London, United Kingdom

Advertising of any sort can be placed on the portal in almost a few seconds. Users have the ability to add various categories and thus give the advertising more relevance to a particular category or field.

The portal uses advanced programming tools and incorporates user-friendly search and browse functions and enhanced viewing experience.

By using the searchwordsÔ search tool, its search engine is able to pinpoint advertising or news articles that are particularly relevant or, for example, jobs to which an individual user would be especially well-suited.

Online Marketing and Offline Marketing Strategy in B2b Portal

Online Marketing and Offline Marketing Strategy in B2b Portal

If Business is to profit, then Marketing is to business. Since, without marketing, business is not possible whether it is done in any form. Even traditional business had some marketing tactics, be it delivery unto buyer place or flexibility in payment terms. Ultimately, what can turn on more business is often considered as marketing and its implementation after analysis of the situations from time to time can be termed as strategy. I often found, when you say strategy, people nod their head but when it comes to know what is strategy they loose the color of their face.

Strategy is a factor which construes marketing and marketing runs on strategy. What RCC beams are to a building  in the same manner strategy is for marketing .if one claims to be doing marketing without strategy then he may be fooling himself and more to others as without strategy in any manner , marketing is not possible.
The very next thing which comes is how to make strategies for marketing the product?

Before that, let us take some pain to understand what exactly is strategy. Strategy is nothing but understanding the basics of positioning a product, features and potential of product, strength and weakness of products, timely review of planning’s etc and then analyzing it to conclude with some parameters for selling the same product with respect to different zones and geographical areas, this result into strategy. Isn’t it very simple. If one makes simple strategy, he makes simple way to success in business.
After Strategy, What Next?

Then comes the real marketing play. Again, it is followed by another question how to and what can be the modes of marketing.
Lets us see which mode is required, when marketing modes option comes to be chosen for business:

Whether Online Marketing?
Whether Offline Marketing?

Before, discussing about advantages and dis-advantages as well as requirement of online marketing, let’s see the modes and strategies of offline marketing.

a. Direct Marketing
b. Telemarketing
c. Advertisement in TV
d. Campaign based advertisement in Radio.
e. Advertisement in public places, public transportation
f. Participation in Exhibitions & Trade Shows
g. Door to Door Marketing
h. Promotional campaigns
i. Discounts and offers
j. Referral Marketing
k. Public Relations
l. Print Media
M. sponsoring some events, sports etc.

The list can have much more to it, but the aforesaid are considered to be the prominent amongst any other options possible or available for any person.
So, after doing, still one requires any other mode of marketing, before we make a hasty decision, what if some online marketing options are just explored:

a. Contacting and Responding through Mail
B. Advertisement in Google, Yahoo
C. Advertisement through Ad brite
D. Advertisement in Blogs
E. Advertisement in most popular sites and portals
f. Article Marketing
g. Affiliate Marketing
h. Online Viral Marketing
i. Email Marketing
j. Activities in Forum & Social bookmarking
K. Linking with quality sites
l. Banner Exchange
m. Search Engine Optimization via Search Engine Marketing (SEM)

Many more to be added, even in this sphere alone.
After referring to all, do you feel one is required and sufficient and if one is, then which one .Then I must answer that absolutely NOT, one cannot be a substitute for other, but both are required.
Because, Offline, marketing is very well known potential mode of marketing and will always be required but at the same only offline marketing will not do justice to your marketing, still don’t believe, then just check the truth as stated below:

a) Round the globe more than 50% business is carried out and communicated through mails which is online mode.
b) Corporates, SMEs, MNC all are dependant upon mail for communication.
c) Young generation is net savvy.
d) People are dependant upon websites to fulfill their basic necessities be it
1) jobs, 
2) accommodation,
3) buying and  selling
4) marriage
5) chatting
6) communication
7) outsourcing work
8) filing tax returns
9) gathering any information etc
10) on an average more than 50% business man and involved in international trade use B2b Portals to effect the business .
If this is the some eye opening facts , can still one keep away from online marketing ………….Now You Decide !

