LITERATURE REVIEW
The four P's - Product, Price, Place and Promotion have long been associated with
marketing, but things have changed on the Internet. So along with a change in the
nature of the four P’s there are three new P’s which are relevant to the internet
1. Product
Product on the Internet usually changes form online, and the user experiences it
electronically, in the form of text, images and multimedia. Physical goods are
usually presented in the form of a detailed online catalogue that the customer can
browse through. Technology allows the user to virtually touch and feel the product
on the Internet - rotate it, zoom in or zoom out and even visualize the product in
different configurations and combination. Content and software are two avatars of
digitized products that can be even distributed over the Internet. To be able to
attract the customers and retain them, the company will have to provide nouvelle
and distinct products that forces the net users to purchase and come back for more.

2. Price
Price has been drastically changed over the Internet. It lets the buyer decides the
price.Also it gives the buyers information about multiple sellers selling the same
product. Itleads to best possible deal for the buyers in terms of price. Pricing is

The presentation of the online business needs to have an easy to use navigation.
Thelook and the feel of the web site should be based on corporate logos and
standards.About 80% of the people read only 20% of the web page. Therefore, the
web pages could not be cluttered with a lot of information. Also, simple but

Our first step will be to develop a great product. Probably thinking that's easier said
than done, but it's really not. The absolute best product is one that we can develop
ourselves and deliver over the Internet. With today's technology, the key

Your product should not only deliver what you promise, but should go above and
beyond the expected and over deliver. Your customer’s satisfaction is of the utmost
importance.
Once we've developed a great product, the next step will be to develop a great web
site. Web site must be specifically designed to sell the product. Everything within a
website should have one purpose – getting our visitor to take action. Words are the
most powerful marketing tool we have. The right words will turn our visitors into
customers. The wrong words will cause them to click away and never return.
Words are the entire foundation of our business. Our product, our web site and our
marketing strategies all depend upon our words. Fancy graphics don't make sales
-- words do. Every word, sentence and headline should have one specific purpose
-- to lead our potential customer to our order page. Write our website copy as if

visitor's need for a solution. Continue to write and explain why our product is the
solution to their problem. Tell them exactly what our product will do for them --
why it will solve their problems and how. Pack the copy with benefits and more
benefits.
Marketing strategy is the final process of the plan and must include both short-term
and long-term strategies in order to succeed. Short term marketing strategies are
