The Dot Com Era Returns
Summary
A recent article, "Internet Use Threatens to Overtake TV in Canada," highlights the growing shift from traditional media to online marketing in Canada?"a trend already established in the U.S.Article
The digital age is in full swing as internet usage continues to surpass television viewing, changing the marketing landscape. In the U.S., this shift is already a reality. An article by Thomas Mucha in Business 2.0 reveals that people are spending more time online than watching TV. This offers marketers a unique opportunity to reach consumers directly, as they're just a click away from making purchases. According to Gary Stein, a senior analyst at Jupiter Research and the study’s lead author, more than 75 percent of companies report confidence in their return on investment from online advertising. This confidence fuels spending across key online ad areas like paid search, display ads, classified ads, and rich media.
Although Canada's Ipsos Reid study indicates radio's decline precedes TV, this might soon extend to the Internet too. Mucha predicts that by 2010, 40 percent of advertising budgets will be spent on platforms like Google, Yahoo, and MSN, amounting to an estimated $19 billion annually.
This raises questions for small businesses?"can they compete if giants like GM bid for the same keywords? While the cost-per-click might escalate, search engines still need to index and display relevant websites. Therefore, professionally built sites will always have a place, urging businesses to establish their online presence quickly.
Google's dominance poses another challenge. At a Search Engine Strategies conference, Rand Fishkin learned that Google places new websites in a "probationary category" to evaluate them for six months to a year. Fishkin advises launching projects or holding sites as soon as possible, as the web will only grow more competitive.
As we witness the resurgence of the Dot Com era, it's different this time. Back in 2000, the market crashed partly because online consumer purchases didn’t match investment levels due to a lack of confidence. Now, a study from Jupiter shows that 73 percent of Americans have made online purchases, with four out of five responding to online ads.
This newfound consumer confidence signals that, while reminiscent of the past, the Dot Com era's return comes with fresh opportunities and challenges.
