Executive Summary

The purpose of this report is to take a deep-dive into the online advertising market in India closely tracking the way in which the Indian online ad Industry has evolved. For more than four consecutive years now, we have continuously expanded the coverage of the report to include the newer ways of advertising through the Internet, such as social media and mobile Internet.

Based on our analysis, the online advertising market in India was valued at INR 1,750 Crores in FY 2011-2012 of which, search advertising accounted for INR 718 Crores, clocking a growth of 46% y-o-y from our last year’s report. Display advertising contributed another INR 595 Crores to the overall figure, contunuing to dominate the online advertising market along with search with a combined share of 75%.

The online advertising market in FY 2012-2013 has grown to reach INR 2260 crores, which represents a y-o-y growth of 29%. The share of advertising on mobile and social media is expected to go up whereas spending on display and email will decline due to this shift.

The top four big spenders on online advertising for FY 2011-2012 continue to be BFSI, Auto, Telecom and Travel athough eCommerce players spent significant amounts of money on customer acquision in FY 2012-2013.

Even though traditional media like television and newspapers still remain the preferred media for seeking information and entertainment and hog more than 80% of the advertising market in India, the Internet has been steadily increasing its share of the advertising pie. Spends on digital media have steadily increased from just over 1 percent of total Indian advertising spend in the year 2005 to nearly 7 % in 2012.

4. Types of Digital Ad Avenues & Growth

Display and search ads are the dominant online ad types today in India. Display and search advertising continue to dominate the market but other ad types are showing explosive growth albeit on a lower base. Spends on mobile advertising have doubled from INR 115 crore in FY 2011-12 to INR 230 crore in FY 2012-13, primary reasons being the proliferation of mobile phones in India, enhanced mobile Internet connectivity and increased need for customer engagement.

Spends on social media and video advertising also show 71% growth y-o-y. The graph below highlights the growth in the various online ad types over the last three financial years.

Note: Spends by E-commerce companies were not measured separately in the FY 2010-2011.

Figure 9: Industry Wise Spends (FY 2011-2012 & FY 2012-2013)

The BFSI, travel and auto sectors continue to be the top 3 spenders in online advertising. Increased spending by ecommerce players has been one of the highlights of the online advertising industry in FY 2011-12. Their share of spends is estimated to decline in 2012-13. .

The Telecom sector in the above two charts includes handset manufacturers who have also been huge spenders in FY 2012-13 with new models of smartphones and tablets being launched by players across the mobile phone market.

6. Search Ads: SEO vs. SEM Spends

Search advertising constitutes about 40% of the online advertising market and is an important component of marketing campaigns aimed at customer acquisition. Companies belonging to various verticals continue to invest in search advertising owing to its cost effectiveness. As seen in the adjacent graph, SEM i.e. buying or bidding for Adwords forms the majority of Search ad budget. About 85% of search spend is in terms of SEM which is about INR 723 Crores, as compared to INR 128 Crores for SEO.

7. Display Ads: Spends as per Tech Format

Online Display advertising has matured considerably with the creatives increasingly becoming more sophisticated and engaging. Long a staple of brand advertising campaigns, various technologies are used to develop display ads in the form of web banners containing images, flash objects or interactive media using audio or video. The images can be static or dynamic. In terms of Technology Formats, Display Ads are categorized as follows -

* Image (GIF/JPEG)

* Simple Flash

* Rich media without video

* Rich media with video

As seen in Figure 11, display ads using Simple Flash and Rich Media without video form a major chunk online display advertisements, each of them contributing 30% to the total online display advertising spend. Standard Images (JPEG & GIF) and Rich Media with video contribute to another 40% of the pie. Usage of rich media with video is expected to grow as we progress through 2013.

8. Mobile Ads: Spends as per Ad type

Fun, exciting and a newest interactive advertising medium, mobile advertising is a form of advertising on mobile (wireless) phones or other mobile devices. The Internet has been reinvented on mobile devices becoming smaller, more personal, customizable, and accessible anywhere on the go. Traditional forms of interactive advertising are therefore now in the process of evolving as they migrate from computers to mobile devices.