What is a Web Portal?

Author admin    Category Website Tips     Tags

What is a Web Portal?

The non-local networks were been first used by the “Advanced Research Projects Agency” of Pentagon (the defense ministry of the state) in 1960.

By designing the network, the main goal was to connect each computer to two other stations, so the sent packet messages could be transmitted in

various ways. After a few times, this network changed gradually and shaped a new means that was the modern Internet.

At that time, there was nobody to believe that the whole network will be grew too quickly to be moderated that difficult and there is a necessary need to specialist and expert managers. The most important reason was the free space on the web!

But today, the “World Wide Web” theory is making all the users feel free to access the Internet without the requirement of technical information. In the other word, a complicated mission with an easy usability that makes the user mixed up between “Web” and “Internet” as two separated means.

The essential goal of “WWW” theory was the easy and simple access to online content and services by using a specified application with special capabilities. So the production of these applications was a great step toward online utopia and classification of services and context on the net.

The enhancement of Internet and web-based services is occurring too quickly that it is impossible for everyone to remember even the one tenth of current active website names because he have to remember daily more than 20,000 new domain names.

The ease of use and friendly application environment are the best reasons for each user to take part in using the network services. So it is not logical to expect a user to try surfing hundreds of websites to access various and different services or register for divers providers and be concerned about saving the privacy information of each registration.

So the web, reached to an unwanted new level that is called to be “Web Portal” era.

So I think that if we desire to result a new declaration of “web portal”, we have to translate it, word by word.

We are almost acquainted with the specified definitions of web and we know that web is a simple way to access virtual and cyber content or services.

But the question is the portal. When we talk about portal, we mean to a cyber gateway or doorway. In the other word, portals are trying to get advantages from numerous related websites and take them together in a unit place. A unit place that is implemented to provide the daily needed content and services and prevent the diffusion of content.

So from this definition we can understand that web portal is not a special product, but has a standard personality and nature that is being made by two structural concepts: Services and contents.

The definition above would make the common and inexpert user to get mixed up that every “links page” or each multi-usage website could be named as a portal that facilitates the access to other websites, but with regard to the main definition, we can claim that it is not correct at all to call the hyperlinks collection and site directories as web portals because the web portals have a known personality with the possibility of servicing and providing the desired content to their users.

The base goal of web portals is to categorize the information and making the access to them, easier than before. This could helps to prevent the user to be strayed and the information to be lost. This could be possible through accessing to portals by creating a digital identification and gathering a personal profile.

Most of web portals are common and joint in some items containing:

1- The variety of services

2- Rising funds and business plans

3- The way of user access to information

4- The way of service providing

5- The spread provide of information

These simple but vital items are the basic structures of web portals growth and activation that could results to a rough and interesting competition among portals.

The variety of portal services is much different in compare with a website that is working in a special and professional field. Due to the limitations of common websites to engage in various and different fields and issues, we can observe that the indoor workgroups of such websites are very smaller than web portals those have to share their attention in many directions and issues.

Below are the most important services, hosted by portals:

· Search engine

· Email services

· Free space and weblog hosting

· Information provide and advertising

· News

· Hot downloads

· Chat and messaging

But such web portals are trying hard to bring new innovations and provide modern services in order to avoid the user to be bothered and also to interest some new users and consumers.

To not lose the great amount of customers and users, web portals are trying to offer their main and domestic services for free so the chance of victory in the competition field with all the opponents will increases.

One of the other properties of web portals is the way of its services managing by the user. There is a single and unit way for user to access all the services such as blog service, radioblog, mail and chat, online shopping etc and that is his personal ID and Password.

It will prevent the user to create and save numerous Ids and remember all the security information for each of them and reduces the bothering among various cookies, cache files and security items.

But lets state that all the web portals that offer their services for paid types would fail strongly.

