In its broadest sense, every sent to a potential or current customer could be considered marketing. However, the term is usually used to refer to: 1) Sending messages with the purpose of enhancing the relationship of a merchant with its current or previous customers, to encourage customer loyalty and repeat business 2) Sending messages with the purpose of acquiring new customers or convincing current customers to purchase something immediately 3) Adding advertisements to messages sent by other companies to their customers [3]. Researchers intend in this article regarding the important role of E-commerce in IT development in Iran to introduce advantages and disadvantages of marketing and also to introduce strategies that increase the efficiency of this tool will pay. II. LITERATURE REVIEW In the recent past, marketing quickly became the preferred method of contact for businesses looking to cut expenses, connect with buyers and increase profits. However, as the dynamic world of marketing has progressed, analysts are have encountered some disadvantages to marketing that have made other alternatives like direct marketing campaigns or text campaigns look more appealing. In this section, the advantages and disadvantages were explained as below: A. Advantages of Marketing Most of what you invest, you get. Recent research shows that for every dollar invested in marketing, you can expect that according to the Direct Marketing Association, marketing in 2009, acquired for $ So Marketing has the highest return on investment than other marketing methods [4], [5]. It is very meaningful. You can customize messages for different customers and provide contents and promotions that are consistent with their profile. Finally, your customers 232
2 acquire what they want and thus they obtain better view about what each section of current business will respond. So you can continue to send more relevant s [4]. Measurability. By marketing, you can easily find the number of s sent, number of s that have been opened and that those who have opened up, the number of people who are not registered, and click rate (which includes the link been effective and who clicked on it) [6]. It is easy. Creating a marketing message via is almost as easy as writing an [5]. It is automatic. marketing has a tool called an autoresponder. For example, if you want to send a campaign message to your recipients on special days you just create the messages and schedule it [5]. It is fast and efficient. Timing is everything, so it can be said: this is a quick and efficient way. Offers promotions through with a clear call to action, can have tremendous impact on earnings. Channels cannot provide any possibility for you in a short period of time so as to obtain the customer directly [4]. marketing is known as a permission marketing and it is one of it s advantages because it allows customers to decide whether they want to be reached via [7]. mass customization are enabled by marketing so each message is unique to each customer, it helps marketers to inform the success of their promotions easily and quickly, it provides a major insights into the recipient s actions through measurable events such as message open, hyperlinks clicked [8]. B. Disadvantage of Marketing Undelivered . These days many ISPs use complex junk-mail filters. So there is no guarantee that your s are getting into your audience inbox. Also, it is possible that individuals delete an from someone who is not in their contact list. This is increasingly becoming a disadvantage of marketing [9]. response decay. It's not easy to keep subscribers actively engaged with your company in the long-term [10]. Renderability. Difficulty of displaying the creative as intended within the in-box of different reading systems.. Your subscribers may want a message with "unsecured" items such as color, graphics and links that not all browsers will support them. Finally, your recipient will instantly close the window or you will have to just settle for the drab all-text [9], [10]. Expenses. Some people and technology resources are required to deliver a sophisticated newsletter that engages the consumer. Even though marketing is very inexpensive to propagate, the outcome could wind up costing a lot more if a judge deems your messages useless spam [9][10]. Overload. When an gets through to the consumer, there is so much that needs to be looked at sometimes it is difficult for the individual to distinguish between solicited and unsolicited , as well as have time to read through the [10]. Another disadvantage of marketing is to transmit many software viruses and it makes customers to become suspicious even to the trusted sources and market [7]. III. METHOD AND FINDINGS Based on the literature review regarding to Marketing, researchers have done a study for identifying the advantages and disadvantages of Marketing. This study was a systematic review on Marketing. A systematic review is literature review focused on a single question that tries to identify, appraise, select and synthesize all high quality research evidence relevant to that question [11]. A. Steps on Implementation Marketing Based on Findings The following steps are valuable during implementing marketing: Step One: Define -based marketing. Before starting to create a marketing strategy based ; you can specify what means marketing for your organization [12]. Step