What is e-Marketing? • However, it is easy to lose sight of the big picture, if we only think about e-marketing in the narrowest sense as: • Website marketing • E-mail marketing • Online (banner) advertising • Search marketing www.bournemouth.ac.uk
What is e-Marketing? A more considered definition: • “E-marketing is the use of information technology in the processes of creating, communicating, and delivering value to the customers, and for managing relationships in ways that benefit the organization and its stakeholders.” (Strauss, El-Ansary & Frost 2006) www.bournemouth.ac.uk

To summarise… • e-Marketing has to be considered as an integral part of the overall business strategy • E-Marketing/e-Business can offer unique opportunities for micro-enterprises and SMEs to strengthen their competitiveness • The emergence of information and communication technologies (ICTs) is fundamentally changing the business environment, business practices and consumer behaviour • The customer is king, yet the customer doesn’t mind doing some of the work • Ultimately it’s not about technology, it’s about people: relationships, communities and social interaction www.bournemouth.ac.uk
