Consumerism is largely responsible for the growth of the Indian economy in various sectors. One such sector which registered explosive growth is real estate. But back then in 2008 when recession hit the country, Real estate was worst hit with people unwilling to invest in property due to high prices. The dark clouds that loomed over the industry for over a year hit them real hard but are getting back slowly with robust economic growth that the country is witnessing.

While real estate catches up pace, advertising and marketing budgets from the category has been witnessing a steep rise in the past few months to woo customers back.  The rise of middle class & young professionals with hefty packages makes them an important target segment. In the rush to seize attention of this audience, marketers are focusing their attention on digital medium as they spend a considerable amount of time on the medium.

ViziSense, India’s leading online audience and ad spends benchmarking platform has some interesting facts to share on the increasing interest and of advertiser and buyers in the online media.

Real Estate - Ad Spends Online ad spends (display advertising ) of the Real Estate category have grown over the past nine months with the first quarter of the current financial year witnessing the maximum advertising activity by the real estate sector which includes online real estate websites and real estate developers.
Real Estate - Ad Spends An analysis of traffic figures reveal that traffic on the top 3 online real estate websites has been growing since the start of the current financial year.

- This trend reiterates findings of one of our earlier report that Indians today are not shying away from using the internet for making important (high involvement) buying decisions.

Real Estate - Page Views ‘Page Views’ (i.e. the no. of pages viewed by a user on a website), shows that the no. of pages viewed in Sep’10 on real estate related websites has increased by 30% over Jan’10
Real Estate - Ad Spends (Split) Property Websites (eg. Makaan.com, magicbricks.com) dominated ‘Share of Voice’ over real estate developers (eg. Lodha) over the last nine months; however, the trend reversed in September with developers increasing their online spends

We look forward to the good times ahead!

Power of Social Media and Women Online

The emergence of Internet has changed the way media is treated and consumed. Back in 1980’s when Netscape Navigator was launched; it took them 6 quarters to reach out the then magical figure of million users as compared to the latest Apple ipad which reached the same milestone in just 28 days. This just shows the immense potential the medium has and the explosive rate at which it is growing. The global growth has given a strong thrust to India’s digital evolution too.

To understand India’s digital evolution further in to detail, we at ViziSense decided to execute a custom research that would help advertisers / marketers better understand the revolution that has changed the way we consume web i.e. Social Media and the biggest target group in the country i.e. Women. The report will demystify how and why Social Media is becoming the way of life while also unraveling the mystery that surrounds around Women’s Online Behaviour.

Social Media:

It needs no introduction; from friends to family to elders all are on your Facebook account or following you on Twitter. Your virtual life is no more private thanks to Social Media, besides we too don’t want to keep it private. As the report highlights, 60% of the Indian internet audience is on Social Media making it the most important destination that advertisers today can’t ignore. The report also highlights several key parameters from an advertiser point of view like the part of day when visits are at peak, time spent, revisits, user demographics, favourite activities amongst others. The report compares all this data between 3 top Social Media destinations in India today i.e. Facebook, Orkut and Ibibo giving a complete understanding of Social media scenario in the country today. All in all it’s a report that would just sharpen your knowledge about the Social Media phenomena in the country today for better exploitation! Women Online:

The second report that we are releasing today is about the behavior of India’s most preferred target audience for most advertisers i.e. Women. In India, women are decision makers for family, kids and herself so she acts like an influencer / catalyst and even decision maker for most purchases decisions. The growth and penetration of Internet in smaller and tier II towns have given women the power and access to the world of Internet like their counterparts in metros and hence has increased their awareness to the world outside. However, contrary to the popular myth, according to the report shopping doesn’t feature in the top 3 online activities for women, surely upsetting many. The report highlights the top activities for women across age groups, geographies and time spent. It also focuses on their behavior on Social networking sites and breaks it down in to different activities they would indulge in to on the Social web. The report also details out demographics, marital and employment status of women online. A must have for all marketers who are looking at different ways to reach out to women as it gives out some interesting insights which are unique and not known to many!

There is more to come from us in the coming months. Stay tuned in!

Earlier today, we brought you the official announcement of ViziSense MediaMix – India’s first online media planning tool. Based on our continuous dialog with the industry, we understand what a pain it is for media planners, buyers and even advertisers to go around planning an online campaign – Where is your target audience? Which sites do they visit? What’s the best way to scale up reach? I’m proud to say that ViziSense MediaMix is designed to answer all these questions!

Developed with the aim of delivering accurate and reliable India-specific Web statistics, the easy-to-use user interface can filter through thousands of websites at a time and identify only those that a selected target audience is most likely to visit.

Launched in a private, invitation-only beta, we’ve been working closely with the top media agencies for the last few months to develop this. We’ve received great encouragement so far from the likes of Tribal DDB, Ignitee, StarCom, NeoOgilvy, Publicis, etc. You can request for an invitation here.

Here’s how it works: Media planners enter their target audience demographics – age, gender, income, education, location and site categories. ViziSense MediaMix will use these filters to determine what sites this audience is visiting, including overall statistics on unique unduplicated visitors, reach, and page views. The planners can see their plan evolve as they pick and choose sites for their online media plan, and can even save, export and compare them for future use.

Here’s what it looks like:

A lot has been happening at Komli Media, all through the month of October. We’ve had reason to celebrate & HOW! Komli Media turned two on October 6th and it’s hard to believe that in a span of two years, we’ve grown to a team of over 70 Komli-ites working out of offices in Pune, Delhi, Bangalore, Palo Alto, New York and our brand new headquarters in Mumbai!

A surprise was in store for Komli-ites, as a lot of them were curious if we were going to celebrate our 2nd anniversary at all. We surprised the entire team, under the pretext of holding an oh-so-boring training, by taking them to Keeno’s Cottage for a fanastic party!

Team Gathers Around the Cake! Komli-ites Hurray!

The bash was set perfectly by the beach with a pool and a dance floor to go with! It was good meeting up with the engineering team who came in all the way from Pune, as well as our sales team from Delhi. With yummy Ferrero Rocher choclate cake and playing some crazy team games later, we were all exhausted from partying hard!

But wait! The Komli 2nd Anniversary celebrations didn’t just end there. We had to thank our clients too - without whom our rapid growth would not have happened. The Komli Media Anniversary Party was held at ‘Magic’ - a popular lounge bar in Worli. By 9PM, the venue was packed with the who’s who of the online advertising fraternity. Over 100 people gathered to join in the celebrations, and the energy at the party was just amazing.

Buzzing with Energy

We’re now looking forward to taking our celebration spree to Delhi! Keep reading for more updates on this later!