Mobile advertising includes a broad range of opportunities such as search, banner displays, messaging, multimedia messaging, video and advertising within apps. Mobile web advertising through banners and in-app advertising constitute about 80% of the mobile advertising market. Currently, the most trending form of mobile advertising is display, with standard JPEG & GIF images, Simple Flash and Rich media without video. Rich media with video is gradually ramping up in the mobile advertising industry, allowing advertisers to run videos on a mobile web page or within a mobile application – referred to as in-app. Other forms of advertising include MMS (multimedia messaging) i.e. mobile advertising that involves audio visuals, advertising within mobile gaming apps, videos and mobile TV. MMS mobile advertising is commonly used when consumers use tele-booking facilities.

A trending form of mobile display is to include the use of rich media within the banner ads. This includes banners that have the capabilities to expand, offering advertisers a larger space to communicate their message. Games can also be placed within a banner to make the user’s experience more interactive and engaging.

According to this edition of IMRB International’s primary survey findings, the mobile advertising market is distributed among the following types of mobile advertisements

* Mobile Web Advertising

* SMS Advertising

* MMS Advertising

* Mobile Video & TV Advertising

* In-App Advertising

As seen in Figure 12, the advertising viewed on mobile browsers or WAP forms 40% of the total mobile ad spends and mobile video & TV together with SMS and MMS advertising form another 20%. The remaining 40%, which is INR 92 Crores, is estimated to be spent on In-App Advertising, which is a premium form of mobile advertising especially on high-end devices like Apple’s iPad.

All mobile advertising spends add up to of INR 230 Crores in FY 2012-2013.

9. Form Factor Comparison: Mobile phones vs. Personal computers

Figure 13: Internet Traffic from Devices (FY 2012-13)

16% Mobile Phones

Personal Computers

(Laptops, Netbooks
& Desktops)
84%

Interestingly, mobile traffic is growing so fast globally that it is expected to surpass the desktop traffic in just a couple of years. From our outlook the primary drivers for such a ramped up growth are: continued surge in mobile Internet-ready devices such as smart phones, feature rich phones, and tablets; mobile devices with smarter technology, high mobile network speed, increased video-content consumption and last but not least, the high availability of rich media and more engaging apps in the marketplace.

Source: IMRB International

Figure 13 above shows the proportion of the Internet Traffic coming from the two different form factors in FY 2012-13.

A majority of the stakeholders of the Digital Advertising Industry are now closely tracking their online traffic for the device it’s originating from. Although a major chunk i.e. 84% of the internet traffic still comes from the personal computers - laptops, net books & desktops, the percentage of traffic coming from mobile phones and tablets is increasing steadily. Traffic from mobile devices grew from being 10% of the total Internet traffic in FY 2011-12 to 16 % in FY 2012-2013.

Mobile phones have provided advertisers a novel way to target affluent consumers, mainly through in-app advertising on expensive brands of smart phones. Since it’s possible to capture data points such as device type, brand and model as well as location of the user combined with the time of day, mobile advertising is emerging as the preferred performance marketing channel.

10. Social Media Advertising

Judging by the spike in spends on social media advertising from FY 2011-12 to FY 2012-13, it can be safely concluded that 2012 will be remembered as the year companies in India officially took the social media plunge, embracing Twitter, Facebook and advertising on social networking sites as an integral and crucial part of their marketing plans.

In 2013, these companies are expected to look forward and expand their investment in social media as understanding of the medium deepens and functionality extends beyond just marketing and community building. One of the major benefits of advertising on a social networking site (e.g. Facebook, Myspace, Friendster, Bebo, Orkut, etc.) is that advertisers can take advantage of the users demographic information and target their ads appropriately.

Social media has been the topic of many marketing conversations of late, and there’s no doubt that its popularity will continue to soar in 2013 and in subsequent years. Social networking has changed the balance of power between customers and businesses and forces more accountability and transparency into the relationship. Just a few negative comments posted on a social media website about a particualr brand influences consumers negatively about the brand and makes them uncertain about buying that brand.

