The web is being conveyed quickly since most recent two decades, and with fundamental electronic economy that is driven by data progression besides being made the world over. After an entire arrangement movement of web, which promptly expanded web clients and particularly speed web alliance, and some new advancement besides have been made and utilized for web building up, those lead to firms can advance and upgrade pictures of thing and associations through site page. Consequently, point by point thing information and enhanced association pulls in more individuals changed their customer conduct from the standard mode to more depend on upon the web shopping. On the other hand, more affiliations have appreciated that the customer conduct change is unavoidable illustration, and thusly change their propelling method. As the late examines have demonstrated that, the web shopping especially in business to customer (B2C) has risen and web shopping wind up being more standard an excess of different individuals.
There are different illuminations behind such a smart making of web shopping, which by and large because of the purposes of interest that web gives. As an issue of first essentialness, the web offers specific sort of settlement to buyers. Evidently, purchasers don’t require go out chasing down thing data as the web can help them to look from online destinations, and it also assesses between every areas to get the base excessive expense for procurement. Additionally, the web can improve buyer use thing all the more helpfully plus, adequately than different channels to fulfill their necessities. Through the unmistakable solicitation motors, purchasers spare time to access to the utilization related data, and which data with blend of pictures, sound, and unfathomably down and out substance delineation to help buyer learning and picking the most sensible thing (Moon, 2004). By the by, web shopping has potential dangers for the clients, for example, bit thriving, and after association. By virtue of the web headway made, web bit beginning late gets to gainfulness, in the mean time, as its virtual property lessened web security.
Much the same as other direct publicizing stations, for occurrence, tele-vision and documents, Internet is in like way changing into an essential propelling station. The web gives regular shopping channel, which is not limited by time and land condition. Similarly, it underpins an assortment of various contrasting options to approach broad retailing hones over Internet.

Further, showcasing in new companies is altogether different from advertising for a major firm. First off one has restricted assets. It is a troublesome choice as to where the cash ought to be spent. We have attempted to answer some inquiries taking into account our study like
Guerrilla Marketing
Should a startup concentrate on item advancement or item promoting?
At what stage is it fitting for a startup to begin emptying in cash into promoting?
How successful are the distinctive promoting methodologies on shoppers?
Has customer procurement expanded because of the showcasing endeavors of the distinctive new businesses?
Advertisment is described as “any paid sort of non-individual correspondence of contemplations and information about things in the media with the objective of making brand picture [10] (Armstrong, 2010). Long time back the advancing on Television and Print media was the genuine wellspring of promotion, yet these days Internet showcasing has transformed into another huge wellspring of online business. Web is complimenting exceptional force in various headway exercises and tries [10] (Armstrong, 2010). To hide this phase of publicizing associations are getting prepared for the advancement of web retailing, yet therefore they are obviously requiring right gages of web gaining rehearses [11] (Gerald Lohse, 2000). “In the Internet environment, purchasers don’t need to change in accordance with the cravings of others when making a purchase, and they all have instructive effect that enables them to utilize sound judgment. Web Advertisement is transforming into an imperative device that is used to showcase the things and organizations by the mechanical and non-cutting edge affiliations [12] (RAVIKUMAR, 2012). Other than focuses on demonstrate that electronic business moreover create the new sorts of promotion, for instance, banners, pop ups, recordings, content and other advertisement interfaces [13] (Manchanda, 2006).
As showed by an evaluation the total utilization of online advancement is around $66.6 billion in all over the place all through the world [14] (The Wall Street Journal, 2004). In light of this associations which are needing to update their online operations on the Internet stage they are quest ing for the exact measures and gages which can tell them that whether there is customer response or not. Those associations which are strategizing for the advancement of retailing on Internet they are decidedly requiring reli-able examinations for the improvement of Internet shopping [15] (Lohse, 2000). With no vulnerability basic extension has been found in the web advancement part. It is shown to end up another phase which is drawing the thought of associations towards itself. It is routinely watched that associations are apportioning an important entirety with the finished objective of online promotion. Web advancing points of interest swathe regions that depict to consideration brands over the web and contain banner publicizing, advancing execution, web crawler advancing/PPC publicizing, and further change and subtle elements identified with web publicizing. As demonstrated by [16] (Grabstats, 2008) wage of web notification has 38% advancement from 2000-2008. Web notification is strong if it is talented to convey a minute counter from the customers [17] (Tse, 2005). More altogether three components are used as a piece of web advertisements which are Multimedia highlight, Pictures and substance highlights. These parts have been used by the model proposed by [18] (Rutgars, 2003)
The key parameters we considered for filtering articles for literature review included ‘startups’, ‘marketing’, ‘internet startups’, ‘’, ‘Guerilla’, ‘Branding’ and ‘Strategies’. Since our research revolved around the red ocean marketing strategies for start-ups in India, these search parameters were found to be the most relevant. Further we also considered articles focused on articles giving us information on different types of marketing strategies in different scenarios. This gave us a holistic view of the various researches conducted on children.

Novel startup endeavors are regularly unsafe as well as face unforeseeable instability (occasions that can’t in any way, shape or form be anticipated at the beginning) consolidated with multifaceted nature (various distinctive, perhaps collaborating, impacts). In this paper, we give prove that, under these circumstances, exemplary arranging and hazard administration strategies are not adequate. The administration group must broaden its scope of administration techniques and consider two extra methodologies for the parts of the activity that are helpless against unforeseeable instability: (1) selectionist trials, running a few parallel arrangement endeavors, of which stand out will be picked toward the end, and (2) experimentation realizing, where the first arrangement is perhaps totally relinquished and another arrangement created midcourse, as new data rises. |
1) Small example size 2) Survivor inclination: The endeavors that were willing to take an interest were all still alive 3) Questions like, what are the relative expenses of selectionism and realizing (which are not followed by the organizations) and advantages crosswise over various parts of the endeavor?, can be replied in future studies |

From the literature review we had a solid methodology for administering the questionnaire. Further, we noted that most of the articles were aimed at finding a correlation between the marketing strategies used and the popularity of the startup. This was a clear gap which we tried to fill through our research. We will also try to figure out the probability of a marketing strategy being successful through Binary Logist Model. Through this we will try to analyze the magnitude and direction of the influence of marketing strategies on customer acquisition and retention.
The following research objectives were kept in mind for our project.
Do advertisements have an impact on choice of E-Commerce websites that people shop on?
Does the increase in number of advertisements, ie the number of times it is displayed on television have an effect on the choice of e-commerce websites that people shop on?
Does the increase in number of channels an advertisement is aired increase the likelihood that a person will choose a particular e-commerce website?
Does the timing of advertisements affect choice of e-commerce websites?
Does an attractive and catchy tagline affect the mindset of an average consumer to decide where he shops online?
Through our research, we seek to find quantitative data that answers the above questions
Classified Advertisement has positive relationship with the E-commerce sales in India.
Display Advertisement has positive relationship with the E-commerce Sales in India.
Search Advertisement has positive relationship with the E-commerce Sales in India.
It exhibits the exchange on every theory which we propose on the premise of substantive writing. Exact reflection on every speculation will be dissected to choose whether theory anticipated have a huge or irrelevant relationship. As the aftereffects of T-details and P-estimation of ordered Advertisement is great and shows critical association with the E-business deals so on the premise of that we acknowledge the H1. When we discuss H2, the P-worth and T-insights is not considerable and not demonstrating noteworthy association with the needy variable which is E-business deals yet in principle it has positive critical association with the E-trade deals. Discoveries of a study says “The aftereffects of an experiment demonstrate that if a showcase promotion is set on a site then the promotion ought to be exceedingly consistent with the site than it will bring viable results for the publicist”
In addition another finding which is especially about impact of pennant promotion on the buyer buy intension, they additionally demonstrated that show or image notice has solid positive effect on consumer purchasing or buys on Internet. Buys ultimately mean the deals on Internet. So in the light of these outcomes in writing we may accept the H2 and acknowledge the announcement that Display Ads has solid huge positive association with the aggregate E-business deals. Notwithstanding H1 results, when we see the t-details and p-estimation of H3 it likewise demonstrates positive critical association with the E-business deals by these qualities we acknowledge the H3.
Strategies
The approach adopted was deductive approach, as the research is based on a hypothesis and we worked to check it. As this is a study of consumer behavior among children, descriptive process was chosen. Survey method was chosen for the study and MS Excel was used to prepare the questionnaire. The survey was conducted by personally asking the respondents. Since the survey involved children, due care was taken to ensure that they understood the purpose of the research, to preserve the identity of the respondents and to prevent misrepresentation of their responses. The complete analysis is based on quantitative data and IBM SPSS and Microsoft Excel are used for the study.
Methodology
We followed a quantitative research methodology for this project by using questionnaires. Since our study focused on marketing strategies for startups we prepared a questionnaire that would focus on how marketing strategies affect the behavior of consumers of these startups. We mainly focused on the age group of 20-30 as these are the major customers of internet based startups. We tried to analyze whether their buying behavior was affected by the marketing strategies used by these startups.
Also since the age group of our questionnaire was 20-30 we tried to keep the questionnaire as short and direct as possible. We kept the language unambiguous. We floated the survey online as this was the easiest way to get in touch with maximum people in this age group.
The questionnaire focused on the following:
- Age
- Gender
- Interest in ecommerce based start-ups
- Usage of Internet based start-ups
- Viewership of advertisements by these start-ups
- Effect of the advertisements on these consumers
- Whether the advertisements urged them to revisit these websites
- Effect of time of advert
- Effect of good tagline
- Effect of number of times the advertisement is viewed
- Effect of number of channels the advertisement is aired on
The responses were obtained through a survey obtained online. Once the responses were collected simple statistical analysis were conducted, i.e. chi-squared test for variables identified as categorical variables and pair-wise t test for scale variables. The significant variables were identified from this set of tests. Additionally, a binary logit regression model was also built to understand the magnitude and direction of the influence of these significant variables on a probability that a brand becomes a children’s favorite brand.
Results
Profile of the Respondents
In terms of profile of the respondents, all the respondents were between 21- 32 years of age.
Gender of Respondents
Basic Responses of the children

