In this assignment I will be using EBay and Tesco as my two contrasting
businesses that will help me to define and illustrate Internet marketing. I will
also give the introduction of each business, following the 7p’s. Further more I’ll
discuss what technique/strategy does each business use to promote relationship
marketing and how does each business divide their market and target them. I
will also use examples for each so that my point is understood.
