Thus, by doing so Tesco is selling its products in innovative way in comparison to rivals.

Traditional marketing means the customer was pulled by the host with the help of communication skills. But now the communication with the customers has done by the help of electronic media. The internet and extra-net is the example of electronic digital media which can be used by the Smart Restoration Limited to communicate with their customers and clients(Taylor and Strutton, 2010).

TASK 4

Cost, time, method, availability, simplicity, and so many other things, all these things have to be mentioned in the internet marketing plan. The campaign of marketing which is planned, the coordination of such plan is not that much hard. The changes in that plan can be done at any time due to its flexibility.

1. Customer’s definition- The target customers should be decided by the company. Only the outline policy can be made if their have attention on their target customers. The requirement should be fulfil for both customers either it is male or female. The season in which the customers buys more furniture. Which kind of wood they would like to have.

Making the services fast and easy- The delivery of the furniture should be on time and with complete protection of it(Gilmore and Erdem, 2011). The orders which are placed from the website or the mobile application should get the fast service.

4.2 Poster presentation on pay per click advertising

Pay per click is another method of marketing and under this method individual have an account on the specific website and same have to view some advertisements for a few minutes. For doing so one is paid by the business firm. This is another approach that is used by the firms apart from traditional channel of communication. In this one receive money for viewing an advertisement and this acts as motivating factor for them. By following this approach firm attract attention of people towards its brand name and promote positive word of mouth marketing among the people. Thus, it can be said that pay per click have due importance for the business firms. However, there are some limitations of the pay per click method (Fagerstrøm and Ghinea, 2010). This is because people does not give much attention to many advertisement. On passage of certain time period they simply press a button and view next advisement. Hence, desired results cannot be fully obtained by the firm from pay per click method. Secondly, advertisements are not segregate nation wise. Means that someone is setting in India and viewing advertisement of the firm which entirely operating only in USA. In such a situation viewing of advertisement by an individual person proved useless for the business firm. Thus, it can be said that there are so many limitations of the PPC
