Digital Marketing environment
 Situation analysis: Collection and review of information about an organisation’s

internal processes and resources and external marketplace factors in order to inform
strategy definition.
 Micro environment: The players (actors) and their interactions, which influence how
an organisation responds in its marketplace.
 Macro environment: Broad forces affecting all organisations in the marketplace,
including social, technological, economic, political, legal and ecological influences.
 Online market ecosystem: Interactions between different online systems related to a
specific hardware or software technology, which may be independent or developed
by a particular brand.
Strategic agility
 Strategic agility: The capability to innovate and so gain competitive advantage within a marketplace
by monitoring changes within an organisation’s marketplace, and then efficiently evaluating
alternative strategies, selecting, reviewing and implementing appropriate candidate strategies.
 Strategic agility involves:
 collection, dissemination and evaluation of different information sources from the micro- and macro-
environment;
 developing processes for generating and reviewing the relevance of new strategies based on creating new
value for customers;
 research into potential customer value against the business value generated; implementation of prototypes
of new functionality to deliver customer value;
 measurement and review of results from prototypes to revise further to improve propositions or to end a
trial.

Customer analysis
 To help understand customers’ interactions with physical and digital touchpoints,

triggers and influences, journey maps can be used to summarise the behaviour of
different types of target audiences.
Figure: Customer journey map

Online marketplace map
 Online marketplace map: summarises how target customer segments might

be influenced by different types of digital sites.
 The main elements of the online marketplace map:
 Customer segments
 Search intermediaries
 Intermediaries, influencers and media or publisher sites
 Destination sites and platforms
Figure: Online marketplace map

Concepts in online marketplace map
 Share of search
 An evaluation of the proportion of website visits from organic and paid search that a
brand attracts for a defined set of target search terms used by an audience searching for a
market category of product, service or other information.
 A search gap analysis can be performed to assess potential visits from consumer search
intent against actual visits achieved through SEO and pay-per-click activities
 Aggregators
 An alternative term to price-comparison sites. Aggregators include product, price and
service information, comparing competitors within a sector such as financial services,
retail or travel. Their revenue models commonly include affiliate revenues (CPA), pay-per-
click advertising (PPC) and display advertising (CPM).
Concepts in online marketplace map
 Affiliates
 Companies promoting a merchant, typically through a commission- based arrangement
either direct or through an affiliate network.
 Key online influencers

 Celebrities, individuals well known in their niche, or publishers to whom an online target
audience listens and interacts with. Online influencer outreach or ‘blogger outreach’ can
help companies reach and engage a wider audience. Recently, video bloggers (‘vloggers’
or ‘YouTubers’) have become popular among teenage audiences.
Customer analysis
 Customer behaviour analysis

 In digital markets, this type of analysis involves research into the motivations, media
consumption preferences and selection processes used by consumers as they use
digital channels together with traditional channels to purchase online products and
use other online services.
 Customer insight
 Knowledge about customers’ needs, profile, preferences and digital experiences from
analysis of qualitative and quantitative data. Specific insights can be used to inform
marketing tactics directed at groups of customers with shared characteristics.
Customer analysis
 Customer behaviour analysis: can be considered from 2 perspectives

 Demand and gap analysis: the potential online reach against impressions, volume of visitors to
an online presence and the extent to which prospects convert to tactical and strategic outcomes,
e.g. lead generation and sales.
 Digital consumer behaviour: the needs, characteristics and digital experiences or behaviours of
target consumers.
 Customer characteristic analysis:

 Includes: demographic, psychological and behavioral characteristics
 Customer personas
 The buying process

