NEW DELHI: It’s a net gain for the virtual world. Riding high on the increasing interest of the net savvy people, online shopping portals are witnessing a whopping 200% growth in the sale of electronic items every year. This is driven by the demand for usual suspects like mobile phones, iPods and MP3 players.
“Since electronic gadgets such as cell phones and iPods usually involve an individual choice compared to products catering to the needs of the entire family such as washing machines and refrigerators, online portals remain to be a preferred medium to buy electronics products. The trend is picking up not only in metros but also in smaller cities,” said MouthShut.com CEO Faisal Farooqui.
According to the industry estimates, the online shopping business is likely to grow by 150% to touch Rs 5,500 crore in 2007-08 from Rs 2,300 crore in 2006-07. Currently, electronic items contribute close to 20% to the overall e-shopping business.
Sale of electronic products is enhancing the revenue of the online shopping portals. “Electronics items contribute as much as 20% to our overall online shopping business and it’s growing every year,” said a Indiatimes.com spokesperson.
Popular sub-categories in the electronic category that sell most within the age-group of 16-30 include mobile phones, DVD players, iPods, speakers and MP3 players. At present, mobile phones and iPods alone add 30% to the overall revenue of Futurebazaar.com. The portal is witnessing unprecedented growth of over 200% in the sale of electronic items.
“Though music and books were the preferred choices earlier, the trend has clearly changed now. Electronic items, which contributed just 15% to the overall online shopping business two years ago, now contribute close to 50% to the total revenue,” says Indiaplaza.in chief operating officer K Vaitheeswaran.
Huge orders for electronic gadgets are being placed by people residing in smaller towns such as Guwahati, Asansol, Rajahmundry, Bhatinda and Ludhiana. While smaller towns contribute 40% to the overall online sale, bigger cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Pune and Hyderabad contribute the rest.
“The reason why sales are increasing online is the availability of the entire product range at subsidised prices,” said Futurebazaar.com senior marketing manager Rahul Sethi.
While cheques and demand drafts are the dominant method of payment in smaller towns, 90% of payment in bigger cities come from online payment channels, credit cards being one of them. As a result, many online retailers have increased credit card security on web.
For instance, Indiatimes.com uses latest encryption technology and other methods to protect credit card information. Customers place orders using SSL encryption (the internet standard for secure transactions). “The probability of credit card misuse is more at physical stores as on online portals the credit card number is entered directly on the bank’s website,” says a Indiatimes.com spokesperson.

Mobile banking
Mobile banking (also known as M-Banking, mbanking, SMS Banking etc.) is a term used for performing balance checks, account transactions, payments etc. via a mobile device such as a mobile phone. Mobile banking today (2007) is most often performed via SMS or the Mobile Internet but can also use special programs called clients downloaded to the mobile device.
Ericsson
Ericsson (Telefonaktiebolaget L. M. Ericsson) (NASDAQ: ERIC, OMX: ERIC B) is a leading Swedish-based provider of telecommunication and data communication systems, and related services covering a range of technologies, including mobile phones. Founded in 1876 as a telegraph equipment repair shop by Lars Magnus Ericsson, it was incorporated on August 18, 1918. Headquartered in Kista, Stockholm Municipality, since 2003, LM Ericsson is considered part of the so-called "Wireless Valley". Since the mid 1990s, Ericsson's extensive presence in Stockholm helped transform the capital into one of Europe's hubs of information technology (IT) research.
In the early 20th century, Ericsson dominated the world market for manual telephone exchanges but was late to introduce automatic equipment. The world's largest ever manual telephone exchange, serving 60,000 lines, was installed by Ericsson in Moscow in 1916. Throughout the 1990s, Ericsson held a 35-40% market share of installed cellular telephone systems. Like most of the telecommunications industry, LM Ericsson suffered heavy losses after the telecommunications crash in the early 2000s, and had to fire tens of thousands of staff worldwide in an attempt to staunch the losses.
The handsets division got a fresh start in 2001 in the form of a joint venture with Sony called Sony Ericsson. LM Ericsson is a major provider of handsets and an infrastructure supplier for all major wireless technologies. It has played an important global role in modernizing existing copper lines to offer broadband services and has actively grown a new line of business in the professional services area.
