- Description
- With developments in the Internet and Web-based technologies, dis-tinctions between traditional markets and the global electronic market-place-such as business capital size, are gradually being narrowed down. It is recognized that in the Information Age, e-Commerce is a powerful tool for economic growth of developing countries. While there are indications of e-Commerce patronage among large firms in devel-oping countries, there seems to be little and negligible use of the Inter-net for commerce among small and medium sized firms. However, many of these e-Commerce projects in marginalized areas fail as a re-sult of lack of the required resources to support ICTs. Different ways have been suggested for marketing products online and to create cus-tomer loyalty. This paper discusses a marketing and customer loyalty strategy through a real-time interactive negotiation application, aimed at improving the existing e-Commerce platform. The e-Commerce platform has been deployed as part of the Siyakhula Living Lab ICTD project which is undertaken for the Dwesa community in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa.