Customer analysis
Demand analysis:
 Quantitative determination of the potential use and business value from online
customers of an organisation. Qualitative analysis of perceptions of online channels is
also assessed.
 To assess the volume and share of customers who:
• are ‘in market’ for a service, i.e. they have intent to use it;
• have access to the digital channel;
• use specific online services that may affect the purchase decision, such as price comparison sites,
social networks and specialist blogs;
• are influenced by using the digital channel but purchase using another channel as part of the
multichannel buyer behaviour;
• purchase or use other services using the digital channel.
Customer analysis
 Conversion marketing: Using marketing communications to maximise conversion of

potential customers to actual customers.
Model showing conversion between the digital channel and traditional channels during the buying process
Customer analysis
Digital consumer behaviour:

 Customer choice and digital influence: the web and social media are
 a vital part of the research process, as internet users now spend longer researching
products online;
 used at every stage of the research process from the initial scan to the more detailed
comparison and final checking of specifications before purchase.
 ZMOT model
Customer analysis
Customer characteristics:
 Demographic characteristics
 Psychological and behavioral characteristics
 Concepts that can positively or negatively influence or motivate the consumer to engage with a
digital offer:
 Information processing (IP).
 Perceived ease of use.
 Perceived usefulness
 Perceived benefits
 Perceived control
 Skills
 Trust and risk
 Enjoyment

 bargaining power of suppliers;
 threat of substitute products and services;
 threat of new entrants;
 intensity of rivalry.

Competitor analysis (cont.)
Competitor Benchmarking:
 Based on a systematic comparison, with specific criteria (KPI/metrics) of digital marketing

approaches of competitors in the market.
 Implemented continuously and regularly
 Helps assess threats from products/services that competitorss are providing, identifying
opportunities for businesses to improve their own digital services
 Do not evaluate based on whether or not a criterion/feature is present, but based on accessibility or
usefulness (with a specific scale).
Competitor analysis (cont.)
Benchmarking: Different perspectives serving different purposes:

1. Internal capabilities: such as resourcing, structure, and processes vs external customer-facing features of the sites.
2 Different aspects of the customer lifecycle: customer acquisition, and conversion to retention.
e.g. reviewing their presence in the paid and natural listings of the search engines
3 Qualitative to quantitative: from qualitative assessments by customers through surveys and focus groups through to
quantitative analysis by independent auditors of data across customer acquisition
e.g. number of site visitors or reach within market, cost of acquisition, number of customers, sales volumes and
revenues and market share); conversion and retention such as repeat conversion and number of active customers.
4 In-sector and out-of-sector: benchmarking against similar sites within sector and reviewing out-of-sector to sectors such as
online publishers, social networks, and brand sites.
e.g: the expert evaluation: the suitability of the site for different audiences; measures under the overall construction
(usability and accessibility), message (which covers key brand messages and suitability for international audiences) and contact’
5 Financial to non-financial measures: reviewing competitive intelligence sources such as company reports or tax submissions,
turnover and profit generated by digital channels; the company’s capability including resourcing, innovation and learning.
6 From user experience to expert evaluation.

Publishers, intermediaries and influencers
 Publisher: online publishers or media sites can provide different services for a business to
reach target audiences using the paid, owned and earned media::
 Paid media: many publishers belong to ad networks where they sell their ad inventory for
programmatic display advertising or via the Google Display Network and Facebook • Audience
Network, where they can be targeted based on content viewed or their profile.
 Owned media: publishers will also have their own social media platforms, which may give additional
opportunities to reach target audiences.
 Earned media: opportunities to publish native advertising, guides or guest blogs may also be
available.
Publishers, intermediaries and influencers (cont.)
 Intermediaries:
Firms that can help a company to promote, sell and distribute its products or services, for
example publisher or media sites, comparison sites, search engines, social networks and blogs.

