PARADIGM SHIFT OF MARKETING: MARKETING 1.0 AND MARKETING 2.0

Marketing 2.0 is, in some ways, a "paradigm shift" for marketers. The old paradigm (Marketing 1.0) has been characterized as 'top down, interruption marketing', meaning that sellers controlled what was said about their products and services, who got to hear their messages and when they heard them. The classic example of interruption marketing is the unwanted television commercial that appears just as the suspense is building on your favourite TV show. The new paradigm (Marketing 2.0) shifts much greater control of information flow to the potential customer. In this view, the customer chooses what information to examine, when to access it, and importantly, has the opportunity to add to the information flow that other potential customers may see. Some have called this a shift to "permission marketing" (the seller has to be invited into the customer's attention). Others have called this "conversation marketing" to express that customers can now dialogue with companies and with one another about what they want, what they like and don't like, what their experiences have been, etc. 

"Web 2.0 refers to a perceived second generation of web development and design that aims to facilitate communication, secure information sharing, interoperability, and collaboration on the World Wide Web." In other words, Web 2.0 is about all the new ways we are using the Web. Web 2.0 tools enable uncontrollable and Exponential dissemination of conversation marketing and permission marketing.

CUSTOMER IS NO LONGER A GOD: MARKETING REVOLUTION

"Customer is a God". The thing that everyone has heard and believed. But in rapidly changing time, this statement has become questionable and is seen as an outdated concept. Today, producers or rather marketers are producing customers. They are not only catering to the present needs of customers, but are offering customers such products which can convert customers' wants to needs, be it for short duration. Producer/marketers are opting to remain in front of customers, ahead of customers and then developing a curiosity market. Rather being able to become price sensitive, marketers are persuading to become candy customers. So the question arises are customers god or are producers God. Slowly and gradually, roles of customers and producers are indulging in a revolution.

SELLING PRODUCT ONLINE: CONCEPT AND NECESSITY

To sell the product online, we need to understand concept of E-retailing or simply E-tailing. E-retailing  or E-tailing is defined as, "The sale of goods and services through the Internet." Electronic retailing, or e-tailing, can include business-to-business and business-to-consumer sales. E-tailing revenue can come from the sale of products and services, through subscriptions to website content, or through advertising. E-tailing requires businesses to tailor traditional business models to the rapidly changing face of the Internet and its users. E-tailers are not restricted solely to the Internet, and some brick-and-mortar businesses also operate websites to reach consumers. Online retailing is normally referred to as e-tailing.
