channels, the dangers of sloppy e-marketing; how to present a business case for increasing
your online activities and the benefits – Sell, Serve, Save, Speak and Sizzle.

The SOSTAC® planning framework is used to structure the presentation. SOSTAC® is:

Actions – which action plans are required to implement strategy?
Control – how do we manage the strategy process?

E-marketing involves collaboration between different parties that can be characterized by
four main interactions:

● C2C – customer-to-customer interactions (best known as consumer auctions, but can also
be achieved as B2C and B2B social networks or communities)
● C2B – customer-to-business (novel buying models where customers approach the busi-
ness on their own terms or generate content to support the business).

SOSTAC® structures a marketing plan into 6 stages: Situation analysis, Objectives, Strategy, Tactics, Actions, and Control. In digital marketing it guides choice of channels, measurement approaches, and action plans, linking strategy to execution and control through defined KPIs and monitoring processes using the SOSTAC® framework.

What are the 5S objectives in e-marketing and why are they useful?

The 5S objectives are Sell (increase sales), Serve (improve customer service), Speak (engage customers), Save (reduce costs), and Sizzle (build brand). They provide a simple way to align digital activities to business goals and prioritize tactics such as email, content, or social media against those outcomes using the 5S objectives.

Which metrics are most helpful for measuring online customer engagement?

Common engagement metrics include bounce rate, time on site, conversion rates, and customer feedback. These metrics support ongoing control and optimization of digital campaigns and are typically tracked on KPI dashboards to show performance against objectives and guide decisions using KPI dashboards.

Companies typically consider transactional e-commerce sites for direct sales, brand-building websites to shape perception, and social networks or communities for engagement and advocacy. Choosing among these depends on objectives and customer journeys, and the product compares transactional e-commerce, brand-building sites, and social networks.

I need to run a short workshop to upskill marketers on digital planning—what agenda components should I include?
