Yahoo's new ad campaign: Its Y!ou

Posted in Community :

According to me the campaign which is cross-platfrom, from radio, to television, to print, and other space as well will do good for yahoo and don't forget the social media. And getting a full page ad in almost all the leading dailies is an impressive feat. Yahoo clearly hopes to lure Indians away from Google and others in this area. Atleast Yahoo in India is already having a large presence, reaching 26 million of the 35 million online Indians in latest report from Comscore. And In an interview Yahoo India MD Arun Tadanki said “India is a promising market for us. India’s importance to Yahoo! can be gauged from the fact that our global campaign is first being launched only in three markets- US, UK and India.“

And the main focus for Yahoo is on making people aware that it’s homepage is all they need their one stop shop for everything on the Internet. I think this strategy will work for them.

Support "Yes" edit in rich text ... Submit Cancel Saving ... 0 0 Yes, advertisements in various media such as newspapers, radio and Television etc are good move as a result they can get somemore users who donot aware of Internet and online resources. By Dhana , Webmaster, content writer, ISC Technologies \| 10 05 2009 17:16:43 +0000 Edit \| Delete Support \| Oppose 0 0 Currently Google in all its offering, offers lesser graphic details than Yahoo. The only significant edge that Google holds over yahoo is it's reach and convenience, specially through its search engine. Microsoft did try to counter google with Bing but the initial response had not been too encouraging. So this is a second attempt to eat into Google market share using a rich, customised, graphic detailed mail through Yahoo. Though the new features will add to the shine of the mail service, but a word of caution is that currently Yahoomail is SLOWER than Gmail. If they keep on adding graphic features, it will take more time to load and will eat up more bandwidth (a point to keep in mind in case of ppl who use mobiles to check mails and surf net). So its interesting tradeoff between shine and utility that Yahoo has to craft to be truly acceptable to the mass.

By giving the moderation in the hands of users, Yahoo has done a very good decision. This will increase the traffic of YAHOO...

Submit Cancel Saving ... 0 0 If you go for average Internet users the two things he looks from service providers like google, Msn,Yahoo is: 1. Very good facility for sending and receiving Emails. 2. Very good search engine As on date in both these categories Google is streets ahead of both MSN and Yahoo.Hence unless and untill they improve these two products with some new innovative features , they will not be able to lure the user away from google. Hence first there products have to improve only after that the question of advertising comes into the picture.