On 18 February 2008, it was announced that Aastra Technologies would acquire the enterprise PBX division of Ericsson.[2] This move has caused considerable consternation among Ericsson's partner companies.
Mobile Phone
The mobile phone (also called a wireless phone or cellular phone)[1] is a short-range, portable electronic device used for mobile voice or data communication over a network of specialized base stations known as cell sites. In addition to the standard voice function of a telephone, current mobile phones may support many additional services, and accessories, such as SMS for text messaging, email, packet switching for access to the Internet, gaming, bluetooth, infrared, camera with video recorder and MMS for sending and receiving photos and video. Most current mobile phones connect to a cellular network of base stations (cell sites), which is in turn interconnected to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) (the exception is satellite phones).
Mobile Marketing
Mobile Marketing can refer to one of two categories of marketing. First, and relatively new, is meant to describe marketing on or with a mobile device, such as a mobile phone (this is an example of horizontal telecommunication convergence). Second, and a more traditional definition, is meant to describe marketing in a moving fashion - for example - technology road shows or moving billboards.
Marketing on a mobile phone has become increasingly popular ever since the rise of SMS (Short Message Service) in the early 2000s in Europe and some parts of Asia when businesses started to collect mobile phone numbers and send off wanted (or unwanted) content.
Over the past few years SMS has become a legitimate advertising channel. This is because unlike email over the public internet, the carrier who police their own networks have set guidelines and best practices for the mobile media industry (including mobile advertising). The IAB (Interactive Advertising Bureau) and the Mobile Marketing Association, as well, has established guidelines and evangelizing the use of the mobile channel for marketers.
Mobile Marketing via SMS has expanded rapidly in Europe and Asia as a new channel to reach the consumer. SMS initially received negative media coverage in many parts of Europe for being a new form of spam as some advertisers purchased lists and sent unsolicited content to consumer's phones; however, as guidelines are put in place by the mobile operators, SMS has become the most popular branch of the Mobile Marketing industry with several 100 million advertising SMS sent out every month in Europe alone.
In North America the first cross-carrier SMS shortcode campaign was run by Labatt Brewing Company in 2002. Over the past few years mobile short codes have been increasingly popular as a new channel to communicate to the mobile consumer. Brands have begun to treat the mobile shortcode as a mobile domain name allowing the consumer to text message the brand at an event, in store and off any traditional media.
SMS services typically run off a short code, but sending text messages to an email address is another methodology. Short codes are 5 or 6 digit numbers that have been assigned by all the mobile operators in a given country for the use of brand campaign and other consumer services. The mobile operators vet every application before provisioning and monitor the service to make sure it does not diverge from its original service description.
Besides short codes, inbound SMS is very often based on long numbers (international number format, e.g. +44 7624 805000), which can be used in place of short codes or premium-rated short messages for SMS reception in several applications, such as product promotions and campaigns. Long numbers are internationally available, as well as enabling businesses to have their own number, rather than short codes which are usually shared across a number of brands. Additionally, long numbers are non-premium inbound numbers.
One key criterion for provisioning is that the consumer opts in to the service. The mobile operators demand a double opt in from the consumer and the ability for the consumer to opt out of the service at any time by sending the word STOP via SMS. These guidelines are established in the MMA Consumer Best Practices Guidelines which are followed by all mobile marketers in the United States.
Mobile Commerce
"m-commerce in its true form is the ability to charge an amount of currency to a mobile phone either by applications like Mobillcash or Near Field Communications,the amount to be charged is actually taken from the Mobile device's account or pre loaded RFID chip". It is a prime example of telecommunication convergence, both horizontal (it happens on a mobile device) and vertical (it can involve any product).
Mobile Commerce (also known as M-Commerce, mCommerce or U-Commerce, owing to the ubiquitous nature of its services) is the ability to conduct commerce, using a mobile device e.g. a mobile phone ( or cell phone), a PDA, a smartphone while on the move,and other emerging mobile equipment,like dashtop mobile devices. In an academic definition (Tiwari and Buse, 2007, p. 33) it is characterized in the following terms:
