INTRODUCTION
To begin with, as a part of the curriculum a summer internship program was to be conducted for a
period of two months. Given a choice one was allowed to choose the field in which he/she was
interested. As my interest and curiosity was in online or digital marketing I choose to work with a
startup company named helping hand foundation/ OM Accounting. HHF/OM Accounting is
introduced in 2009 by Bhagirath Verma with the intention of offering Accounting (bookkeeping)
services to small companies and individuals. I choose this company because I can explore myself,
and why digital marketing? Because it is booming industry, the growth of digital marketing is
tremendous and expected to grow more.
Due to this summer internship, I learnt every aspect of digital marketing include (business
development process, content writing, social media).
Digital marketing startup companies follow a standard process of approaching clients. There are
certain steps which cannot be altered or skipped. These are followed in sequences and executed
after evaluating the process again and again. In digital marketing your team should be strong
enough to deliver what your client expecting, as under digital marketing everyone work is
interconnected and with a team only one campaign can get ready.
Helping hand foundation has continued to grow and expand both its client base as well as the
services it offers. Today, we have clients all over Rajasthan, in a variety of industries.
We pride ourselves on being a small, informal and friendly company – offering impartial advice
and effective and affordable solutions. We use Tally 9 for India and quickbooks for

It was an amazing experience working virtually and on field. I came to many new terminologies
of digital marketing, corporate world etc. The project contain the task which has been done by me
during my internship as well as what I have learnt from it.

Marketing is one of the business function most dramatically affected by emerging information

2. Neelika Arora 32has published researcharticle entitled “Trendsin Online
Advertising” inadvertising Express, Dec2004.
The global online advertising revenues are expected to touch US $10bn by 2006. In India, the
revenues at present are estimated to be Rs. 80 cr. and are expected to increase six times more
within the next five years.
In India, Internet as a medium is accepted by a wider industrial segment that includes automobiles,
telecom, education, banking, insurance, credit cards, FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods),
apparel/clothing, durables, media, business services and tourism. Out of these , it is estimated that
the banking, FMCG and insurance sectors together account for 45% of the total advertising spend.
In comparison to this, automotive, travel and retail spend 37% of the total advertising revenue and
financial service companies spend 12% only. Some of the top spenders in India are automobiles,
followed by brands like Pepsodent, Kelloggs, Cadbury, HDFC (Housing Development Finance
Corporation Ltd.) loans and Sunsilk. In addition to these the earlyadopters in the field of finance
and IT are also increasing their spending. Globally, the trend is that almost 60% of the revenue
goes to five firms- Goggle, Yahoo, Microsoft, AOL(America Online Launchers), and Overture.
Approximately, 90% of the Goggle revenues come from advertising. In India, portals like
indiatimes.com, exchange4media.com, rediffmail.com, agencyfaqs.com etc are attracting major
online spender.

This article explains demographic profile of Indian users. It also gives the comparison between
global trend and Indian trend, which is useful for my research work.
3. Sumanjeet37 has published article on “On Line Banner Advertising”- in
Indian Journal of Marketing.
Online banner advertising has great potential as an advertising medium. It is easy to create, place
and use. It offers companies targeting well educated, innovative, affluent males/females or students
with great potential for success as their segments are highly represented.
4. Advertising in socialmedia: How consumers act after seeing socialads.
Adapted from Nielsen(2012:10).
Social media has not only changed how people communicate online, but it has also changed the
consumption of other media too. Online social connections are used to filter, discuss, disseminate,
and validate news, entertainment, and products for consumption. (Ryan 2011: 15) The next
chapters will explain more about each of the world’s current most widely used social media. There
are, of course, many other social networks and applications (apps) available but considering the
study, the focus is on the main media.