Also, the indirect access to Internet services is one of the great concerns of each 21st century user. One of the main duties of each web portal is to provide the user with wide-area and remote services such as SMS-2-Email and other mobility engines.

If all the preliminaries are provided, so we can say that our web portal is reached to the productivity level and we can take advantages of it. But the lack of financial programming and economic reasoning in a scientific way would threaten the whole life of the project.

With regard to the definitions above, it occurs a common and general question. How a web portal reaches to productivity? If all the services such as emailing, web-based search, news groups, radio and instant messaging are free so how it could be beneficial and financially useful to us as the owners of project?

But the answer is so simple. Web portals are in a straight relation with e-commerce techniques. So the return of net income and productivity is gained through electronic commerce.

But the make the issue clearer, lets define E-commerce once forever. E-commerce is the interchange of products and services with money by using the abilities of network!

It means that E-commerce equals the notification, advertisement, communication and exchange through the electronic and online data processing. The good examples for common e-commerce today are the online stores and e-shops.

It is a gross diplomacy for portal owners to upgrade their visitors and users amount by offering popular and favorite services and meet the financial needs and inquiries by gathering good advertisement from predominant companies and well-known brands.

Many think that portals are subcategorized into two columns: General portals and specialized portals. And it results the portals to be grouped into horizontal portals level and vertical portals level. But I think that it is not a correct arrangement and would make mistakes in specifying. Many other think that portals are divided into the groups of applied portals and informative portals. But it seems to be incorrect too, because the nature of portal demands on the brining information and services mixed together.

In the other hand, some others think that portals are divided into these categories:

· Business to customer portals (B2C)

· Business to business portals (B2B)

· Business to employer portals (B2E)

· Public portals

B2C ones are the most common portals with the feature of products and services exchange among users and companies. But the B2B portal is only limited to the inter-companies exchange.

In fact with such categorization, we defined a property and ability for few times and expanded the circle without any reason. We forgot that it is possible to have a more abstract and useful categorization.

Imagine that you are on of photo.net users. One of the most incompatible picture resources with the educative courses and being updated daily by thousands of users.

Now the site owners decided to offer the users with the free mailbox services. What is the accounting warranty for this offer?

Remember that the mailbox is just given to them who use and subscribe photo.net frequently and affect the progress and enhancement of it. By being the user disconnected to site, there is no value mentioned for him and his personal profile in the site.

The structure of portal is also considered in one of these items:

· Type of programming

· Type of project management

· Type of financial accounting of the site

The necessity of structure’s definition is preventing the occurrence of probably mistakes, high security provide and economic thriftiness.

There is not any single and unit building structure for all of web portals and it must be defined based on the cultural, financial and geographical conditions. So the portal’s structure is the presentation of it that provides us with the basic information about the configuration and management of project. These presentations are divided into two groups:

· Administrative management

· Customer management

The type of project management and used standards are the basic fundaments of portal. These standards are in a full-time interacting with together and breaking the rules and laws would damages whole the structure and bases intentionally.

There is new kid in school, his name is CampusLIVE, and wants to act as every college kid’s 24/7 RA (Resident Assistant) by providing all the information you need to know as a student on campus.

The new social community website aggregates information a college kid needs to know. Besides the usual, like weather, there are customized news feeds (CNN, Boston Globe, Philly.com, Fox News, MSNBC, and even Playboy, and much more), customized search feeds; that include Google, YouTube, Wikipedia, Amazon, Flickr, Technorati and much more. In addition, each school’s page has ‘quick links’ that feature necessary housing and health information, local public transportation schedules, dining services, registrar information, library, academic calendars and more.

They also feature a great Food Finder feature that allows students to find local eateries, their contact information, whether they offer dine-in, delivery and take-out options, and they offer online menus for each in their system, as well as the ability to leave public reviews for each.

CampusLIVE also understands the need for a college kid to know what is on TV at all times – therefore implementing the ability to find TV listings using the TVGuide.com system.