Two: Determine the purpose. The most important question you should answer: "What is the purpose of marketing via for your company?" Important questions to answer are: Why Marketing? How marketing through existing marketing efforts will help you? How your marketing efforts will be linked together? What is the current lead generation process? How marketing helps to generate leads? Are you in touch with your customers regularly? Does Marketing replace or complement any other communication strategies? [12] Step Three: Building a customer database. Some of this information may include demographic data (e.g., age, gender, etc.), customer status and so on [12]. Step Four: Privacy Policy. Provide a privacy policy link that makes visitors sure their addresses will not be shared or sold without their permission [5]. Step Five: Organized by the Department or Group. The next step of building a marketing strategy is managing internal information of the organization. At this point, should be starting to find opportunities for organizing information to achieve their ultimate goal [12]. Step six: Projecting content. Now that you identify who you are communicating with and the type of communication you want to produce, you need to plan the real content for each item. To do this, you should build an editorial calendar. This will assist you prepare for the future and make you certain that each communication contain relevant content [12]. Step seven: From, to and subject Line. What you write in front of the from, to and subject line is the first step to communicate with your customer. It is very important to write smartly for encouraging them to open their [13]. Step eight: Test message. One of the profits of is the capability to test quickly and measure outcome before an entire campaign is launched [13]. Step nine: Tracking results of competition. At this stage we need a criterion for success. For each type of publication you should outline what will represent success. Sharing these metrics (such as the number of people who click) helps that all involved to recognize that how can truly impact on an organization. The most important metrics are: Delivery rate, Open rate and Clickthrough rate [12]. 233
3 IV. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION The findings of this study offer some advantages and disadvantages of using Marketing and showed how it can be decreased its disadvantages by using some improving techniques. There are some recommendations to Iranian Marketing Company regarding to improving Marketing. Based on the findings of this study there are as follow: A. Tactics for Improving Relevancy Classification of competition based on audience behavior [14]. Classification of competition based on sale cycle [14]. Allowing audience to determine their preferences. By creating good preferences center that allow members to choose their preferences and change their needs, can increase the flexibility of system (e.g., members are able to choose the time of receiving s) [15]. Sending especial automatically. By sending this s, we noted that our audiences are valuable. Examples of this include messages that are created by clicking on certain links, when our audience changes profile information or fills it (e.g., Welcome s) [16]. Personalize your content dynamically [14]. B. Tactics for Growing Lists Through subscription. Subscriptions are done in three ways: Subscribe to newsletters, purchase and register during the registration and download. forward-to-a friend. "Word of mouth" is one of the most powerful viral marketing techniques. If members recognize that your content is useful and informative, certainly, it will forward, and this fact increases the number of readers and may even increase the number of registered users [17]. Social sharing buttons. Social network has very important role in your business as it can be passed to your subscribers followers, their followers followers and so on to expand ing lists [18]. Co-registration. "Co-registration is a widely - used approach to increase the size of your lists. Co-registration works this way: After completing a subscription form or upon leaving a website, visitors are invited to subscribe to one or more e-zines. If yours is listed among these and the site gets a substantial amount of traffic, you'll begin to receive a number of subscriptions [19]." Offline event/tradeshows. You can introduce your business through offline event such as tradeshow in order to absorb potential customer [17]. Online events / webinars [17]. C. Tactics for Improving Marketing Deliverability The first factor that ISPs use in recognizing is to block or continue messages is the reputation of your organization and domain. Internet services judge your messages based on how your customers respond to your messages send. When ISPs want to recognize your reputation, they usually consider factors that include: The number of complaints that your organization has received through the ISPs, the number of s bounce or unbeliever, content of messages. marketing deliverability tactics are including: Remove inactive members from the list. Trim your template. Monitoring and decreasing complaints rate. Complaints management should always stop and let us consider the causes of these complaints [20]. Tactics for supervision on sending . ISPs continuously review their laws as they should have some steps prior to the spammers. It is essential that monitor your performance constantly. The following performance indicators for monitoring to: 1) Hard bounce. It is refer to messages that are sent to Inactive addresses [21]. 