November 13, 2007 - Leading Indian ad network Komli Media, has announced phenomenal results for its latest product - Search RePlay - which was launched, in Oct 2007, as the first online product to merge search and display ad advertising in India.
Makemytrip, India’s leading online travel booking portal, utilized Search Replay over a month and saw its conversion percentage rise 6 times over a standard display advertising campaign. See results snapshot below:

In layman’s terms, Search Replay resulted in more than 6 times the number of conversions for the same number of clicks. Designed as a solution to drive greater ROI for advertiser spends, Search Replay beat expectations for Makemytrip. "We expected this product to perform better than usual but we didn’t expect it would perform this well! We like Search RePlay because it brings us conversions from traffic that we previously classified as ‘lost’," said Gayatri Buddha, AVP Marketing and Alliances, Makemytrip.
