According to denow.com the definition of Internet
marketing is: “The use of the Internet to advertise and
sell merchandise or services.
This involves use of Web sites and e-mail to inform
customers about a product, solicit their questions, and
accept their orders directly through the electronic
medium.”
According to the dictionary, ‘Internet’ is defined as: “an
electronic communications network that connects
computer networks and organizational computer
facilities around the world” and ‘Marketing’ is defined as
‘selling’.
So, if the two definitions are combined, you get
“Selling using an electronic communications network that
connects computer networks and organizational computer
facilities around the world.”
That about sums it up.
The term ‘Internet Marketing’ covers an array of different
methods of selling products and services that are
delivered electronically or by freight.
The list of things that can be sold on the Internet is
basically the same list as things that can be sold in
the brick and mortar world.
Selling things in the real world means that the customer
contacts the seller by going into his place of business or
by phone.
Real world merchandize is always delivered physically.
In the world of Internet Marketing products can be
physically delivered, of course, but many things that
are sold on the Internet can be delivered electronically,
as well.
Some things sold through Internet marketing can be
delivered either physically or electronically. For
example:
Information is available in the form of e-books and sound and video
files that can be downloaded directly from the site that
is selling them but they can also usually be ordered in a
hard copy form and physically delivered to the buyer.
The term, “Internet Marketing’ covers a wide
variety of products and services and the possibilities
seem to be endless.
