Antitrust Group: Business Plan and Website Yohoo! Joint Internet Advertising Justin Chiumenti Amanda Mirabito Alex Stockdale
Hypothetical: “Coopetition” • Yohoo! has 15% of search engine traffic. Biggest competitor, Likeus has 10%. • At a meeting, the CEOs agree to: • Provide links to each others websites. • Give reduced rates to advertisers who place ads on both search engines.
Hypothetical: “Coopetition” • Soon, 10 search engines agree to this deal, making up 70% of search engine traffic. • Business plan is from Yohoo’s perspective, trying to attract further search engines to the deal (“Yohoo! Joint Internet Advertising”) • We used actual Yahoo! financial results for Yohoo! where available, made up everything else
Business Plan: Mission Statement • “To organize and present the worlds data to our users -- how they want it, when they want it” • Yohoo makes money by displaying ads across properties: Yohoo! Mail, Yohoo! Messenger, Yohoo! Groups, Yohoo! Answers… • 4th most visited website on internet
Business Opportunity • Why log into 10 different platforms to bid on search keywords? • Centralized account to bid on keywords across all partner websites • Save time for employees • Reduce headcount in your internet advertising department – save money
Benefits of Joining Benefits to all parties
Major Industry Players • Mid-single digit profit margin in general • We estimate we can raise this 30-50%, and get Webwiggler in the black • Market share may increase at expense of companies that don’t sign up – visitors like relevant ads
Business Opportunity • Economies of scale – by using a single system, we can offer reduced rates on all websites • We already have 70% of search traffic represented – NOT partnering with us is getting expensive
Financial Projections • Yohoo! And Likeus are the first two to agree • As more sites sign on, market share accelerates • So does gross margin – economies of scale
Financial Projections • Expect Yohoo! to be break-even on platform in 2 years • Most major costs are upfront – programming • Variable costs are scalable – more advertisers, more servers • More sites add more market share, more revenue as costs drop • Expect to find additional synergies into the future
Financial Projection • Actual data from a marketing agency • Display and paid search ads are the two fastest growing – 20% and 14% in 2014 • Classified internet ads stagnating • Paid search about half of all internet advertising
