MAKING WEALTH MANAGEMENT AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE AT ANY TIME

stablished in 1998, additiv partners with leading financial institutions across the world to help them capitalize on the possibilities of digital wealth and investment management.

E

additiv’s DFS omnichannel orchestration platform is a system of intelligence for wealth management. It supports wealth managers looking for best-in-class Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) to deliver better engagement at greater scale. It enables financial institutions to access new distribution channels through a Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) model. And it allows banking and non-banking providers to embed wealth services into their client propositions.

Headquartered in Switzerland, with regional offices in Singapore, UAE, Germany and Kenya, additiv is supported by a global ecosystem of partners.

In a conversation with Christine Schmid, Head - Strategy, at additiv, she shared the company’s journey and what additiv offers to 18 | July 2021

its clients.

highlight the triggers.

• What were the initial challenges additiv faced?

additiv started in 1998 in media and publishing, sport marketing and marketing and lead management automation and analytics. The latter particularly grew fast; data analytics skills combined with high end events in the finance sector led the company to its early stages in fintech.

Founding and growing a technology company in Switzerland/Europe is always going to be a challenge. The cluster of technology specialists and experts is significantly smaller than Silicon Valley or in Asia. We would have loved the exchange, trial and error culture that a wider network would have provided.

In addition, we had some idea failures within our cultural environment initially and failure is not the path to learn and adjust easily within the Swiss context. But it is a must to grow and proceed in particular in the technology world.

However, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger and as a result of these challenges we have emerged stronger and, since 2018, we have been driving exponential growth being rightly positioned.

• Were there any points which triggered the growth of the company?

Our story is a surprising one and reviewing our history may help to

Our experience from being established in 1998 has been invaluable to our success but we really only started operating as a fintech from around 2011. It was then that additiv became the first company together with a bank client to launch a wealth robo, to launch the first consumer lending online offering, budget and planning for private clients.

From 2016 we entered our ‘growth phase’, where additiv’s strategic beliefs were established. It was the age of cloud and data analytics together with the de-and reconstruction of the value chain with zero marginal cost. Our experience in analytics and successful launch of our wealth robo solution allowed us to build upon our belief in the need for Everything-as-a-Service. This

C H R I S T I N E S C H M I D | H E A D - S T R AT E GY | A D D I T I V

supported Digital Finance-as-aService as the ultimate goal driven

by SaaS, managed services and a strong ecosystem of partners.

From 2020, additiv has been recognised as a leading wealthtech; providing one of the most advanced platforms. We enable regulated parties to offer their services as Banking-as-a-Service (supply side) and financial and non-financial companies to embed finance into their digital client journeys (demand side). Our clients are global, with strong growth in Asia, Europe and the Middle East, and our ecosystem of leading industry partners further supports our position.

• Can you share a few statistics?

We now have almost 180 employees from 40 nationalities including business teams in Switzerland, Singapore, Indonesia, Dubai, Kenya, Germany and development teams in Singapore, Portugal, Ukraine, Romania.

• What is the reason behind your company’s long-standing success?

It comes down to so many reasons including the curiosity to ask why and try which has led to innovation success. It’s also a speed to adjust and the ability to learn from challenges (and occasionally some failed ideas!) and having clear strategic beliefs is crucial.

Finally, (and very importantly) our

success is down to working very, very hard while also having fun doing so! A great place to be.

• What are the products/services the company focuses on?

We have a range of products that we offer, these include three established solutions; Hybrid Wealth Manager, Wealth Robo Advisor and, more recently our Wealth Solution Builder.

Our Hybrid Wealth Manager is a set of digital applications for managing investments and client relationships - Workbench, Mobile Advisor and an advanced, Client Cockpit with all the interaction possibilities with advisors. It allows financial institutions to offer the www.theenterpriseworld.com | 19

| Interview with The Enterprise World

best solution for their needs, only automating the menial elements previously undertaken by a relationship manager.