The digital Macro-environment
Social, economic and political trends

Technological forces
 Focus on two practical considerations of digital technology :

 Having the technical knowledge marketers need when involved with creating a new web-
site, blog or social media page. This context may be required if you’re involved with a new
business or launching a new product or campaign.
 Awareness of different types of marketing technologies used to support always-on and
campaign-based digital marketing activities. These are sometimes referred to as a mar-
tech stack in larger organisations.
BM. QT bán hàng & Digital Marketing – Khoa Marketing – ĐH. KTQD Basic concepts in digital technology
Internet
The physical network that links computers across the globe. It consists
of the infrastructure of network servers and communication links between them that
are used to hold and transport the vast amount of information.
World Wide Web
A medium for publishing information and providing services on the internet. It is accessed
through web browsers, which display site content on different web pages. The content
making up websites is stored on web servers.
Web servers
Used to store the web pages accessed by web browsers. They may also link to databases
of customer or product information, which can be queried and retrieved using a browser.
Web browser
Browsers such as Google ChromeTM, Mozilla FirefoxTM, Apple Safari® and Microsoft EdgeTM
provide an easy method of accessing and viewing information stored as HTML web
documents on different web servers.
BM. QT bán hàng & Digital Marketing – Khoa Marketing – ĐH. KTQD Basic concepts in digital technology (cont.)
Software as a Service (SaaS)

Business applications
and software services are provided through internet and web protocols with the application
managed on a separate server,
from where it is accessed through a web browser on an end-user’s computer with data
stored within ‘the cloud’.
Content management system (CMS)
An online service or software tool for creating, editing and updating online content assets
such as text and visual content forming web or mobile app pages.
Streaming media server
A specialist server used to host broadcast audio (e.g. podcasts via Apple, Google Play,
Spotify or Soundcloud) or video (e.g. hosted on YouTube or Vimeo, or IPTV or webcast
presentations).
Uniform (universal) resource locator (URL)
A web address used to locate a specific web page on a web server.
BM. QT bán hàng & Digital Marketing – Khoa Marketing – ĐH. KTQD Basic concepts in digital technology (cont.)
URL strategy
A defined approach to forming URLs including the use of capitalisation, hyphenation and
sub- domains for different brands and different locations. This has implications for
promoting a website offline through promotional URLs, search engine optimisation and
findability.
Basic concepts in web standards
Content
The design, text and graphical information
that forms a web page. Good content is the key to attracting customers to a website and retaining their
interest or achieving repeat visits.
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)
A standard format used to define the text and layout of web pages rendered by web browsers.
Cascading style sheets (CSS)
A mechanism for
adding style (e.g.
fonts, backgrounds, colours, spacing) to
web documents, which
is independent of the content. CSS enable different style elements to be controlled across an entire site or
sections of a site. Style elements that are commonly controlled include typography, background colour and
images, and borders and margins. Responsive website design (RWD) for desktop and mobile can also be
supported.
Metadata
Literally, data about data – a format describing the structure and content of data.
XML (eXtensible Markup Language)
A standard for transferring structured data that, unlike HTML, is purely presentational.
Basic concepts in cyber security
Phishing
(Pronounced ‘fishing’)
is a specialised form of online identity theft. The most common form of ‘phishing’ is where a spam email is
sent out purporting to be from an organisation such as a bank or payment service.
Denial-of-service attack
Also known as a distributed denial-of- service (DDoS) attack, this involves a hacker group taking control of
many ‘zombie’ computers attached to the internet whose security has been compromised.
This ‘botnet’ is then used to make many requests to a target server, so overloading it and preventing
access to other visitors.
Botnet
Independent computers, connected to the internet, are used together, typically for malicious purposes
through controlling software.
For example, they may be used to send out spam or for a denial- of-service attack where they repeatedly
access a server to degrade its software. Computers are often infected nitially through a virus when
effective antivirus measures are not in place.
Basic concepts in blockchain
 Blockchain technology
A distributed ledger comprising batches of encrypted transaction records called blocks, which can
be secured over a peer-to-peer network such as the internet. The system is secure and transaction
history can’t be modified to provide an audit trail.
 Digital currency or cryptocurrency
A digital or virtual currency that is secured by cryptography, which makes it extremely difficult to
counterfeit or double-spend. Many cryptocurrencies are decentralised networks based on
blockchain technology.
Technological forces: Selecting a martech stack
Technological forces: Selecting a martech stack (cont.)
Potential common problems include:

 No long-term plan for martech.
 Insufficient rigour when evaluating martech.
 Technology solutions from different vendors aren’t integrated.
 Data are inconsistent.
 Customer journeys can’t be tracked across channels. New martech isn’t rolled
out with sufficient updates to training and process.
 Return on marketing technology isn’t reviewed.
Technological forces: Selecting a martech stack (cont.)
Facing a difficult decision as to:

 ignore the use of the technique completely, perhaps because it is felt to be too
expensive or untried, or because they simply don’t believe the benefits will
outweigh the costs;
 ignore the technique for now, but keep an eye on the results of other companies
that are starting to use it;
 evaluate the technique in a structured manner and then make a decision as to
whether to adopt it according to the evaluation;
 enthusiastically adopt the technique without a detailed evaluation, since the
hype alone convinces the manager that it should be adopted.
Different stages of a Gartner hype cycle

Alternative responses to changes in technology

Legal forces
 Digital marketers should be compliant with the law and adhere to ethical
standards but the rate of technological innovation is rapid and consequently the
law is often unclear.
 In this case, marketers need to tread carefully since unethical action can result in
serious damage to the reputation of a company and negative sentiment can
result in a reduction in online audience or sales.
 Consider:
• Data protection and privacy law
• Anti-spam legislation: spam, permission mkt, opt-in, opt-out, cold list, house list; cookies
• Disability and discrimination law
• Brand and trademark protection: domain registration; reputational damage by ads n PR; monitoring brand
conversations
• Intellectual property rights
• Online advertising law
Legal forces
Legal forces (cont.)
The main information types used by the digital marketer that are governed by ethics and
legislation are:
1 Contact information. This is the name, postal address, email address and, for B2B companies, website address.
2 Profile information. This is information about a customer’s characteristics that can be used for segmentation. It
includes age, sex and social group for consumers, and company characteristics and individual role for business
customers (see Chapter 6).
3 Platform usage information. Through web analytics systems it is possible to collect information on type of
computer, browser and screen resolution used by site users (see Chapter 7).
4 Behavioural information (on a single site). This is purchase history and the whole of the buying process. Web
analytics (Chapter 10) can be used to assess the web and email content accessed by individuals.
5 Behavioural information (across multiple sites). This can potentially show how a user accesses multiple sites
and responds to adverts across sites. Typically these data are collected and used through an anonymous profile
based on cookie or IP addresses, which are not related to an individual.
Legal forces: Types of information collected online and the related technologies
Legal forces (cont.)
Contract and distance-selling law

Distance-selling law
Legal requirements for providing information about the contractual agreement entered
into between a merchant and customer for providing goods and services, including
company information, pricing, additional costs and returns.
Online advertising law
Native advertising
Online content that is integrated with publisher editorial content to promote or enhance
a brand, such as a publisher article or social media update. Such content should be
disclosed as advertising by law in many countries, and for this reason publishers refer to
it as branded content.
Political trends
 The political environment is shaped by the interplay of government agencies,

public opinion and consumer pressure groups, and industry-backed
organisations.
 Political action and control:
• Internet governance: Control of the operation and use of the internet.
• Net or network neutrality: is the principle of provision of equal access to different internet
services by telecommunications service providers.
• Taxation: How to change tax laws to reflect globalisation of trade facilitated by the internet.
• Tax Jurisdiction: determines which country gets the tax income from a transaction
Social forces
Social forces. Cultural diversity among digital

communities influences use of the digital development,
devices and platforms and the services that businesses
provide online.
 Social exclusion
Part of society is excluded from the facilities available to

the remainder.
Digital minimalism and digital addiction
Economics forces
These cause variation in economic conditions and affect trading opportunities,

influence consumer spending and business performance, and have significant
implications for digital marketing planning.
 Economic growths
 Market growth and employment
• Interest and exchange rates

• Globalization
 Economic disruption
