Marketing has traditionally focused on the Four Ps - Pricing, Product, Promotion, and Place. But in today's demanding environment, marketers need to be focused on a new set of letters – the O and I of marketing - Online, Offline, Outbound, and Inbound. These letters represent the channels that marketers need to employ, and present new challenges for coordination, management, and measurement.

3. Inbound Interaction Scenario
Paul wishes to buy a new digital camera
He:
Is buying this camera for his upcoming trip
Does not know much about the technical side, but
often buys the most expensive product
Has taken advice about the right camera to buy
Has not received any advice about accessories
Paul visits an e-commerce site where he is already identified, and...
Finds the camera
Puts it in his shopping cart
The e-commerce site asks Neolane for a recommendation
The website determines that there is an item in the shopping cart
The website also determines which other products Paul has seen
Neolane pushes a personalized banner on the e-commerce site reflecting the
various information

4. Inbound/Outbound Interaction Scenario
Following the accessories offer proposed to Paul via
web banner
He receives an e-mail message confirming his order
And then an SMS to inform him of the delivery date
The e-commerce site then makes the 'accessories'
offers eligible to Paul
He will receive future promotional offers concerning digital
camera accessories by e-mail
The e-commerce site will not send him more than 3 offers per
month to avoid over-soliciting him
