Businesses in developing countries face challenges different from those in developed countries. This calls for models that are robust enough to capture most, if not all, of the idiosyncrasies(Baikov, 2000).

Sid's Creamery will be benefited by advertising online. More people will see their advertisement and will be aware of their products. Online advertisement that is displayed in the search engines and web pages are effective. Contextual advertising is different from the usual online advertising that depends on the user's search query, or on the subject of the page where demonstrated. Contextual advertising is good that the site attracts target audience - visitors interested in the advertised product or service.

There are four major competitors of Sid's creamery and all of them have similar product i.e. Ice-cream. The pricing strategies of all these competitors are also similar as their ice creams are not differentiated more so that they could charge higher prices to customers. The product is distributed by franchise. The promotion and advertising campaign are little different. Some of the companies do not advertise their product because they are known in the market and are sold as per customer requirements (Golik, 2008).