Digital vs. Traditional Media
Through Digital Marketing…. “Brands can now be direct sellers, content producers, bloggers, tweeters
and even friends without having to rely on media to deliver those messages. Consumers can seek out

(SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING)
Social media marketing is the process of gaining website traffic or attention through social
media sites.
Social media marketing programs usually center on efforts to create content that attracts attention
and encourages readers to share it across their social networks. The resulting electronic
Word of mouth (eWoM) refers to any statement consumers share via the Internet (e.g., web sites,
social networks, instant messages, news feeds) about an event, product, service, brand or
company. When the underlying message spreads from user to user and presumably resonates
because it appears to come from a trusted, third-party source, as opposed to the brand or
company itself, this form of marketing results in earned media rather than paid media.

Facebook marketing
Facebook is the world's most popular social network for both businesses and individuals. With
over one billion users, your friends and fans are likely already using the platform -- and you should
be too!
In fact, people are 51% more likely to make a purchase after "liking" a brand on Facebook.
Face book marketing requires a good intellects and unique thinking to make the campaign
effective.
So what we have today!!!!
In face book marketing in fact in visual /web marketing your content speaks a loud that is why
make sure your content should be relevant to your audience and business.

Twitter marketing
Twitter’s flexible, real-time platform allows you to get creative and drive results at the same time.
Whether you’re looking to drive sales, increase brand awareness or launch a product.
Twitter marketing is not much popular than face book but still it has an impact on audience.
The very first thing in twitter marketing you need to understand and learn the twitter terminologies
well.
1.HASHTAG
A hashtag is any word beginning with the # sign. People use hashtags to organize conversations
around a specific topic. Clicking on a hashtag takes you to search results for that term.
2.MENTION
Sometimes you want to bring a Tweet to someone’s attention, but you still want all of your
followers to see the message. So instead of a reply, use a mention. Include the @username of
whomever you want to mention in your Tweet, and it will appear in the Mentions section (in the
Connect tab). All @username mentions are clickable and link back to the mentioned individual’s
profile.
30. Page | 30
3. REPLY
You can respond to a Tweet by hitting the reply button. When you reply, your response is public,
and will show up in your home timeline and the timeline of the person to whom you are responding.
The reply will also be visible in the home timelines of people who follow both you and the person
to whom you sent the reply. Meaning, someone not in the conversation has to follow both of the
people replying to be able to read both sides of the conversation.
4. RETWEET
You can pass along someone’s Tweet by retweeting. Just hit the retweet button to send the original
message to all of your followers.
5. LINKS
Twitter’s link- shortening feature allows you to paste a link of any length into the Tweet box and
it will automatically be shortened to 19 characters. This makes it easier to fit long URLs into the
140 character limit.
6. FAVOURITE
You can favorite the tweet for future reference. This is just like an archiving something that’s
really interesting to you.
7. DM (direct message)
You can send private messages to someone, just like an email. For DM, sender and receiver should
be following each other.

Linked in Marketing
LinkedIn is the world's largest social network for professionals. With over 161 million registered
users in more than 200 countries, more than two million companies have created LinkedIn
Company Pages to vie for their attention. If you are in B2B business this platform is very useful
for you to connect with company’s directors and marketing person.
You tube
YouTube is a video Social Networking site, and the 2nd most popular search site on the Internet
after Google, who owns YouTube. YouTube video watching is a significant activity on the
Internet, with over 1 billion visits to YourTube daily and over 100 million videos watched daily.
And it's easy for anyone who sees your video to rate it and share it with his Social Network.
32. Page | 32
Google +
Google has described Google+ as a "social layer" that enhances many of its online properties, and
that it is not simply a social networking website, but also an authorship tool that associates web-
content directly with its owner/author. It is the second-largest social networking site in the world
after Facebook. 540 million monthly active users are part of the Identity service site, by interacting
socially with Google+'s enhanced properties, like Gmail, +1 button, and YouTube comments..In
October 2013, Google counted 540 million active users who used at least one Google+ service, of
which 300 million users are active in "the stream".

DIGITAL MARKETING STRATEGY
PROCESS1 – MARKET ANALYSIS AMD MARKET RESEARCH
Market research is any organized effort to gather information about target markets or customers.
It is a very important component of business strategy.
The first step of business development process is to know your target audience well before
approaching them. The main objective behind the market analysis and research of target audience
is to know their online presence and how active they are on web. Market research also helps to
estimate the online marketing opportunities of different sectors over the periods. The intense
research is required while studying the online habits of different sectors keeping competitors in

Market Research includes research about the different sectors. Currently we are targeting on
Travel, Real Estate Sector, Education sectors, Fitness, jeweler in Pune. It includes study of digital
habits of the target sector, their online presence, their online need, etc.
PROCESS 2 – DATABASE CREATION OF CLIENTS
The second step is database creation; once the market is analyzed the database of sector is created
for a company treasure for future.
Database creation includes recording the details of the clients like company details, their online
presence, concerned person from marketing department and their contact details.
During my internship I have created almost six different sectors database as company wants to
target different sectors for exploring themselves.
PROCESS3 – COLD CALLING
Cold calling is the sales process of approaching prospective customers or clients—typically via
telephone, by email or through making a connection on a social network—who were not expecting
such an interaction. The word "cold" is used because the person receiving the call is not expecting
a call or has not specifically asked to be contacted by a sales person. A cold call is usually the start
of a sales process generally known as telemarketing.
The next step is cold calling. It includes contacting the concerned person, explaining him/her in
brief about the organization, conveying that person how digital marketing is helpful for their
organization to achieve online presence, traffic, leads and branding.
39. Page | 39
My company guide shared a call script with me and also explained me how to talk, what to talk,
the way we should talk to concern person. He also explains how to get a concern person number
(director or marketing person) from the office people.
The main objective of cold calling is to fix the maximum meetings with a concern person so that
further points can be discussed in detail with them.
Cold calling is a first interaction with a concern person and everyone knows first impression is a
last impression. He taught me the way how first impression is made.
During my internship total numbers of calls made by me was 82, calls to real estate sector and
fitness sector.
41. Page | 41
PROCESS4 – FIXING MEETINGS
The next step is fixing meeting, it stage little critical for a startup, convincing the clients and ask
them to meet you is biggest challenge, But that’s a feel of work. Talking to different people of
different traits was a good experience and successfully fixes the 8 meetings out of which 3 was
attended by meand 1 was converted.
Actual meeting gave you the reality check where you are when your clients know everything,
shoots the too many questions and ask you how you are better than other. At that time you
understand the difference between the dorm rooms to the boardroom.
42. Page | 42
PROCESS5 – PROPOSALMAKING
The fifth step is proposal making once meeting is done with a concern person where the various
aspects has been discussed already, and the client requirement can known accordingly the proposal
is made for them enlisting all his requirement related to digital marketing. Proposal includes
following details:
a) Services needed by the client. These services include SEO, SEM, SMM, ODA, ORM, etc
b) Proper segmentation and targeting according to sector. Eg. If an MBA Education Institute
wants digital marketing services for branding, promotion and lead generation, then our
target market would be, students who have completed their graduation and professionals
with 2-3 years of experience who can opt for Executive MBA.
c) Detailed explanation of how we will be providing them each service.
d) It also includes the pricing details of the services.

Expanding ad - An expanding ad is a rich media frame ad that changes dimensions upon a
predefined condition, such as a preset amount of time a visitor spends on a webpage, the user's
click on the ad, or the user's mouse movement over the ad. Expanding ads allow advertisers to fit

Interstitial ad -An interstitial ad displays before a user can access requested content,
sometimes while the user is waiting for the content to load. Interstitial ads are a form of
interruption marketing. Text ads - A text ad displays text-based hyperlinks.
Text-based ads may display separately from a web page's primary content, or they can be

