Advertisementindia.com, the brainchild of Lucknow-based entrepreneur Roopesh Agarwal, is a portal which has been a grand success since it went online two years ago.
The idea behind this portal is that one can book ads in Indian dailies from anywhere in the world. A truly unique idea, it tries to bridge the geographical distance through a virtual gateway, offering a dedicated platform to those seeking to book their ads in Indian national and regional dailies from anywhere in the world.
Advertisementindia.com has collaboration with almost all the leading Indian dailies and vernacular newspapers to offer customised advertisement solutions to people across the continents.
“Our portal books all kinds of ads viz matrimonial, display, appointment, tenders/notices, financial etc and offers all options to pay over Internet, including credit/debit cards, net banking, PayPal and offline payment modes for booking ads online in regional and national newspapers,” Agarwal added. It takes about five days for the ad to get published in the selected newspaper(s) after the payment is received by the company in Lucknow.
The portal also has the option for the user to create his/her ad on the website after the client has registered himself with the portal, he further elaborated.
“At present, we have around 3,000 members, mostly based in the US and the UK. In the last fiscal year, we posted a turnover of about Rs. 50 lakh and we are hopeful of growing by about 25 per cent this year,” said Agarwal. The parent company, WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) Advertising Pvt Ltd, is also into event management and has an envious list of national and international clients.