Our (assisted) Wealth Robo Advisor is a set of digital applications that offer self-service, remote chat with an advisor or via call-centre, screen sharing and phone-in from anywhere, at anytime (24/7). It allows financial institutions to offer the same superior quality service as traditional advice with the efficiency of a completely automated approach.

Often referred to as ‘Embedded Finance’ this approach allows firms to grow their addressable market.

These firms provide consumers with relevant financial services (from a regulated financial institution through a ‘Banking as a Service (BaaS) approach), at the time they need them, over the right channel, and tailored to their context. It’s a USD 3.6trn opportunity and we are now bridging a gap in the market for Embedded Finance and BaaS in the wealth industry through our new models.

The embedded wealth stack

Our Wealth Solution Builder is an established IT foundation platform and extensive range of API tools and functionality for FIs to build their own, end-toend, digital wealth offerings and client journeys. With the support of additiv technical staff, IT developers can create and control every element of their system including configuration, avoiding the lengthy and costly process of building the foundational elements of a system.

20 | July 2021

Our Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) model utilises our DFS orchestration platform that links regulated financial institution services with the brands that wish to embed them into their offering. In practice, this means providing APIs for interaction and the intelligence to integrate services in context-relevant user journeys. Our platform is specialized for Wealth Management-as-a-Service, but also supports its related lending and insurance use cases.

Embedded wealth: an end-toend approach

• Is there any new addition to the list of products/services?

Anything exciting you would like to share?

Since 2016, we’ve been continually developing our portfolio to logically progress the end-user journey to support our customers offer Everything-as-aService. And we are extending this now through our DFS Platform; connecting the brands wishing to embed financial services into their offering with regulated financial institutions.

easy for financial and non-financial institutions to embed investment services into their customer proposition. We offer up as end-toend services that a brand can easily include, either tightly integrated into an existing journey, or as standalone services. additiv provides the orchestration platform and works with regulated finance partners to be able to fulfil the complete customer journey.

Our Embedded Finance model offers a range of wealth management products that make it

• How are your services different from those in the market?

We believe that we are unique in offering BaaS and Embedded Finance to support Wealth Management-as-a-Service in the market. Conversations in the market and our research indicates that no other vendor is supporting this market need.

In addition, our products sit upon a uniquely intelligent SaaS cloudnative platform; DFS. DFS is an omni-channel platform built to underpin digital age banking architecture. It’s an orchestration layer that sits between client interaction channels and the core banking system and is designed to allow its users to be able to access their wealth management platform at any time, from anywhere.

Our solutions have been designed with agility and efficiency in mind, enabling our customers to realise the value of digitalization quickly.

On average we are able to ensure that we can roll out a new IT platform to our customers within 6 months (from scratch). Given how fundamental a digital wealth management platform is to realising the benefits of digitalization, this speed of delivery is key. However, once the platform is available, the ability to continually launch and enhance wealth management solutions is essential; at additiv our clients on average are able to launch new solutions within 3 months (subject to the given environment).

Our clients realise benefits including on average an

NPS registered 26 point improvement in disparity between promoters and distractors, a 25% new customer acquisition rate and 75% of total customer AUM in easset management.

Overall, we have simple cultural values that focus on collaboration, combined with explorative mindsets and thoughtful disagreement – i.e. a open discussion but clear decision culture.

• How do you decide to take the company a step further in terms of your products/services?

We like to focus on a nonhierarchical approach ensuring all our team take end to end ownership which empowers all to strive for the best and creates an environment where people can grow and take responsibility. We like to think working with additiv offers a fantastic journey if you are not looking for a static job description which lasts for years.

Like other vendors, sometimes our decisions are based on a market need in general and sometimes they are client led initially. However, we don’t embark on totally bespoke projects, we review a customers individual need and then undertake extensive research and development to ensure that there is a wider customer and end user need and understand the market opportunity as a whole. We then use the opportunity to design the product side by side with a client, ensuring that the product developed is sufficiently agile to support future client and market needs.

