UK mobile advertising industry growth strong
Two recent reports on the UK's mobile advertising industry show that, despite marketers cutting budgets and global financial distress, both the number of advertisers and the amount being spent is higher than previously expected.
According to a report in ClickZ, comScore's M:Metrics has released figures that show a marked increase in the number of UK advertisers running mobile banner ad campaigns in the last six months.
The number of advertisers has risen 45% to 195, found comScore. "It's a nice upward movement. The majority of campaigns are still run on a trial basis, but we're starting to see repeat buys," said comScore analyst Alistair Hill.
Recently released figures from Internet Advertising Bureau/PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP research echo comScore's, but in terms of spending, not advertisers. As more firms dipped their toes into the new medium spending increased in 2008 by an impressive 99.2% to $44 million, driven in part by larger audiences, better handsets and increased mobile Internet use.
"Mobile advertising has shown impressive, steady growth throughout 2008 in an overall declining advertising market. The mobile phone has become our constant companion and its ability to meet consumers' growing demands for accessing entertainment and information on the move has attracted advertisers," said Eva Berg-Winters, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
"The way has been paved by online advertising, which combined with the rapid uptake in mobile internet usage, will ensure it becomes a very powerful advertising medium over the next few years."

Interesting! In the past, offline media was one of the major mediums to promote one’s business and brand awareness. However, with the increasing popularity of the online media and its positive results, more people are turning to online marketing techniques to build a strong business presence across the globe. There are several online marketing strategies we can use for our Internet marketing solutions, but SEO (search engine optimization) today has taken a stance much ahead of any other technique. SEO brings with it tremendous scope for business improvement with improved keyword positioning, improved ranking and overall increase in the ROI and cuts down on the PPC cost extensively in the long run. This is a proven marketing solution if done the right way using the right techniques based on your website requirements. I thought this information would be helpful for those who wish to promote their website and get great results.
