One of specific points of the year, when Internet Advertising Trends go
through a change, is the festive season in India (occurring between
September and December). The increased spending, of the consumers during
this period, prompts the brands to go all out on advertising campaigns.
Since, most of the consumers have already shifted to the online
platform for the sake of searching and also buying the product in many
cases, Internet Advertising saw some of the most hectic changes.
Embedding in Price Comparison Sites
The price comparison sites have revolutionized the way consumers
compare the prices offered by various vendors. The top price comparison
sites include both online and offline sellers of the product. Such sites
see high traffic of users who are searching with an intention to buy.
Thus, embedding Internet Ads within such sites enables your brand to
impress users with an urgency to buy. There is no faster and surer way
of conversion than being visible before users who are looking to buy. Of
late, we have seen the Top Internet Advertising Agencies utilize this
with high impact Internet Advertising Campaigns.
Mobile Internet Advertising
As more and more advanced smartphones flood the Indian markets,
Internet Advertising is becoming simultaneous with mobile advertising.
When the desktop is becoming an obsolete device for staying connected,
the mobiles are the next platform for internet advertising. Thus we saw a
lot of publishers strengthen their mobile advertising departments. The
leading agencies introduced techniques like in-app Internet Advertising
among others to convert the smartphones into platforms which are
available 24/7.
Subtle Promotion followed by Aggressive Marketing
With the change in the primary form of medium for Internet Advertising,
the direct soliciting had given away to a more subtle manner of
promotion. The main objective of Internet Ads is usually to captivate
the audience with the brand name added in a very subtle way. With the
onset of the festive season in India, brands here have lost the veil of
subtlety and followed an all-out attack for the consumer’s attention.
Aggression has come back to the promotional activities, with the brands
not shying from taking veiled potshots at their competitors in a few
cases.
Internet Video Ads Looking Good
With 3g mobile internet services becoming a common feature among mobile
users in India, Internet Video Ads are now a popular option. One no
longer needs to wait for buffering, which was actually a primary reason
for the skipped ads. In fact, now we are also looking at even faster 4g
which is an even faster variant. Fast mobile internet services have
ensured that Internet Advertising is presently riding on the
easy-to-attract videos.
Localized Advertising Campaigns
One of the areas where Internet Advertising changed the rules of the
game is Localized Advertising. Due to the integration of maps and
navigation systems, the target audiences can be precisely targeted.
The above are some of the trends which have gained ground on the
occasion of the festive season which is currently on full swing in
India. Following the above trends will go a long way in making your
brand stand out in the online platform. The festive season in India is
the golden period for both the consumers and the brands. Consumers spend
the most during this part of the year and brands entice them with
discounts, etc. Thus, it is vital for brands to have a good online
presence during this time of the year.
