Myntra came up with Television commercial lately which is

Above-The-Line advertising. The first TVC ad was created by

Taproot India with the theme “Real life mein aisa hota hai kya?”
highlighting the various benefits of online shopping like free home

 delivery, cash on delivery and 30 day return policy. Myntra also

unfurled OOH (out of home) campaign to build awareness.

Benefits of online advertising

.1 Cost

The low costs of electronic communication reduce the cost of

displaying online advertisements compared to offline ads. Online
advertising, and in particular social media, provides a low-cost
means for advertisers to engage with large established
communities. Advertising online offers better returns than in other
media. Online advertising rates are set through a combination of ad
size, ad location, ad performance and market demand.

2 Measurability

Online advertisers can collect data on their ads' effectiveness, such

as the size of the potential audience or actual audience response,
how a visitor reached their advertisement, whether the
advertisement resulted in a sale, and whether an ad actually loaded
within a visitor's view. This helps online advertisers improve their
ad campaigns over time.

3 Formatting

Advertisers have a wide variety of ways of presenting their

promotional messages, including the ability to convey images,
video, audio, and links. Unlike many offline ads, online ads also

 can be interactive. For example, some ads let users input queries or
let users follow the advertiser on social media. Online ads can
even incorporate games.

4 Targeting

Publishers can offer advertisers the ability to reach customizable

and narrow market segments for targeted advertising. Online
advertising may use geo-targeting to display relevant
advertisements to the user's geography. Advertisers can customize
each individual ad to a particular user based on the user's previous
preferences. Advertisers can also track whether a visitor has
already seen a particular ad in order to reduce unwanted repetitious
exposures and provide adequate time gaps between exposures.

5 Speed

Once ad design is complete, online ads can be deployed

immediately. The delivery of online ads does not need to be linked
to the publisher's publication schedule. Furthermore, online
advertisers can modify or replace ad copy more rapidly than their
offline counterparts.

6 Coverage

Online advertising can reach nearly every global market, and

online advertising influences offline sales.

7. Deliverability and flexibility

 Internet ad is delivered in relative 24 hours a day, 7 days a week

and 31 days a month.

.8 Tracking

Marketers can track how users interact with their brand and earn
what is of interest to their current customs and prospective.

PROMOTIONS

• Ad words: Ad words are Google ads on search engines, when

people search for any product related keywords it appears.
They have bought ad slots on various websites related to
their products to tap the untapped market. For example
facebook and inkfruit. Initially online websites pull off their
promotions online which is low on budget and high on
impact.

• SEM (Search Engine Marketing): Myntra will go bankrupt if

it will invest all their capital on ad words. SEM is the process
through which a website gets traffic or visibility on search
engines. Myntra is doing SEM through articles and link
exchanges; they are very technical in nature and often needs
experts. Myntra has developed Style mynt blog wherein they
have provided customers with latest fashion styles of the
season through their range of products.

• Link exchange is an effective internet marketing system that

makes it easy to increase traffic to your website. With
increased link popularity comes increased search engine

 ranking and if channelized efficiently, it can become cash

cow for the company. It gets company direct traffic, helps in
building relationship with other websites and search engine
optimization

• The promotion codes have been made to lure customers

through discounts and coupons.

• From online to Tele: With increasing cash flows and IPO

funds, Myntra came up with Tele Vision Commercials and
also they are doing viral advertising by outdoor campaigning,
e-mails, hoarding placement and cross campaigning.

The journey from Foundation – The Launch

• The journey of Myntra started from 2007 when Mr. Mukesh

Bansal with Vineet Saxena and Ashutosh Lawania was backed
up by Erasmic Venture Fund. They opened the first e-commerce
B2B fashion store in India. Initially, they worked on the B2B
platform. Myntra was a one stop solution for personalized gift
items with products like T-Shirts, Mouse Pads, Mugs, and other
general products till 2010.
• In 2011, Myntra decided to divert from personalized products to
lifestyle segment. This is the year when they launched brands
like Being Human and Fastrack Watches on their platform. It
marked their rigid stand in the fashion world on the online
platform.

 • In 2012, it recorded to offer fashion elements from 350 brands,

from India and was the first to get International brands on a
large scale.
• 2014 remained the year of transformation for them, as Flipkart
took over their company. It recorded a total coverage of 9000
pin codes in India, with 1000 brands as their working partner. In
2015, it recorded to include 150000 products in their online
portfolio.
• Change is inevitable and Myntra’s steady success remained in
the market, for their acceptance of this change. In the year 2015,
they moved on to the app mode for mobile users. With an initial
research and survey, they found out 90 percent of users are
using the mobile platform. Myntra came up to the decision and
applied the same to get immense success. 2015 is also the year
when Myntra acquired a Bangalore based Mobile App firm –
Native5. This acquisition expanded their online presence to a
greater level, in the Indian market.
• In 2016 Myntra acquired its rival fashion platform, Jabong.com
and established their supremacy in the online fashion world of
India. 2017 is another year when Myntra proved its presence in
the market by partnering itself with Ministry of Textiles. With
this partnership, they started to promote handloom industry over
the online platform in India.

 Marketing Strategy of Myntra that brought them Immense

Success

• Myntra has been founded by some IIT passed out graduates in

the year 2007. It was not the first company in India to work on
the e-commerce platform. So, the competition was high. The
strategy it pulled up for success had been their marketing mix.
They worked on the niche of garments and fashion. Gradually
they covered all segments of the same and created a completed
coverage of all lifestyle items. It made them a brand in Indian
Market by 2014.

• Technology has been another great area that Myntra worked

on. Starting initially at the online platform, they continued to
upgrade themselves with technology. Understanding the trend
of users, they switched to Mobile app version swiftly. It gave a
big thrust to its competitors by 2016.

• Logistics had remained the key success area for Myntra too.
They expanded fast to cover around 9000 Pin codes in India
and thus created a sensation to its competitors. The distance
between physical buying and buying from an e-commerce
platform can be shortened with a highly nurtured logistics.
Myntra ensured the same to retain its supremacy in the Fashion
world of India.

 • In terms of promotion, Myntra never left out any platform for

its success. However, their approach was not like the other
competitors. A perfect strategy has been knitted every time by
them in social network marketing. Marketing on Facebook,
YouTube, and Twitter was focussed but was not made rigorous
to disturb the users. Solution providing attitude has been
maintained to reach users every moment. Most of the time,
their advertisement strategy remained targeted at the core
competency. They held over the competitors – and thereby
placed their style statement prominently.

SUGGESTION

The researcher has made personal contact with the respondents

who have purchased products and services through online. It is
concluded that most of the respondents have a good opinion about
online shopping, though there are so many problems to be
improved by the vendors and service providers.

These suggestions are as follows:

• As there are no proper laws for online purchases, they have to

be implemented to prevent the anonymous intruders. This will
help to maintain security and private information properly
concerning the respondents. So the website developers and
service providers should take necessary steps to overcome this
problem.

• Web based technologies upgrades creative conceptualization

that would improve the response from technology savvy
consumers. So the firms have to invest in such new
technologies.

• Internet environment has to be improved in the areas of art,

dynamic and interactive techniques. This improvement will
give more visual appeal.

• The vendors and service providers should avoid hidden

charges. This will help to avoid increase in price of product.
