Abstract: In modern societies, internet has become 'the key to success' for businesses, as it offers various advantages and benefits in e-commerce through e-marketing. The case of Greece was selected, as there are many enterprises in the food and drinks sector that have already created a web presence in various stages of maturity. This paper studies the use of e-marketing criteria in e-market places in the internet that support e-commerce activities referring to modern network applications and ways of promotion and function of enterprises. Therefore, the paper aims to optimise and evaluate them qualitatively and quantitatively according to six e-marketing criteria using the multicriteria method of PROMETHEE II and further to classify them in groups. Finally we can identify and describe the optimum group of e-market places to be used as a model for designers of websites promoting e-commerce activities within the wider area of food and drinks with enhanced customer communication services.

Keywords: electronic commerce; e-commerce; PROMETHEE II method; e-business; food and drinks products; website activities; e-marketplaces; optimisation; customer communication; multicriteria analysis; e-marketing criteria; Greece; electronic business; electronic marketing; internet marketing; online marketing.
