Is India Truly Ready for Some ‘Serious’ Online Marketing?

Mumbai, Maharashtra -- (SBWire) -- 04/04/2011 -- Marketers have always had it tough. Not only do they have to face the changing moods of the buyers, the mode of communication changes rapidly making it a fine balancing act to get the ‘marketing-mix’ right. Throw in a large dose of online marketing and you have the perfect dish for uncertainty.

Online marketing is part of all large brands today and the sheer number of tools makes it a difficult mix to create. PPC and Affiliate marketing are some of the tools in online marketing if harnessed well can give spectacular results. Of course, the downside is there as well where you spend big bucks and come up with a negative ROI.

A recent survey by IMRB state that 51% of Indian internet users click on sponsored links in search engines*. Similarly 28% of India’s web surfers click on sponsored links on other websites.* In fact, most Indian web users (38%) say sponsored links on search engines is their favorite form of internet advertising*. Considering India has more than 50 million active internet users* and the Indian online ad market is expected to touch nearly Rs. 1,000 crore in 2011*, this is not something marketers can afford to take lightly.
