After television, mobile has become most promising and potential tool to reach roots of Indian market. Mobile screen has attracted attention of marketers and everybody is now targeting mobile screen as potential marketing vehicle. Potential is tremendous and opportunities are unlimited; what is required now is knowledge of medium and strategy for success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us understand what mobile marketing exactly means and how this new medium is becoming so promising. If you ask me what mobile marketing is, I would say: ‘mobile marketing is utilizing wireless media to provide highly targeted and personalized product information to consumer on their mobile handset which results in generating value for both consumer and marketer’. I call it highly targeted and personalized medium because of the characteristics which mobile as a vehicle offers. Mobile is very important as a marketing tool because of its capability of generating value for both consumer and marketer. Let’s see how:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Personalization&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mobile provides potential for personalization, because it carries the user’s assigned identity. If marketers employ mobile devices for their advertising activities, they can use consumer feedback to customize their messages and offerings and collect information about consumers’ preferences to improve future products and services. This provides an exceptional advantage for marketers, since it enables them to reach their potential customers in a very individual way and thus increase the relationship with the user. Users are receptive to advertising that is personalized and relevant to their lifestyle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Interactivity&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interactions between consumer and marketer are most important for any marketing communication exercise. Mobile as a medium provides cheap, handy and personal tool for feedback and interactions. Consumers are more receptive towards communication which values their opinion. Also, mobile advertising can react very fast to customers’ feedback just like internet advertising.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mobile is not like TV, where you have basically fixed time slots, neither is it a print medium were there are limited space selling options. The breadth of data services is remarkable and growing almost daily. Here are the biggies, and a few options of how mobile advertising can be used:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;SMS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Texting is by far the most popular non-voice usage of cell phones, and for this reason many companies have started their mobile efforts there. You can use SMS in a variety of ways. Customer relationship management, Promotional offers, interactive SMS are some of these. Apart from these, marketers also use SMS to increase customer involvement by contests, votes and polls.&lt;br /&gt;The possibilities are tremendous but marketers have to be sensible about it. An SMS is very intrusive. If your messages are incessant, you’ll tick people off quickly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ringtones, Wallpaper, and other mobile games&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ringtones and Wallpapers are very efficient tools. These options are likely to interest most of consumers as they are actively seeking for such services.  It gives a platform for brand experience for the product or services you are marketing.&lt;br /&gt;Games can also be very profitable, though a key challenge here is developing a game that works on a broad swath of handsets. Mobile games appear to be an excellent tool for targeting youngsters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Mobile Search&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mobile search works much the same way as web search, placing prominent paid search listings. Mobile search is an ideal option for retailers because targeted mobile search campaign will surely give more return on marketing investments as mobile searchers are more likely to be ready to buy than someone using a PC. They are out and ready to walk in your door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Mobile Banners&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mobile banners are graphical ads, just like web banners. They are usually purchased by CPM or CPC. There are many mobile ad networks out there which provide effective targeting options. Targeting on mobile world includes: Contextual targeting, Demographic targeting, Behavioral targeting and Geographic targeting.&lt;br /&gt;Another thing to think about when you consider banners is what action you are trying to drive. Actions that you can drive are more promising and effective than those on webs banner. Some of the key options are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.    Click through to a mobile site&lt;br /&gt;2.    Click to call, i.e. when the user clicks on the banner, they automatically initiate a voice call from their device to the number. This will likely improve response rates versus communicating a telephone number that the user will have to enter into their phone&lt;br /&gt;3.    Email capture&lt;br /&gt;4.    Ability to send an SMS (text) message or (less common) an MMS graphical message&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Measurement metrics are impressions delivered, click through rates (CTR), click to call rates, Email capture rates, and the like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Full Screen Graphical Ads&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With technological innovations, mobile now offers options for lots of add on games and applications. Sponsoring such applications and games can become another option for your brand.&lt;br /&gt;Sponsored game or application will entitle you a full screen graphical presence on pre- or post-application usage. These within applications can drive users to other sponsored pages in the application, click to email capture, click to call, or click to send MMS or SMS.&lt;br /&gt;Because phone sets have different screen sizes, such full page sponsorships will likely require you to make more than one creative size for your message.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Own Applications&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With iPhone opening doors for application developers and Nokia jointly with Symbian working on doing the same in near future; days are not far when marketers will have easy access to application developers. A variety of developers will help you create an application specifically for your brand. Consumer receptivity to such an app will depend upon its utility.&lt;br /&gt;One of the key marketing strengths of building an app is the opportunity to create a persistent consumer relationship versus fielding impressions. User can use a good app on his phone again and again and which will offer hundreds – even thousands of brand interactions which marketers can leverage to build your consumer connection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Mobile Widgets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Widgets have grown tremendously in popularity, and a subgroup of mobile widgets is growing strongly as well. While widgets are applications, they deserve a separate discussion because they tend to be easier to develop and because new standards are making it still easier to create compelling mobile widget experiences. Some of widgets offered by service providers are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.    Local Search&lt;br /&gt;2.    Email&lt;br /&gt;3.    Photos&lt;br /&gt;4.    News&lt;br /&gt;5.    Sports&lt;br /&gt;6.    Finance&lt;br /&gt;7.    Entertainment&lt;br /&gt;8.    Weather&lt;br /&gt;9.

