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:
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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
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)
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.
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.
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
for a group, then that would be no advantage in delivering specified
information.
IV. Adding more multimedia elements to have more interactive factors in fan
pages and group would benefit the brand user.
V. Instagram and WhatsApp are the most popular social networking applications
and must be used for social media promotions.
CONCLUSION
37
Communication about the product or service provides a major contribution to
brand competition in the market. It not only provides information about a product or
service but also promotes creative innovation. Besides advertising, it also facilitates
consumer satisfaction. The hidden fact is that no brand can progress without effective
communication strategy to attract 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 Face book, Twitter and Orkut 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 more 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 use social networking sites as the major resource for
their promotion and developing brand identity among the focused market.