SearchEngine Marketing (SEM) - Search Engine Marketing, or SEM, is designed to
increase a website's visibility in search engine results pages (SERPs). Search engines provide
sponsored results and organic (non-sponsored) results based on a web searcher's query. Search

engine marketing includes all of an advertiser's actions to make a website's listing more
prominent for topical keywords.
SearchEngine Optimization (SEO) -Search Engine Optimization, or SEO, attempts to
improve a website's organic search rankings in SERPs by increasing the website content's
relevance to search terms. Search engines regularly update their algorithms to penalize poor
quality sites that try to game their rankings, making optimization a moving target for advertisers.
Many vendors offer SEO services. Sponsored search - Sponsored search (also called sponsored
links or search ads) allows advertisers to be included in the sponsored results of a search for
selected keywords. Search ads are often sold via real-time auctions, where advertisers bid on
keywords.

through social media websites. Many companies promote their products by posting frequent
updates and providing special offers through their social media profiles.

the form of static or rich media display ads, SMS (Short Message Service) or MMS (Multimedia
Messaging Service) ads, mobile search ads, advertising within mobile websites, or ads within
mobile applications or games (such as interstitial ads, “advergaming,” or application
sponsorship).
Email Advertising- Email advertising is ad copy comprising an entire email or a portion of
an email message. Email marketing may be unsolicited, in which case the sender may give the
recipient an option to opt-out of future emails, or it may be sent with the recipient's prior consent
(opt-in).

couple of billion people around the world use the Internet, and more are becoming aware of
Internet with each passing day. So, marketing your business to such a large group of people is
only possible through Internet.
Internet is the only medium that is able to cross geographic and national boundaries.
The cost of promoting your business on the Internet is cheaper than other mediums of marketing. This
makes it easy for small and mid-sized businesses to advertise their products.
Internet allows the ability to stay connected with customers on a real-time basis. If any discount going
on, then it is easier to send an email to customers and they can buy the product instantly. Internet also
allows to send multiple messages at the same time, which saves the tedious task of sending a newsletter to
every client.
Internet marketing facilitates an instant feedback from the customers. Customers can share about their
experience after using the product
. Internet marketing saves a lot of time and effort. Instead of having a customer service representative to
answer the queries of customers, one can put all the information about the product or service on the
Internet so that customers can go through it. The most common way of doing it is to have a section
dedicated to frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the product so that customers get all the required
information about the product or the service.
Internet marketing allows your business to be available 24/7, which means increased sales and profits.

Limitations of Online marketing
Although, Internet marketing allows a wider reach,the start-up costs of a website can be high. This
includes the cost of the required software and hardware,and maintenance costs.
There are still a lot of customers who use the Internet just for having more information about a product
and prefer to buy it in person. For example, xx Internet marketing allows a customer to view how a phone
looks like and its technical specifications, but customers prefer having a look at the phone in the store to
get a hands-on experience.
There are a lot of customers who are not proficient in using the Internet and focusing solely on Internet
marketing can cause you to lose these customers.
The rules of the trade change rapidly in Internet marketing, and it requires constant attention and
monitoring to ensure that your marketing strategy does not look out-of-date.
The biggest disadvantage of Internet marketing is its vulnerability to fraudulent activities. There are a
lot of illegitimate websites out there which look similar to original websites and rob the customers of their
money. Spamming is also one of the biggest challenges for Internet marketing and confidential data can
be easily stolen by hackers.
Internet marketing lacks the human touch that is involved when a customer buys a product from a
salesperson. This hampers the prospects of relationship building which plays an important part in repeat
sales and word-of mouth publicity.
Internet marketing depends heavily on technology, which is vulnerable to technical faults. For example,
if a customer clicks on your advertisement but due to a technical glitch, is unable to buy the product, he
may easily become irate and take his business somewhere else.
Although, there are some challenges involved in Internet marketing, it can be safely said that Internet
marketing has led to increased transparency and ease of buying products. The need of the hour is to
counter the challenges so that Internet marketing proves to be truly beneficial for all.
