Advertisement Business in Kerala 2012

Kerala advt. fraternity is seeing a sea change in advt. agency versus client relationships these days. More and more big budget clients are hiring fresh and existing agencies to handle their account side by side with the AOR. There are several new kids on the block. Surprisingly these "New Kids" are old boys in new skin. They were the play makers or ace ad men in top notch agencies setting up new agencies. Also big clients with multi crore ad spend is setting up their own agencies to handle the advt. design, ad making and subsequent media buying and releases. This must be a disturbing news to the ad agency world.

2012 Onam Ramzan Shopping Spree in Thrissur

I just heard that Thrissur City has come to a halt due to the Shopping spree of Ramzan and Onam this year. Even though it is raining since morning, people are thronging shops for their festival shopping. Ramzan is gaining more importance in the recent years in Thrissur. It is evident in the shoppers profile and the business class recognises this trend and make special arrangements for the Muslims. The purchasing power of Muslims have shot up and the current weekend rush in the city is proof of that. Ramzan Chandrika is expected in these days. Onam is slated next week. Rain is dampening the mood of both the shoppers and the shop keepers these days and the business class is playing it cautiously with their advt. spend. Releasing more B/W newspaper advt. and less Colour Advt. The Newspapers have added an extra print with more ads and less news to maximise their ad revenues. You will notice that Thrissur and Kerala based advt. is mostly in the thick regular print than in the extra where the Newspapers relegate the North Indian and MNC clients ads.

2012 ONAM RAMZAN Shopping festival in Kerala

2012 is a special year for all kinds of Businesses in Kerala. This year Onam and Ramzan are falling very closely and the shops are advertising over the board to attract Hindu and Muslim population. The great surprise is while every business house especially Textile and Jewellery groups along with others are competing to send out the combined Onam Ramzan greetings, the newly opened EMKE silks in Thrissur owned by a Muslim did not mention about RAMZAN in their ads anywhere. They say Onam greetings to all. This is evident in Vanitha magazine and News paper ads.
What will be their Logic behind this ??

EMKE Silks in Thrissur

Thrissur is getting yet another big shop for Fabrics and Ready mades. EMKE Silks have opened their biggest showroom in Thrissur with around 1,60,000 sq. ft. of shopping area. This will hit the sales of newly opened Jayalakshmi, Kalyan Sarees and the old players Kalyan Silks, Pulimoottil and Immanuvel. The Muslim customers who are majority in all these other shops will now prefer to go to EMKE owned by a Muslim. This will prompt the others to heat up the competition by giving discounts and shouting Adi Sale, Moonsoon Mega Discount Sale, NRI Fest and the up coming Onam Shopping season will tell who is the clear winner and the runner up in Thrissur.
For the advt. fraternity, EMKE have played it smart by commissioning Takashi Waltar for their launching ads and now Pledge for their inaugural advt. Thrissur advt. agencies are loosing the battle to new kids on the block.

Website Vs Blog Which is Better

Owning a Website is a fashion today. Companies create a Website and most of them leave it just like that. No update of any Products or Services after one year. Some of them renew it for 1 or 2 yrs and then  leave it for fate. Where as creating a Blog especially on Blogger.com owned by Google is a great plus for any Business or even an Individual. The high end and sophisticated SEO and other Search optimisation tech. of Google will enable your Blog to show up in the Top listings of any potential customer. I have my own personal experience of my Blog www.seeandoh.blogspot.com which is now seeing an average of 300-400 hits daily. My site only contains Design related content. No "alluring " Pictures or Text. We are ready to design, update and maintain a Blog for any individual or Company on a very competitive price. Own a Blog and forget your Website. This is the new mantra for the Business World.

OOH Designs for Jayalakshmi Silks Thrissur

Finally OOH Designs are in Thrissur with Jayalakshmi bringing our some Flex Hoardings and Bus Stop Shelters in which the Models Head is protruding out of the Flex 1 or 2 feet. Just a simple design. The Saree in a circular pattern is also projected some inches up from the Flex base. OOH which was introduced in India perhaps a decade ago took so much time to hit Thrissur. Creative juices are yet to flow on the OOH front in Thrissur.

Internet and Mobile Browsing for Services on the Rise

People using Internet and Mobile for searching services they require are increasing day by day. Keralites and Thrissurites are calling me on a daily basis for Design related services. This is a good sign for those who have Websites and Blogs and listings on Yellow Pages and other Trading Sites like India Mart etc.

The recent flooding of Smart Phones, Tablets, Fast Internet on Mobiles and Laptops are enabling people to browse for what they are looking for and send an e-mail inquiry or call directly the Service Provider. People were reluctant and they still are to look in the Internet for a Service. They will rather look in the Telephone directory or Yellow pages.

But now there are signs of change...!!

Copying of IP or Designs from your Website or Blog


I was surprised to see the number of hits on my blog shoot up like a rocket recently. It is touching 1 lakh 40 thousand views. I checked the Stats. Most of it was to search or copy the designs C & O ad-ventures did for Wedding cards and First Holy Communion Invitation cards. Also were for other designs as well. I saw some of my designs copied and printed here in Thrissur. It is easy to search on the Internet and copy the designs. Small time DTP & Design guys copy the background and place the photo and text on top of the design. Very easy for them.

Takashi Waltar in Kerala


Kerala's Advt. scene is seeing the invasion of this Asian Tiger. Malabar Gold and recently EMKE silks are their prey already. It seems this Tiger has a Muslim at the helm. But it has sent shivers down the spine of some stalwarts here in Thrissur ad scene for sure. The turf war is heating up. An American Ad agency is also trying to set shop in Thrissur..!! Believe it or not. The Wanted ad is doing the rounds. No wonder the big names in retail business in Kerala are competing to set up their shops in Thrissur. The ad agencies will also vie for a piece of the cake.

Thrissur Kuri Companies

Thrissur based Kuri Companies are on a Roll these days. They are the new kids on the Advt. spending block. Big time on Print and TV as well. Giving full page colour and centre spread advt. in Newspapers, Vanitha, Veedu, Grihalakshmi and other mags. Trying out all soughts of captions to pin down the customers. Some funny and weird like " No need to pay the Kuri instalment if the customer dies" How is that ??
Another captions goes like this. Rs. 40,000 to buy a Nano car or Rs. 5 Lakh to buy a BMW car. Sounds smart ?? An elegant BMW or Nano picture on the brochure...
The Kuri coffers are registering huge pile up of cash. People are happily walking out with cash in hand and fulfilling their dreams.