We have a variety of tools to test user-journey’s and products overall, including Postman collections that consume our DFS platform’s APIs as examples of different user journeys.

• How do you look after your employees? What makes your team unique?

Embracing diversity is a focus across all our offices, in fact our GM of our APAC office spoke at an INSEAD Alumni event on ‘addressing the gender gap’ at the end of last year. Our dedication to ethical behaviour was in fact recently recognized by EcoVadis, where we received a sort after bronze medal for overachieving in ethics relative to our sector.

• Is there any special experience with your clients you would like to highlight?

The majority of our customers return year on year often adding new functionality, services or projects which makes us proud – additiv is a business partner for the long run.

We have lots of examples of great experiences with our clients. For example, in a blog by our customers PostFinance, their Chief Investment officer Daniel Mewes, highlighted that our “intimate knowledge of the wealth management industry made it easy to align, prioritize, collaborate, and execute based on our shared understanding of customer priorities.”

• Whose business story do you find the most inspiring?

In general, I find new innovations that bring service simplicity to a new level really inspiring. As well as those that support our society broadly by allowing the next www.theenterpriseworld.com | 21

| Interview with The Enterprise World

generation to prosper and live.

The story behind Stripe is a good example of service simplicity.

Developed for the internet in 2010, Stripe software is accessible to businesses of every size, ranging from new start-ups to public companies; facilitating payments while allowing businesses to be managed online. It allows business owners to manage their revenue, prevent fraud, and expand internationally, offering an invaluable service to an economy that is increasing its reliance on eCommerce purchasing. By recognizing a need for a safe and reliable internet payment platform, its founders have created an industry leader. Today, Stripe is valued at $95 billion, a valuation that is predicted to grow with the reliance COVID19 has created on ecommerce shopping platforms.

Another business story that is dear to my heart is The Ocean Cleanup.

They are cleaning up our ocean and educating a global audience on what needs to be done to prevent plastic pollution in the ocean. Its founder, Boyan Stat, conceptualized the idea in 2011, after discovering more plastic than fish while diving in Greece when he was just 16. This discovery led him to investigate why ocean cleanup projects were rare, and what could be done to change that by making them more effective. His research uncovered a new way of ridding the ocean of plastic through a passive system using circulating ocean currents to transport and trap ocean contaminants.

In 2012, Boyan shared the findings of his research at a TEDx talk in his hometown Delft, in the Netherlands. His TEDx went viral 22 | July 2021

and coincided with The Ocean Cleanup launch in 2013, attracting attention and support across the globe. Boyan has since received over $40 million in funding, and his team are on their way to reaching their goal of removing 92% of plastic contamination from the ocean.

• Which is the most inspiring quote you have read?

It’s difficult to not be too cliché when it comes to quotes. There are so many from inspirational business professionals that are directly linked to our industry but fundamentally they often lose humility and have an underlying bias. With this in mind, I’d like to reference a humble quote: “Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.” – Albert Einstein.

I like to think that this quote can be applied in and outside of the working world. Adding value to our customer’s clients is fundamental, but so is adding value to those around us and to the world itself. Whether it be encouraging an inclusive culture with colleagues, championing diversity in the industry or teaching my children the importance of carbon neutrality for example, every one of use can add value in our own way.

• Constant vigilance- a need or a strategy? Please share your views.

Technology innovation change in recent decades has been massive and will continue. Thus constant vigilance is not a need but a given –

ensure that you are ahead of the rest (and leader, not a follower), take clear strategic decision and be globally informed is a must to stay ahead bringing financial services to the public.

Strategy is of course important though. Preparation is key, for example, we will need a new monetary system in coming years, new ways to store wealth (DLT, Blockchain etc.) and financial institutions must have the right agile systems to be ready.

• It’s a rat-race out there. How do you cope with that?

I’ve been in this industry for many years so I’m used to it! But seriously, I think it’s important that you don’t try and join the race!

This isn’t a battle to be won against competitors, I don’t tend to worry about them, I focus on what our customers and their clients need and let other industry players fight amongst themselves. It’s a much better use of energy and time.

