AdFarm: Providing Targeted, Hyper-local and Affordable Solution to SMEs
Team AdFarm
Advertising landscape has become more competitive owing to increasing number of channels where it is difficult to target potential consumer who have fragmented attention and are loaded with many choices. To appeal to their needs, brands are strategizing new techniques to push for advertising campaigns across all channels, which is out of bound for small businesses given the investment constraints. Market reports say that the number of SMEs in India is on constant rise from the current figure of 51 million. However, limited Ad budget throttles their chance to establish their name and compete against big brands; they draw back from running their campaigns on diverse and immersive ad channels, vanquished of the opportunity of reaching maximum number of consumers. Perfectly understanding the market scenario, AdFarm- an advertising solution provider is catering to the advertising needs of small businesses, putting them on the level ground with big brands. The company is leveraging budget friendly DOOH solution.
Sharing his thoughts on the company’s DOOH model, Krishnan Naranapatty, Founder and CEO, with 25 years of experience in technology sector says, “We are trying to democratize the offline ad industry by allowing both SMEs and big brands to participate at the level playing field.”
The company provides its solutions through offline network of standardized connected Ad screens, placed in captive locations. The approach is targeted, hyper-local and affordable. “Now advertisers can run their campaign powerfully with ease and comfort, and we believe this is
going to be a game changer,” adds Sudarsan Babu, COO and Co-founder, who is also a serial entrepreneur with significant experience in Ad-tech domain.
Expansion through Franchise Model
AdFarm expands through its franchisee or local partner model, enhancing its reach covering large market share in tier 2 and 3 cities with ease. DOOH solution providers, predominantly focus their attention on public locations like airports and railway stations, with cost per impression method. However, this method does not prove to be effective as it is targeted at transit audience, making it difficult for the advertisers in the city to target or engage with the viewers.
