The rapid adoption of internet and related technologies as a promotional tool has made it imperative for firm’s marketing plan. As internet presence is essential for a firm survival, so it has changed the way of doing businesses altogether.

A total of 250 questionnaires were distributed, out of which 226 returned representing a response rate of 90%. Five point likert scales used to measure the response from respondents. Multiple Regression analysis has been applied to check the impact of e-marketing and its dimensions on consumer perception. We have tested five hypotheses for validating the result of study. ANOVA Table represents a model is good fit and predictors which showed positive and significant impact with consumer perception, were e-marketing, mobile marketing, e-mail marketing and web marketing. Results supported the analysis that positive consumer perception can be derived through e-marketing and its dimensions.
