CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY
The arrival of new information and communication technologies has increased the complexity of competition in today's world; thus, the competitive aspects of the use of new technologies are essential for local and international businesses in order to gain an appropriate share of local markets. It is important to note that as societies progress, consumers in the domestic market have changed dramatically (Bareham, Jonathan R., 2004). As a result, it has become necessary for businesses to understand these advancements and navigate to E-marketing as a strategy to keep up with consumer behavior. E-marketing is a system and a marketing strategy that uses the internet and other social media to carry out marketing activities such as market research, market feasibility studies, promotion, advertising, and so on (Cynthia J. Bean, Leroy Robinson JR. 2002). Many governments have considered transitioning to a knowledge-based economy since the arrival of the information age. In the knowledge-based economy, new strategic and marketing roles are rapidly emerging. This is due to the numerous changes that are occurring in the business environment. Value creation opportunities are changing as the economy changes as a result of technological advances, or new opportunities for value creation are created (Srivastavaa, R. K., Faheyb, L., Kurt Christensen H. 2001). Many organizations seek to identify and capitalize on these advantages, as well as analyze their customers' web behavior, in order to reap the benefits of information and communication through this understanding. This advantage is known as a knowledge-based asset. (Sirvastava et al., 2001) As a result, investigations into traditional assumptions of value creation, business structure, and decisions about methods, strategies, and tactics should be reviewed and evaluated. The unique role of marketing in creating and exploiting new opportunities becomes clear as its efficiency improves, influencing consumer purchasing behavior and patronage (Robinson and Cynthia, 2002). As a result, the purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between an effective e-marketing strategy and consumer purchasing patterns.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The evolution of technology has emanated the advancement of marketing activities from traditional marketing base to E-marketing systems. This system, however, has taken the field of marketing to a totally new potential environment. This is because most economic and non-economic organizations and even individuals have advanced to the use of the internet for performing many activities, thereby having their attentions on the internet and social media. Hence, this advancement has affected most traditional systems of marketing such as the use of leaflets, posters, hand bills etc. However, the change in the consumer environment was identified as an opportunity rather than a challenge to the field of marketing as E-marketing emerged. E-marketing has rapidly taken the marketing field to a point of efficiency and effectiveness as it captures more audiences and is perceived to be convenient for consumers. This is due to the fact that e-marketing provides a broader range of services across the globe and a more precise society.