The industry is moving at a very fast pace though, and it’s important to ensure that you can keep up! It’s very easy to get distracted by tactical activities and loose sight of what’s needed to lead the market, rather than follow. To avoid this, I like to take a breath of fresh air everyday which allows me to ensure I remain strategic in my thinking. Living in Switzerland with great outdoor sport possibilities and being near the mountains helps; having space to breath and think is so very important.

TOP MANAGEMENT CONSULTING FIRMS IN 2021

T

o become a consultant is not an easy job as most people look after the fewer work hours and more remuneration but the underlying fact that consultancies attain such command, respect, and revenue is due to their expertise in the field they work in.

Consultancies not only consist of highly specialized industry experts with thorough and detailed knowledge of the trends, intricate details, etc. but also have a proven track record of excellence and more than satisfied customers. It is a consultancy’s job to not only push their client’s business to growth and success but also help them in achieving a dominant position in the market, building their brand step by step, and making them independent. If you still find the role of consultancy meager, then look at the staggering results they have produced and the countless businesses they have helped achieve their goals and aims.

Today, we look at one of the most successful management consulting firms of 2021, how they help enterprises achieve nothing less than excellence, and much more.

Management – leading the way!

mentors’ students by offering guidance and inputs on new technology, innovation and entrepreneurship.

Tell us about the inspiration that pushed you to become an entrepreneur?

This journey started when our father got us a computer & a page created on Rediff got viral & someone contacted us from there asking if we could build his company website. What got me most excited than was “Someone’s actually paying me for this”.

Tell us about the services of NWDCo., and how you see the future of the company and its services?

Our offerings start from Consultancy to developing custom software, mobile app, cloud infrastructure, or a corporate portal / E-com website & digital marketing.

2021 will be unique in its own right. During the past year and a half, we have worked on multiple technologies getting NWDCo ready for the new technovations that business will require in the PostCOVID era. Here we see companies adopting technology for their daily business processes & to scale up their business.

As a company, we look forward to expanding our horizons across new geographies in 2021. Our dream is to be the 1st choice for any business requiring technology innovation, hence our tag line Technovating Business.

What is the impact of Covid-19 on the industry and as a CEO how do you plan to sustain, 32 | July 2021

overcome such a situation?

culture at NWDCo.

Technology has been spared from a total shutdown, but as we are also dependent on other industries to give us work, we have surely been affected. We know of some software companies which have shut shop as well.

Technovate is our company motto, which means Technology + Innovation. We have a great work culture, where we encourage our teams to think out-of-the-box, prepare their timelines for their deliverables & also simple things like ensuring the wellbeing of each other. Another approach is that if an individual is on leave, we follow a simple principle to not call/email them.

In long term, I believe people will be more accepting towards technology, namely work from anywhere using Remote Cloud, build process automation tools to help them internally & for their customers build their brand website, mobile app, E-com stores & of course Digital marketing where the maximum traction is.

During this difficult period, as an organization, we took some immediate steps. Firstly, we assured our teams, that we won’t fire anyone; next, we assured everyone that there will be no pay cuts & we ensured to credit their salary on the first day of each month.

From a work perspective, we introspected & took this opportunity to evolve as a team, by building our skillset & learning new technologies.

For Hospitality, we brought forward an entire range of Contactless Technologies – Kveso, which was showcased by Hotels Like Taj Mahal Palace, to create a safe guest experience & for which we were given the Pandemic Bravery Awards in an event supported by the Govt of India. In fact, this was further acknowledged as ‘Amazon Innovator of the Year 2021’ by Amazon.

Tell us about the team and work

We also create an enjoyable environment for our team through activities like ‘Fun@Office’, ‘Frrriiii Talks’, Picnic, etc around the year ensuring to maintain a healthy working environment.

How NWDCo is overcoming the challenges posed by the pandemic, also what is your suggestion to our readers?

