4.3 Knowing advertisement patterns adopted by the organizations
From the view point of Liu and Mattila (2017), online advertisement is the most trending marketing options for any organization and it is highly necessary for a better kind of market revenue generation for new companies and old ones as well. It is seen that people who are roaming in the online stores get motivated by the offers that are given there with luring presentation. It is seen that people go for the vibe and what is trending in the fashion world. The most of the cases the psychology of the buyer can be changed by giving such offers that are beyond expectation of the customers. The organizations are giving such offers that are attracting customers towards those objects which the companies want to sell. It is one of a kind thing for everyone and the organization knows that it is going to make a broader impact on the customers of their targeted region. According to the region they need to give the offers and it is highly necessary to make a better analysis before investing in the particular genre. The advertisement patterns are independent and they are not restrained by any organization. According to McCoy et al., (2017), it is the market need that triggers new thought of the authority to advertise and in the long run it is going to enhance the potential of the company to make betterment in their sales. In this context this can be said that the service providers need to have better kind of analysis of the market and the customers in order to get idea about the desires of the customers. This is going to enhance the chances of getting more people under their territory which is good from the business perspective.
4.4 Identifying the products that are being displayed in the homepages of customers social media account
The buying behavior of a customer depends on the society where he is living and it is highly necessary to have a better idea about it. The online stores are focusing on the age and other demographic and social factors that are regulating the buying behavior. It is seen that the psychology of a student is totally different than the people who are from the adult category. According to Kwon, Ha and Kowal (2017), the online stores are giving offers to the home pages of the social media account of the chosen customers to have a better influence on them. The buying behavior of a customer can be changed in a drastic manner by delivering the best offers possible. The internet is full of such stores and they are providing luring offers to the people. Among them who are taking those into account are becoming the prey of their advertisement. According to Belanche, Flavián and Pérez-Rueda (2017), the students are more attracted to technology and hence the technical gadgets and other things like dress and accessories are being displayed in the social media account of them. Apart from this the Google AdSense plays a vital role in making betterment in the advertisement showing. The advertisements are one of those things that are needed to be checked by the operators because they cannot miss to show something in offer from the same genre which is loved by the students. Apart from this the people who are looking for other kind of products like home accessories are also getting the advertisements in their social media accounts. From the view point of Jones et al., (2017), the advertisement makes betterment in the organizational reputation and this also enhances the possibility of such goods selling that are not been sold in the past times.
4.5 Literature Gap
The entire section is focusing on the online trends of making advertisement where the offline sections are totally overlooked in this case. The offline sections of advertisement have the potential to grab the eye of a customer who is not in touch of the social media for a long time due to some unavoidable reasons. From this aspect the need of offline publicity should not be overlooked. Apart from this, the main focus is given on the social media accounts and other factors are not taken under consideration and hence this can be taken as a major gap of the research.
4.6 Summary
The most of the cases online advertisement gets popularity than the offline option. It is perceived that the online options are more beneficial to be taken under consideration by the organization. The advertisements are focusing on the buying behaviors and the psychology of the customers. To make any kind of alteration in the business making it is necessary to get more customers under the account of a company. The companies are doing the same and it is becoming extremely beneficial from the organizations perspective.