Businesses today are increasingly aware of the fact that just monitoring their social media profiles and communities is no longer enough; instead they need to embrace it and make it an integral part of their strategy. Only then they would be able to truly establish a connect with the customer. Social media provides brands the unique opportunity to embed themseleves into the lives of the consumers, deeply understanding their buying behaviour and preferences and thereby, influencing their buying decisions.

The four main categories of social media advertising tracked in our report are:

* Text Links

* Display (includes Stamp Ads)

* Video

* Sponsered/Promoted Tweets & posts

| 14

10.1 Social Media Ads: Spends as per Ad type

Figure 14: Social Media Ad spends (FY2012-13) INR 300 Crores

We estimate the total social media spend in India to be an estimated INR 300 Crores in FY 2012-13. Display advertising captures a huge 75% of the pie, followed by text links, sponsored/promoted tweets & posts and video constituting 5%, 12% and 8%, respectively.

Social media spend has nearly doubled in last 2 years. Youtube/video sharing sites are growth areas where advertisers would further increase their spends in FY 2013-2014. They would do this by developing video content for various social media websites.

Source: IMRB International

11. Video Ads: Spends as per Ad type

One of the main reasons of online advertising revenues soaring high is because more and more people are watching videos online and the people who provide this video content are increasingly bundling it with ‘forced view’ (pre-rolls, mid-rolls and post-rolls) advertisements. Interestingly, this forced viewing has worked and it has also made viewers accustomed to the fact that if they want to view content for free, viewing ads is the price they have to pay for it, much like television.

Figure 15: Video Ad spends (FY2012-13) INR 150 Crores

The video advertising market is currently divided into three main types of video ads:

 In-Video Ads (expandables and overlays)
 Standard In-Stream Ads (pre, mid & post rolls)
 True View Ads by Google*

As shown Figure 15, the overall video ad spends in India in FY 2012-2013 was about INR 150 Crores, of which 64% went to in-stream ads while 24% went into in-video overlays. The share of True View ads by Google is expected to increase largely owing to dominant position of You Tube in the video space.

Source: IMRB International

*TrueView video ads give viewers choice and control over which ad they watch so advertisers are charged only when a viewer has chosen to watch their ad.

12. Ad Conversion Ratio

With greater bandwidth availability, advertisers today are trying to make advertisements that are interactive and engaging in an effort to drive clicks and conversions.

Since the entire industry is becoming more performance and ROI driven, it becomes mandatory for businesses to measure the conversion rates and analyze the consumer behavior better. Below shown are the conversion ratios of various ad types according to the findings of IMRB International’s syndicated study: I-Cube 2012. Figure 16 below shows the post ad viewing behavior. Emails, mobile and social media ads show very high view to click ratio (more than 60%).

Figure 16: Ad Conversion Ratio (FY2012)

Source: IMRB International

As per the findings, 67% of individuals that saw an email ad, clicked on it and 66% of those who saw an ad on a social media website clicked on it. The Click to Seen ratio for In-Streaming Video ads have increased from 38% in last year to 43% in FY 2012.

Post click behavior also tells an interesting story, with emails and social media advertising showing the highest conversion from click to look for information online (81% in both cases). Mobile ads have the highest Search to Bought ratio (75%), although it is difficult to say so conclusively owing to small base. This is followed by the social media ads where 64% of people who looked for specific information on a product have in the end bought that product.

| 16

13. Attitudes towards Online Advertising

In terms of the attitudes of Internet users to online advertisements, there emerge some interesting points. 50% of respondents felt that online ads were informative., while 46% said that they clicked on ads that were relevant to them, and 46% felt that online ads helped them find the right product that they were searching for.

Figure 17: Attitude of Internet Users towards Online Advertising

Source: IMRB International

Quite interestingly, 41% of respondents agreed that online ads had an impact on their buying decisions, while nearly 50% found online ads interesting. This goes to show that if advertisers are present compelling ad content that the online audience finds relevant to them, there is a sizeable chance of positively influencing buying behaviour and even driving a sales conversion.