While building our skillset, we also developed our latest offering – CertCase.io which is an entirely new offering in futuristic technology – Blockchain. We believe CertCase.io will revolutionise in a manner in which companies do business by creating trust, real-time transfer of information with highest standards in security.

To the readers, a suggestion from our end - Utilise the time at hand to learn a new skill or to see how you as an organization or an individual can function better, define or redefine processes, as this is the only time you have to relook at things & make necessary changes/upgrades. Time will surely change & when things get back to normal, you should be prepared for a boom!

At the same time, they could partner with a couple of global agencies to take on their project work. The experiences enriched team språk design a lot and allowed them to spread their wings into many domains and serve in different geographies.

In a conversation with Mr Munesh Jadoun, CEO at ZNet Technologies, lets discover more about the company and its journey since inception.

• Tell us about the company.

ZNet is owned by RP tech India (a division of Rashi Peripherals Pvt Ltd.). Founded in 1989, RP tech India is the fastest-growing valueadded distributor of IT and mobility 38 | July 2021

solutions with 50 branches and 50 service centers across India.

Growing at a consistent 25% CAGR YoY, the company offers products from over 23 renowned global brands to 9000+ partners spread across 750+ towns/cities in India.

ZNet is one of the very first Microsoft CSPs in India and right from the beginning we had one goal in mind i.e., to help enterprises to ‘Be Digital’. To enable digitization, we offer world-class cloud solutions on next-gen technologies with flexible deployment models, both onpremises and in the cloud.

Our cloud offerings include public, private, hybrid, and multi-cloud cloud models based on various technologies from hyperscalers like Microsoft, AWS, Google, and Alibaba Cloud.

Currently, we are also offering Acronis’ on-premises backup and disaster recovery solutions and Plesk control panel to our partners and businesses across the globe.

• What were the initial challenges you faced?

Competition: When we started our business, the internet industry was

new and growing rapidly. With so many different companies competing on prices and services, it made for a very competitive environment as all of these firms battled it out to get their share of this emerging market.

Flexible Customer Needs: As customers changed what they wanted from providers because more accessible pricing models were needed much faster than before to stay relevant but keep up with demand; customer needs began changing where flexibility became king- not only could you pay as you go monthly fees by resources used rather than be stuck paying an exorbitant amount upfront; flexible tariffs allowed people who couldn’t afford expensive one time offer to easily try things without fear that they would have no choice but wait until next month’s invoice came.

Customer Service: This might not seem like a big deal, but I think it’s worth mentioning. One thing we knew was going to matter in the long run was customer service. We stayed consistent and stood out from competitors because of our great customer experience, for example by providing “over-thetop” care whenever someone had an issue with their order or needed

Munesh Jadoun | CEO | ZNet Technologies help figuring something out via chat (which was available 24/7), this helped us as well when challenges came up because people knew that we were there to support them, no matter what!

• How have the company graphs changed since the foundation?

Can you share a few statistics?

Sharing the stats of the past five years only. This gives a fair idea of our growth.

• What are the products/services www.theenterpriseworld.com | 39

| Interview with The Enterprise World

the company focuses on? How are your services different from those in the market?

Our company mainly focuses on the following products and services: ♦ RackNap – The new-age, ultraintuitive, and hyper-growth platform for cloud service providers. ♦ Domains and Hosting - WordPress Hosting - Cloud Hosting ♦ Email and Productivity - Microsoft 365 - Google Workspace ♦ Servers and Cloud - Dedicated Server - Multicloud services - Microsoft Azure - Managed AWS - Alibaba Cloud - Plesk ♦ Backup and Security - Acronis - SSL Certificates We provide high-quality solutions to our customers at affordable prices. Also, we personalize their experience by making sure that they find the product or service which will meet all of their requirements! We have also started offering multi-cloud services which makes us stand out from our competitors while providing our customers with a single-point solution for their technology needs.

• How do you decide to take the company a step further in terms of your products/services?