2) Complaints of spam 3) Unsubscribe 4) Black lists that you've added to it 5) Inbox delivery rate by ISP. It is certainly good practice for your data list to be screened on regular basis to identify poor data and it is a good idea to screen you list prior to it being used for the first time. Things to look out for: 1) Duplicate addresses 2) Junk entries 3) Common miss-spellings ( Yohoo instead of Yahoo ) 4) Irrelevant addresses [20]. Content: content is monitored for incorrect or non-standard code spammy content by spam filters. There are some ways for checking template before distribution. 1) It is good practice to screen the cods through HTML validator or spam content checker or Campaign Monitor [20]. 2) It is suggested that display your in different browsers, such as, Google chrome, Firefox and so on [20]. 3) It is suggested that create a dummy account in yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail. So you are the first one that can monitor how your loads [20]. 4) If there are some problems in rendering s, you should find the way in which you create your s. For example, do not use assistance of a design program such as Dreamweaver because they may add some "dirty" html codes to your s. Create your by hand without the helping from such programs [20]. 5) Do not use Java script and Visual Basic or other Script languages in your s [22]. 6) percent of your audience turns off having images by default. So it is suggested that do not design your s based on images [20]. 7) Subject line The subject line is very important factor to open an sending by your organization to a customer. The following tips help to improve the rate of its opening: Length of subject line. Subject line with shorter length works better. Experiences estimated that the length of subject line is less than 50 characters and even it seems that this length decreases over time. B2B companies often need less than 20 characters, because the most of our readers check their s on PDA or mobile devise. In fact, new research shows that more people in jobs and busy work, their 234
4 on their mobile phones. So be aware, how your audiences check their [4]. Content. Strong offers (for sale) and valuable content that send to customers will have great effect. Get excited them by highlighting the benefit of each in subject line. Your s are labeled as spam by some words such as Free, afford, opportunity, save, earn money, eliminate and debt [4]. Personalization. Personalization in your subject line can be influential [4]. Use top lists [23]. 8) From line The first question that comes to customers mind after receiving is: Do I know you? So it is a critical step to success. From line is composed of two parts: 1. From name 2. From address It is possible that your audiences notice first part, second part or both of them. So how can you ensure you re from line is well-known? Two following ways can help you be familiar: Be consistent. Audiences are familiarized you by communicating and looking for your special from name or address name. Make it meaningful. You must be introduced by from name and from address and also they can reveal the relationship between you and your audience. Avoid the generic name, such as By doing this you just wasted your valuable space with characters, it will tell something about the sender. Furthermore, this type of non-personal names often seems to be considered as junk mail. Here are some examples of From lines that range from highly recognizable to not at all recognizable: and pnb.com [24]. D. Testing For testing an , there are some types of tests that include A/B and Multivariate testing. In this paper A/B testing selected to explain. It is: A/B testing is creating two different versions of an and send each version to a small segment of your list to see which one gains the best result (e.g., open rate, clickthrough rate, etc.) [25]. Subject line. Subject line is one of the most important parts of an . You can use this method to test your . Factors that can give consideration include: 1. Add personalization in the subject line 2. Call to action 3. The subject line 4. Words used in the subject line. design. It is suggested that have a main template of your and create probably the same template with less differences. However, you can test the main factors that influence on your unsubscribe rate, click through rate or aim of the . content. There are some factors that you can test in your content. A/B testing is the best way in this area. a) Headline. The first thing that can be observed after opening the mail and should be consistent with the subject line is headline. You can consider it as a link or simple text and then check the click through rate and decide which way is better; 2. Position of content. Test your by moving content in different part of body. But you consider that place the most important content in the beginning of your ;3. Types of content; 4. Position of social media icons; 5. Number of images; 6. Number of links; 7. length; 8. Call to action; 9. From name and From address [26]. REFERENCES [1] A. Riazi, Strategic document of information technology system in Iran, Access on: 10 Dec. 2011, [Online].
