Is the way we Search Changing ?

15th August 1947 India Goes INDEPENDENT; Exactly after 48 Years on the same Day INDIA goes ONLINE! It's 15th August 1995, when Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited (VSNL) launched Internet access in India for Public.

We moved from Physical / Real world to Digital / Virtual World. This was not done overnight. After every 5 years (4 times so far) there was major change in the way technology been used and with every change it was bringing new challenges for businesses to market their product & services DIGITALLY.

Major Change in technology and launch of social media platform every 5 year was making our consumers slowly becoming addicted to technology and social media platform.

Earlier they were only reading news paper or using radio / TV; now medium they use to get access to information is growing fast; Customers eyeballs are jumping quickly from one media to other in no matter of time;

While the Media reach is changing fast, the devices clients are using changed faster. From Big to Small, and from Desktops to Laptops; Tablets, Handheld devices and finally Smartphone and hence the scope of businesses as an advertiser increases; we need to reach on every devices they use & every social media or search platform they hooked-up to majority of their time.

There is no Free Lunch and so rule remain same for All Publishers like Google, Facebook, Insta, YouTube, Tweeter etc wanted you and the smart phone users all across the world to stay addicted so huge content been generated & In Turn Publisher / social media platform earns a lot of advertisement revenue.

As a business it is very important for us to understand What Really Changed? As it was rapidly changing the way we market our products / Service.

Generating leads from internet was getting converted from Free (Organic) to Sponsored or Paid Advertisement. It was Pay To Play or Pay For Visibility; or else your business & services are not seen to prospective buyer where they search. End Results leads generated from INTERNET started declining & Digital Platform we need to remain presence increased day by day.