40 | July 2021

We take regular feedback from our clients as well as to conduct market research for the product/service we offer. We want to continue to upgrade our services - whether in terms of improving our software UI or expanding our product line. For example, we recently relaunched our automation platform, Racknap and it is getting a great response.

are now the new business strategies. Now more and more people are using smartphones to shop, sell, search local businesses and share their experiences with family and friends. COVID pandemic forced organizations to make the transition to remote working quickly than expected to maintain business continuity.

We have also expanded in terms of our product offering like multicloud solutions. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, companies are now looking for hybrid solutions and we knew that a multicloud platform could help many small to large businesses manage their work with ease.

♦ The most important role of technology like the cloud is for enabling digital transformation which has resulted in creating a competitive advantage for the businesses.

Also, we don’t believe that we are the best IT solutions provider, so we learn from our competitors as in on what part our company is failing, and then we plan new strategies to ensure success.

• Is there any new addition to the list of products/services?

Anything exciting you would like to share?

♦ We are now able to be more productive, and at the same time, it has given us access to new markets by being able to communicate faster than ever before with applications like Microsoft Teams, Google Hangouts, Zoom.

The world will always keep advancing, and technology has played a big role in that.

• Can you please brief us about your professional experience?

The world is always changing, and technology has helped to shape it for the better. Technology has completely changed the way we do business.

One of the toughest jobs I’ve had to take on is being a CEO. It’s never easy and hasn’t been so far, either.

Sometimes you have to go backward to move forward--I took many big decisions when building my company from the ground up and taking it ahead successfully.

For example, I associated with other firms who helped me make an impact along the way by launching new products (like RackNap) or more about which we’ll soon be hearing!

♦ Mobile-first and remote working

I have faced challenges that most

We recently partnered with NTTNetmagic to provide managed colocation services. This will enable better activities for our customers.

• How has the technology transformed traditional way of business?

people can only imagine in their wildest dreams. I was able to learn how to make decisions under pressure, take risks and assess everything with calm when going through these difficult situations.

However, the one thing I wish you could know is that success does not come to you; it’s up for grabs! You just need a plan on what path will suit your needs best.

• How do you look after your employees? What makes your team unique?

Our employees are our most important asset, so it is our responsibility to keep them motivated in the company…and, I have experienced that for most of the employees, work is what motivates them. If we enjoy what we do, we will do our best even when no one is watching. www.theenterpriseworld.com

Paul J. Meyer Therefore, we make sure that the job they are in is meaningful and makes them successful. For this, we provide regular training to develop employee skills, recognize achievements and show appreciation.

I have visited our employees’ homes and have enjoyed seeing their homes and meeting their families.

• Is there any special experience with your clients you would like to highlight?

I would like to share one special piece of feedback I get from many of our customers. When our customers come to us for some IT requirement, we get to know about their challenges of coping with multiple systems and dealing with different vendors to set up complete IT infrastructure to take their solutions to the market.

We understood that our customers need to overcome these challenges to reach the market faster. We have always believed in becoming a onestop-shop for all cloud IT needs of customers but, now we have gone a step ahead and even incorporated IT hardware (via RP tech), data center infrastructure, colocation, and even IT security (via NTT India) in our portfolio. With this, our customers are now able to procure IT hardware, cloud solutions, complex IT infra, and cybersecurity solutions from a 42 | July 2021

• One person who you admire the most?

My father - My father was a school teacher in a village in Bayana, a small town in the Bharatpur region, in Rajasthan, India.

The most important qualities in a father are kindness, patience, and understanding. My dad is the epitome of these virtues because he taught me everything I needed to know and helped me become who I am today. He’s an inspiration for the dreams that lay ahead. He had great work ethics and high morals, he did everything on the earth possible or necessary to help someone out. He stays positive in all kinds of circumstances. He has been very emotionally supportive, and his teachings are my life lessons.

different. I used to eat and sleep at irregular hours and with my regular globetrotting, there was no time for family or hobbies. During this time, my business was uphill, and my mood was downhill.