Literature Review
Types of Email Marketing : Direct Email:
Direct email involves sending a promotional message in the form of an email. It might be an announcement of a special offer, for example. Just as one might have a list of customer or prospect postal addresses to send your promotions too, so you can collect a list of customer or prospect email addresses. One can also rent lists of email addresses from service companies. They'll let you send your message to their own address lists. These services can usually let you target your message according to, for example, the interests or geographical location of the owners of the email
Email News letter:
Instead of promotional email designed only to encourage the recipient to take action (buy something,sign-up for something, etc.), onemight send out retention emails.These usually take the form of regular emails known as newsletters. A newsletter may carry promotional messages oradvertisements, but will aim at developing a long-term impact on the readers. It should provide thereaderswith value, which means more than just sales messages. It should contain information whichinforms, entertains or otherwise benefits the readers.
TransactionalEmails:
Transactional emails are usually triggered based on a customer’s action with a company. Triggeredtransactional messages include dropped basket messages, purchase or order confirmation emails andemail receipts.

3.7MobilePlatforms:
A mobile operating system (mobile OS) is the operating system that controls a smartphone, tablet,PDA, or other mobile device. Modern mobile operating systems combine the features of a personalcomputer operating system with touchscreen, cellular, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS mobile navigation,camera, video camera, speech recognition, voice recorder, music player, personal digital assistant(PDA), and other features.
Android:
Android was developed by a small start-up company that was purchased by Google Inc. in2005, andGoogle continues to update the software. Android is a Linux-derived OS backed by Google, alongwith major hardware and software developers (such as Intel, HTC, ARM, Samsung, Motorola andeBay, to name a few). iOS: The Apple iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, and second-generation Apple TV all use an operating systemcalled iOS, which is derived from Mac OS X.
Blackberry OS from RIM:
This OS is focused on easy operation and was originally designed for business. Recently it has seen asurge in third-party applications and has been improved to offer full multimedia support. CurrentlyBlackberry's App World has over 50,000 downloadable applications. Symbian OS:
Symbian had the largest smartphone share in most markets worldwide about two years back. However, its market share has gone down in last couple of years because of emergence Android andiOSand lack of penetration by Nokia in smartphone market.
Windows Mobile from Microsoft:
Windows Mobile's market share has sharply declined in recent years. Microsoft is phasing out the Windows Mobile OS to specialized markets and is instead focusing on its new operating system and software platform, Windows Phone. Nokia and Microsoft recent ties up mean that new Nokia smart phones would mostly be using Window Mobile operating system

...CHAPTER 1: DIGITAL MARKETING 1. What is Digital Marketing? Digital Marketing is the new age form of marketing in which companies or brands use modern digital mediums like that of the internet. At its core, digital marketing centres around the extremely powerful medium of the internet. The internet can be used to “push” a message to someone like email, RSS etc as well as to “pull” content serving a banner ad & Pay Per Click search terms. Digital Marketing as a term has been around for too long but suffers from the lack of a clear & lucid definition. It does not include more traditional forms of marketing such as radio, TV, billboard & print because they are not real time & do not offer instant feedback. Thus the definition of Digital Marketing would be: Digital Marketing is the technique of promoting products & services using database-driven online distribution channels to reach consumers in a relevant, personal & cost-effective manner. Digital Marketing includes: 1.1 Online Marketing • Website Optimisation • Search Engine Marketing (SEM) • Video Search Engine Optimisation (VSEM) • Social Media Optimisation (SMO) • Blogs & Forums • Online Display Advertising • Email Marketing 1.2 Mobile Marketing • Messaging (SMS & MMS) • Mobile Internet • Mobile Apps • App Advertising 1.3 eMedia Marketing • Video, Audio & Content delivered via electronic devices • Digital Billboards Digital Marketing can be implemented in two ways: Push digital marketing & Pull digital marketing...

While some marketers are still wondering what to do and how to do it, others are moving forward – but oƒten with mixed success. HE RAPID DEVELOPMENT Our recent analysis of 95 Fortune 500 consumer marketing companies with product or service-related Web sites reveals that consumer marketers fall far short of leveraging the full capabilities of interactive media.
