Gartner: Telefonnetzbetreiber sind gut platziert um Werbeeinnahmen zu generieren, wenn Sie sich grundlegenden Herausforderungen stellen

If telecom carriers are to compete effectively for advertising revenue, they must convince advertisers and marketers of the effectiveness and value of their approach while distinguishing their value proposition from companies such as Google, Yahoo, Microsoft and traditional media such as television broadcasters and newspapers. By developing the skills to enable them to do these things, telecom carriers will also improve their understanding of the advertisers' perspective and how to meet advertisers' requirements, such as audience validation.

Although carriers are not credible players at present, they have inherent strengths that will enable them to fulfil their advertising ambitions. These strengths include their relationships with customers, knowledge of local markets, extensive customer databases, network control and multiple channel access. 

"If a carrier can execute its advertising strategy well and overcome the key challenges, it could move quickly to reap the benefits," said Mr Foong. "Carriers can expect to become an integral part of consumers' lifestyles when they can reliably deliver relevant advertisements to them. This will require closer cooperation and partnerships with other businesses, such as retailers, restaurants and cinemas."

Gartner advised telecom carriers to be persistent in their efforts and take a long-term perspective if they are to seize the opportunities presented by the growing online and mobile advertising sectors. Carriers need to disrupt the current distribution of advertising money between competing media channels and convince advertisers and marketers that their various channels, customer knowledge, analytics and network control features can reach the intended audience more effectively than traditional channels.
