From the Paper:

"Every year companies spend an unbelievable amount of money on Internet advertising in order to further their sales (Taylor 45). IBM's new e-business advertising campaign has cost the company over 75 million dollars. The ads will feature IBM Global Services Employees who are helping companies succeed in the fast changing e-business environment. Aside from advertising on the Internet, they will also implement a direct marketing series, as well as showcase announcement programs (Cox 1). This kind of "go-for-broke" advertising campaign can be extremely risky. Several companies who have attempted this have failed and been forced to shut down. Despite the risks, many Internet e-tailers are still using over 60 percent of their annual incomes to fund this kind of advertising campaign (Taylor 46). If these campaigns are correctly planned and executed, then the investment can provide a substantial return for the business (Rossetti 30)."