As per news coming from &lt;a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/03/02/flock-ditching-firefox-moving-to-google-chrome/"&gt;TechCrunch&lt;/a&gt;, next flock will be built on Google's Chrome platform. Flock has achieved 6 Million number of downloads and USD 30 Mn funding within 3 years of operations. Popularity of Flock as a browser is very low and it doesn't have significant market share; even lesser than netscape. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The reasons speculated for this migration are: lesser attention by Mozilla to develop this browser any further and ease of operations with Google. However, recent comments from Flock CEO Shawn Hardin reads like this on Tech Crunch: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;"&gt;I was responding to your email from only a few hours ago when I saw your article. It’s important to clarify a couple of things. We haven’t ceased development efforts on the Mozilla platform. Our upcoming release of Flock 2.1 is built on the Mozilla platform. Having said that, the browser space is heating up, and we’ve seen a variety of exciting technologies emerge over the last several months that are appealing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;"&gt;We always have and will continue to make architectural decisions that balance what’s best for our users and what’s best for Flock as a business. This has resulted in a healthy, growing user base and business for Flock, and we expect this to continue in 2009. In fact, with over seven million downloads almost entirely from word of mouth, Flock enjoys a highly satisfied user base with consistently over 92% customer satisfaction, very strong net promoter scores, and an average of four hours of usage per day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;"&gt;With a continuing focus on user-centered browser innovation, our team is in active research and development on a range of exciting new enhancements to Flock. It is still far too early to comment on anything specific, but we are very excited about this design phase…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31064756-2001394007923603736?l=tanmayms.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

[Source: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://cli.gs/7L86Rr"&gt;http://cli.gs/7L86Rr&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Usage charges for this comes around 5 Rs/MB. Of course, this is significantly high pricing and not affordable for large group of people. However, I would say that despite high pricing, 3G will find its usage in mobile telephony and will surely be a successful in India. High speed internet mobility is major problem for many of us and 3G is there to fill this need gap.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;While 3G promises various advantages and promises, its success will largely depend on various other factors such as:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style="font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;Long term pricing&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Network feasibility&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Adaptability of 3G services&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Quality of services&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How Indian consumer responds to it&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;As a marketer, I see lots of opportunities associated with 3G. Now a days, we hear lot of buzz about internet marketing, mobile marketing, advertising using social networks, blogs, microblogs and customer engagement through various applications based on Internet. Here is how I see 3G as major opportunity for marketers:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Internet possesses personal nature. That is, most of things you do on internet are personal. Be it your email, social networking sites, blog or anything else. Everything is accessed by username and password. The only barrier to this was non mobility of Internet! With 3G this problem will be solved and you will have access to your private mailbox, blog, photos and anything on internet wherever you want.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Potential is enormous, market place is changing, customers are responding and marketers are adapting to changes. Challenge is to tap the potential of this medium! MTNL calls its 3g services as "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana;"&gt;MTNL 3G JAADU&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;". Let's see what JAADU it does to Indian telecom industry.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31064756-6685704548279388714?l=tanmayms.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Consumption of mobile as media vehicle is increasing and it is giving thrust to several para mobile industries. I am talking about industries such as Gaming, VAS, Mobile applications developments and WAP.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Figures are showing that mobile has penetrated up to last mile. In India, however last mile penetration is still distant dream and it will take 3-5 years to achieve this milestone. People's consumption habits of mobile is changing and it is becoming source of entertainment, information and communication needs; suggests this article.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sm92AeoFtHs/SYkgXK2h7sI/AAAAAAAAA1A/a-cFQWvrTls/s1600-h/300_132364.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 86px; height: 162px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sm92AeoFtHs/SYkgXK2h7sI/AAAAAAAAA1A/a-cFQWvrTls/s320/300_132364.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298802019000250050" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;As a marketer, I would say that Mobile is NOT JUST another media tool. Mobile's nature as media vehicle possesses few distinct features. It has Personal nature - same as a news paper as. Also, It is Persuasive nature because of its multimedia functions. Targeting on mobile is highly effective because of emerging technologies. It is these capabilities which gives mobile a distinct identity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are motivational factors for marketers and content providers to go Mobile.&lt;i&gt; 'Rework your strategy to suit mobile and achieve good RoI by being present on mobile'.&lt;/i&gt; This is mantra for next gen marketing!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31064756-6280786962498376170?l=tanmayms.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

However, company reports that it is no longer ready to enter the market and will postpone the launching. This rescheduling is in lieu of current market conditions and company's strategic decisions. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Also, BIG entertainment is in process to start new vertical dedicated to movie marketing, media planning and buying and creative.

Mounting pressures, declining revenues and increasing competition in Indian News business would surely result in something good. If media houses manage to provide valuable news content and can sell it across various media vehicles, it would be great for E&amp;amp;M industry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31064756-8915515408976270830?l=tanmayms.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Company will merge its online portal with its Parent company CyberMedia India Ltd. CIOL claims to receive a monthly average of 10.5 million page views and 1.1  million unique visitors.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Company has 15 Major publications and 12 websites catering to various verticals of digital, internet, mobile and IT industry. It is also expected that company will go through several cost cutting initiatives as &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.medianama.com/2009/01/223-q309-ciol-merged-into-cybermedia-voice-global-services-to-be-online-only/"&gt;Medianama &lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;reports.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Here is snapshot of company's changing revenue mix for last year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.medianama.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/q309-cybermedia-revenuemix.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 338px; height: 123px;" src="http://www.medianama.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/q309-cybermedia-revenuemix.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Well, CyberMedia's publications are thoroughly written and provides valuable insights for marketers, managers and entrepreneurs. However, company's online initiatives doesn't seem so much appleaing. I personally believe that CyberMedia can do much more at this front to attract viewers. Let's hope restructuring results in better revenue generation for the company.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31064756-344257544970877709?l=tanmayms.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
