2. Why is Internet Advertising still so small? Advertising Expenditure by Type (2009)

3. Myth #1: Internet Advertising Market is still small because the number of users on Internet is <5% of population

4. Internet needs to monetize better No. of Users (MM) Ad Revenue (INR Crores)

5. Myth #2: Advertisers allocate resources based on quantitative logic

6. Advertisers haven’t seen basic rationale for advertising online • A leading auto manufacturer in India, stated that over 80% of their consumers & prospective consumers are online. • Yet, less than 3% of their budget is invested online! • What’s worse, that online budget is primarily to purchase leads @ INR 150 per Test Drive form filled up (for a 15Lac car) !

7. Myth #3: We can test the waters with Internet Advertising with small budgets

8. Every medium needs a minimum threshold level before an advertiser can evaluate

9. Myth #4: Effectiveness of Creative Strategy is the responsibility of the advertiser

10. Publishers & Agencies must invest much higher quality resources to build powerful campaigns online. • Advertisers must remunerate agencies in a fair manner to encourage such investments

11. Myth #5: Advertisers judge the effectiveness of advertising based primarily on data. Internet has an advantage because it is a measurable medium