One thing you might think after reading the above would be ‘another Facebook’, but they aren’t.  Actually, they have gone as far to integrate with Facebook so that students can actually see their live Facebook messages from their homepage.  They also have plans to tie in other social networks that are popular to students such as LinkedIn, MySpace, and I assume Twitter, Digg, and maybe a few others might join the force @ some point.

CampusLIVE started in UMass and has grown to cover 26 universities in nine states. They are doing well – in terms of providing useful information for students, and in a concise and clear manner. However, they need to focus their growth overall, in terms of adding more schools, and integrating more customizable features that will allow students not only have access to useful information, but also build a virtual dorm room. So for each school, they can go beyond just providing a portal for useful information, but access to teachers, other students, virtual blackboards, and so on.

CampusLIVE was started by a group of UMass students, and finished in the top 5 of Business Week’s Top 25 Entrepreneurs Under 25 in America 08?. CampusLIVE employs five full-time people, and interns, and had just over $100,000 in revenue during 2007. The company is currently negotiating a $1.25 million investment deal, according to Business Week. They are also looking to lease office space in Boston, moving themselves into an office and out of the dorms.

 

Thoughts.

I love their business model and opportunity to strike while the iron is hot, so to speak.  I just hope they do it now, and push aggressively – as you never know what the landscape for a model like this might look like in a year.

They need to build up their school database offering – at the same time, it opens up a huge door for advertising opportunities, which they must take advantage of – especially if they have angel investors now involved. You don’t want to have to carry their weight for too long, and obviously wish to become profitable in the next three years in a major way.

They have a great platform here to also explore partnerships of all kinds; building on all the above – sets themselves up nicely for an aggressive business build – before ’selling’ to a top organization, i.e. Google, Yahoo, etc…in five years or so.

B2B e-Marketplace Portal and Social Media Network

The  B2B e-Marketplace comprise of large amount of B2B traders or marketers. They inquire,  buy and  sell daily on the platform. However there is more than just buying and selling on the platform. For example, how the buyers can get the suppliers those who understand their appetites and personalities in addition to the product’s specification or payment terms. So the social media network is a supplement to bridge this gap. Although the viral marketing and social media are quite popular now, most of them are limited to B2B marketing or message posting.  

Turn the Buzz Words to Real Business

We hear a lot of buzz words like “B2B”, “social media network”, “internet marketing”, “viral marketing”, and etc. B2B e-Marketplace is definitely separated from social media network. However the internet traders are using both to sell and trade. I believe if combining B2B e-Marketplace and social media network, the new selling power will be generated and more reliable business network will be established.

In social media network, we learn the background of the person you are dealing with in the business, including his education, the positions he held before, experience, interest, his group, daily activities, and etc. In B2B marketplace, we know what he is selling or buying, his products’ information, his dealing records (enquires, invoices, and etc). If both are integrated, we can see the whole picture of the person you are dealing with. As an Internet trader, I am sure you not only want to know the company introduction and product specification. You also intend to understand his all details. If you can do that, more reliable and securer business partnership can be built through restrict selection of business partners.  

The communication on activities update is another weakness of B2B portal. In tradition, you might contact your business partner occasionally or when you do the business with him. If he can publish the authenticated message or daily activities online, you will get those updates almost real-time. It will be helpful to both parties and let the people in his group know the updates. For example, he will take 3-week off for holidays in Caribbean Sea. He just places this update online and all people in the group will know it. So you or any people can do the same thing through social media network.

 

What If the Other Business Persons I Really Want to Know

For more B2B Portal you can send the message directly to the person or company you really want to know and wait for their reply. So all others business people to you like strangers. In social media network, you can join any group. You can get introduced to a stranger through the personal you know already. You can also write your proper introduction and profiles and let other people stick to you.

Conclusion

It would be a new bomb if B2B e-Marketplace portal and social media network are successfully integrated. The  EasyTrade.com promises to develop the B2B e-Marketplace Portal in many new rooms and brings wonderful experience to our members.