Soon, all this started taking a toll on my health. Even when I was awake and working, I felt that my energy levels were low. Somewhere down the line, I started missing the sunny days, the breeze on my face, the enthusiasm, and the energy. I wanted to feel free again.

I decided it was time, I should do something for myself as well. Life should have something more to offer – I had the success, money, power, happiness, but I wanted more from it – the meaning of my being…

• It’s a rat race out there. How do you cope with that?

And then, I took my first step towards what I think is my meditation, after so many years.

Yes, you guessed it right! I decided to start cycling and so, bought a Hercules cycle. My first 6 to 8 months were the hardest, finding out time for a revived hobby, even for riding 5 to 6 KMS, was a challenge. But I persevered and started going out all alone – with my thoughts keeping me the company.

Life runs past the CEOs. We eat, sleep, and do all our activities with business and expansion as the topmost priority in our minds.

There was a time when I was no

Then I decided I should get into cycling seriously. I deserve my share of happiness. So, now I am only a part of cycling races, no rat races for me.

What is E-marketing?

44 | July 2021

here is a huge been a spurt in business ventures and start-ups, especially since the wake of the pandemic.

This calls for radical ideas and innovation in many fields, most importantly, marketing. The traditional marketing strategies and methods have been effective in recent times, but the pandemic and the norms it brought pushed the need for reform in the marketing industry as a whole. E-marketing has been there since the past decade, but the momentum has radically changed in the past years.

As the competition in the market gets fierce, companies strive to aim for the podium, and OLM (Online Marketing) can prove as a crucial advantage to fetch that goal. The population of netizens is on the rise, with nearly 80% of the world population seeking the internet for information. The Internet has become a rich source for Ecommerce websites and companies to reach the target audience and have a pan world presence. Another factor expanding the importance of E-marketing is the rising expenditures on advertisements, email marketing, etc. OLM has become a need for any business in today's time, if you still wonder, read on to know the good and bad of the same.

T

Any marketing is Good marketing?

Marketing has again come into the

limelight and enterprises are sparing no cents to win the race in the market. Some advantages of Emarketing are: - Wider Audience Pool Undoubtedly one of the best pros of E-marketing, a pan world reach.

Now an enterprise is working on a multinational level since day one.

This makes reaching the target audience accessible and costefficient as no physical outlets are required.

- Visible Results As every transaction, inquiry, etc. is done online, it becomes easy and accessible to track traffic, popularity, etc. of products/services. Enterprises can keep a track of sales, feedbacks, etc. all with a click, making tracking of business performance simple.

- Convenience and Connection With everything working over the internet, enterprises can work 24x7, and customers can access the same at their convenience and comfort.

This is a crucial advantage as it saves time and cost as there is less expensive as compared to offline stores.

Excess of everything is bad, and E-marketing has its cons too. Some of the cons of are: - Legitimacy and Clarity As there are a lot of websites, it becomes difficult to judge the legitimacy of the same. Another factor that gives the clarity away is ads that fill the pages, making

potential customers turn away.

- Specialization E-marketing, however easy it sounds, requires specialists with experience and the right skills. To get maximum footfall or traffic, one requires knowledge of SEO, SEM, etc. that requires specialization.

- Reach and Reality As OLM offers wider reach, areas with less connectivity, the elderly, and illiteracy are deprived of the benefits of the same. As online businesses run on word of mouth publicity and feedbacks, people often post negative feedbacks to put down the competition.

Marketing, making business easy?

E-marketing has surely benefitted customers and enterprises alike, but the question of its viability and sustainability remains. It is surely changing the new normal but also rising concerns. OLM is growing and tends to provide a platform where anybody can start a business of their own. This has brought a lot of products/services at competitive prices but also doubt on the source of legitimacy. The question of its relevance remains, as it dwells too deep into a person's personal space.

As nobody likes recurring emails, messages, notifications, etc. but where does one draw the line? This remains a question for enterprises and marketing agencies, whether they want E-marketing to be a boon or a bane.
