Abstract “While the Internet has become a wonderful resource for information of most any kind, we are now faced with the challenge of sifting through more information than ever before to find the precise information we need…a seemingly very daunting task.”“While economy is in a funk, food prices are up, oil is through the roof, real estate has collapsed, and credit is becoming scarce. We’re moving away from more traditional media, more traditional marketing channels and more traditional sourcing tools towards e-marketing and e-commerce.” Topics:1. The growth, the trend, the importance and the use of the internet.2. The difference between online source/e-marketing channel and traditional sources/tools/channels.3. What are the formulators really looking for while developing new product ? 4. What are suppliers looking for in an e-marketing channel ?5. Who is Chemidex and what can we offer you ?

Recession prompts rise in e-commerce and online marketing 15th September 2009 | Published in Internet Marketing“The downturn pushes more people to look for accountability and measurability. Marketers need to prove to their chief executive officer why money has been spent in the downturn and of course budgets have been slashed so online is quite helpful in this way.” said Eva Berg-Winters, senior manager and new media specialist at PricewaterhouseCoopers.“Everything we do online is fully accountable as well because we can see who’s read what, who’s clicked what, we can see what campaigns are working, what returns on investment, what sales, so that’s very important,” said Andrew Nicholson, e-commerce manager at events catering Sodexo Prestige.

Forrester Research ’s Answers to these three challenges: • Online media enable marketers to speak to key influencers and buyers directly and manage the information that they need. 2.