On a scale of 1 to 5, whether you open/buy from ecommerce websites?
On a scale of 1 to 5, if you would buy again from the website after viewing their advertisement?
Statistical Analysis
In terms of statistical analysis, a set of simple statistical tests like chi square test and pair-wise t test were conducted. Additionally, a binary logit regression model was also built to understand the magnitude and direction of influence of the significant variables identified from the first step on the dependent variable, i.e. probability of a brand being the child’s favorite brand. Following sections will illustrate these tests in detail.
Does the advertisement being comical influence the children’s favouritism towards a particular brand?
The Chi-square test proved that this particular variable is significant and having a comical angle in an advertisement definitely helps in making your brand more favourite.

Similar to the third test shown above all other variables turned insignificant. These variables included whether an advertisement contains a movie star and whether an advertisement contains a cartoon character.
Apart from this test were also conducted to gauge the negative influence of advertisements on children, whether their urge to test a new product increases on influence of the advertisements. With the sample conducted this proved to be insignificant. This could be mainly because of the bias present in the children to look good in front of the interviewer, especially in our case since the interviewer being mostly their relative or family friend. The question here asked was whether they fought with their parents and secondly they were asked if they fought with their parents for a new product that has been recently been launched. The figure below illustrates the results and it has been shown no particular negative effect has been created on account of the advertisements.

Binary Logit Model
The following model was obtained when the three significant variables identified from the above tests were used in building the model.
Probability of being a favorite brand
Number of times advertisement seen
Advertisement having a good jingle
Advertisement is comical
Here we can conclude that number of times advertisements seen and advertisements having a good jingle positively influence children’s favorite brand decision whereas if the advertisement is comical it would negatively impact the same.
The model Cox Snell R squared stood around 0.26 and the HosmerLemmeshow Test was performed to observe the goodness of fit of the model. Since the sample size was less and this test being a very conservative test instead of looking for the significance statistic, the observed outcomes v/s the expected probabilities were compared visually in the ordered deciles based on the predicted probability obtained by the model.

Conclusion
The observed v/s the predicted outcome have also been depicted pictorially in the figure below.
From the results above, it can be concluded that the model can be accepted at least for the sake of comparing the impact of the three independent variables on the dependent variable.
However it should be noted that, multi-collinearity tests were not conducted to understand if the variables themselves are not correlated to each other as this could impact the direction and magnitude of their coefficients.
We had the below limitations while conducting the survey.
Limited number of responses (30)
A gender ratio of 80:20 among respondents
A certain bias could have been generated in the results as responses were filled by directly asking the respondents, in our case children who might not particularly understood the question

It can be concluded from the test obtained that number of times an advertisement is seen and the whether the advertisement is comical and having a good jingle influence the children’s decision of selecting the favorite brand.
It can be recommended that:
Brands should spend on getting more number of advertisements, as the more the children see the advertisements, more the chance of the brand becoming a favorite
Brands should create advertisements with good jingle, as advertisement with a good jingle will lead to more brand affinity
Though it can also be concluded that comical advertisements hurt the chances of a brand being the most preferred brand, this result is a counter intuitive finding. As a result, it is recommended that this more research should be done before verifying this result as the current data contains too few data points to confirm this result.
