Background and Problem Discussion
:
According to Paulina, George and Nikolaos 
2007, companies still fall short of their target, despite advancements in ICT 
marketing. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) like CRM, ERP and 
Intranet are considered important for creating competitive advantage. Despite their 
rapid deployment rates, only a few studies mainly from the information technology 
(IT) and engineering literature have been devoted in uncovering the factors that 
influence the diffusion of new information technologies and their proper use within an 
organization. Similarly, empirical studies regarding the impact of ICT diffusion and 
their proper use in organizations seem limited.
A research by Butler 1995, indicated that the increasing popularity of the Internet as a 
business tool can be attributed to its current size and prospected growth, as well as 
its attractive demographics. The Internet's potential to provide an efficient channel for 
advertising and marketing efforts is overwhelming, and yet no one is really sure how 
to use the Internet for these activities.
Even in advanced economies, for example, Canada, mobile marketing is still an 
emerging technology (Kinetix Media Communications – (Accessed 16/03/08). 
In an attempt to fill this research void, the study examined the implementation of ICT 
tools within marketing-related functions. By providing answers to focus questions 
using empirical methods (questionnaires and interviews), the study tries to discover 
the consequences of ICT diffusion in these functions. The findings would provide 
another insight into the use of ICT tools in marketing as well as their impact on 
organizations. 
Purpose
:
Looking at the motivation above it becomes obvious that companies are 
still not able to practice - to a high advantage, the use of ICT in marketing. What the 
study seeks to see, is the use of ICT in the selected companies in terms of whether 
they use it basically/extensively, which tool of ICT is used more (internet, or mobile 
phones) and why, and the positive impact it may have had on the value of the 
company in general. 
Method
:
Theoretical and empirical analysis were basically used (questionnaires and 
interviews). Questionnaires were drawn up and administered in selected companies. 
The data that were collected seek to answer such questions as below. 
ii


Data that were collected related to the internet (websites and E-mail 
marketing)/mobile phone use (sms and mms marketing) and came in form of 
questions like – how often is the website updated?, how fast on an average does the 
website download?, how is the design of the website perceived (whether plain, 
navigation friendly, high design? etc. Similar questions were asked about mobile 
phones.
Theory
:
The theory section in the literature review looked at different methods and 
techniques used in delivering and evaluating the use of ICT in marketing, in terms of 
internet use and mobile phone use. This will also seek to use available literature to 
throw more light into better more informed use of the mentioned medium in ICT. The 
literature also related the importance of internet and mobile phone marketing to CRM 
in terms of eCRM (electronic customer relationship management).
