The new media (internet) has changed the way of transaction process, even buyer and seller behavior. Therefore marketing concept has changed and it has to be adapted to online situations.

Elements of the mix are combination of traditional and modern components that are: product, price, place, information gathering, communication, and branding. PLC has four stages and we define that customer maturity has three phases regarding to fuzzy logic. Therefore, in this model, we examine 12 boxes derived of multiplication of four and three.
