The inter-relationship is enabled by the creation of trust in an electronic environment (Chadwick, 2001) from where better IMC process and relationship marketing is being recognize and business operations is most effective when marketing is of strength beyond what the three issues can give to make business worthwhile. Aside, as indicated by Allan and Chudry (2000, p. 82), that the Internet is an excellent channel for communicating with customers on an individual basis because of its immediate and direct interaction capability.

The Internet has the advantage of being able to solicit such responses in real time and enables providers to interact with potential and actual consumers as well as enabling intra-customer communications. This interaction has sparked further debate on the possibility of one on one marketing (Caccavale, 2000) with view to developing strong and lasting relationships with loyal customers (Agrawal et al., 2001). Hence, interactive information-giving is essential as precursor to the transaction and be logical to suppose that the individualized and tailored messages/offers which are made possible by the Internet (Peppers and Rogers, 1993), the facility for better and stronger inter-relationship building. Chadwick (2001) suggests that the human factor in e-commerce is present in such communications from which trust can be gained, going as far as saying that “if consumers think they see signs of trust on e-marketing web sites, they will likely reciprocate with trust” (p. 657). Furthermore, people who wish to purchase using electronic marketing exhibit similar purchase behaviour to those who purchase in traditional environments. Having established a need, they search for information on products to satisfy that need. In today's environment, the trend is towards information excess, which can aid consumer's decision-making processes. Customers may use the Internet pre-purchase in an attempt to find unbiased information about their prospective purchase as found from company sponsored web pages. Like, information relating to the variety of products available, their relative quality and stock levels are important determinants in stimulating product and/or brand awareness (Luk et al., 2002). Indeed, most of the market-driven companies need to mine the data they obtain from customers as form of marketing research to better determine customer needs respectively. They also need to use click-stream data to learn how customers use their sites and why sales are abandoned and analyze the effectiveness of individual promotions.
