand WHY people use these websites, as there is a broad demographic on these
sites. Some people use them for business purposes, to network and find new deals.
Then there are others who use social networking sites for purely personal reasons and
are totally oblivious to the fact that there is a business presence in the social
networking environment at all. It is fascinating to see that there are so many different
things going on in one place, and even more incredible that they seem to all work in
harmony.

IT IS NEEDED:

1. To know the opinion of people for social networking sites, how do they use it, what
are the sites they use and how these sites help them in socializing

2. Formulate and implement marketing strategies for branding, promoting and


communicating the information to the customers.

3. What are the attractive form of advertisements and improve the quality of
advertisement

4. Are we reaching the right audience, and if so, are we reaching them effectively!

CONCLUSION

Findings

33
1. To find the most effective strategy of social media marketing

Finding: according to the survey the five most effective strategy of social
media marketing are:
 Marketing automation tools.
 Content marketing trend.
 Big data.
 Mobile marketing trend.
 Conversion rate optimization (CRO)

2. To find out the awareness of social media marketing:

Finding: maximum people agree to the fact that they spend most of the time
over internet and 82% of total sample population are aware of the social media
marketing.

3. To find the effective brand communication for social media promotion.

Finding: maximum people agree to the fact Instagram and WhatsApp are
observed as the most used social networking applications and effective for the
brand communication.

4. To study the key trends in social media marketing

Finding: the trend of social media marketing is:


 Instagram
 Facebook
 WhatsApp
 Twitter
 LinkedIn

According to people communicated during the survey Facebook and WhatsApp are
the most popular trend in social media marketing.

Other findings:
34
I. Instagram and WhatsApp are observed as the most used social networking
applications.
II. People use social networking sites for promoting business and have
communities for their business.
III. There are minimum people who have used marketing applications in the past.
IV. Majority of people agree to fact they view advertisements on social
networking sites.
V. Maximum people are attracted and came across to Web Banner and Video ads.
VI. Most of the people see advertisement of Instagram, WhatsApp and LinkedIn.

Limitations:

35
1. Sample size – The sample size was small which comprises only 150
respondents from total visited customers.

2. Personal bias – the survey did not wany to go into personal and stick only to
job and organizational related issues and there was a personal bias of the
respondents while answering the questionnaires.

3. Time duration – Time duration was only 60 days and hence there was a time
constraint.

4. Way of understanding - Asking a question is easy. But how can one be sure
the respondent understood the question the way you wanted them to? 

Suggestion:

36
I. Communication should be more preferred than advertising. 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.

II. Promotional way of advertising is best: the usual banner ads and video ads
attract them. So, advertising must be interactive, promotional and in
innovative form to hold the audience.

III. Advertisement should target the individuals than the mass. If an ad is hosted
