Paintads – Online Marketplace for Advertising Spaces

By Manish Hada on November 13, 2015 4 Comments / 2540 views

Hello,

I am Manish Hada and after winding up my previous venture, I am again starting up.

Paintads is an online marketplace for ad-spaces in India. We aim to connect advertisers with ad space owners. Advertisers would get to search for the best, most suitable options where they can advertise. Space owners will get better visibility for the spaces they own. We aim to cover not only the conventional ad spaces like newspapers, radio, television, but also the non-conventional ad spaces such as areas within gymnasiums, hospitals, hotels, restaurants, PGs, play schools etc.

Our Mission: To be the first option one thinks of when wanting to advertise

Our Vision: To be the “Housing of the Advertising Space”

We are targeting Gurgaon as of now. We have tied with over 1,000 spaces in Gurgaon and are increasing our tie ups on a daily basis. The website is going live by the end of November and we would look to get some traction once its live. Also data we will uploading has been collected and verified by us physically.

Currently the product is in development stage. Would love to get some feedback on the idea. Also we are looking at co-founders who are passionate about this space.

Cheers,

Manish

Have you contacted the agencies?

Why will an advertiser not work with a Madison Outdoor vs. you?

What are the services you provide? Who negotiates deals (which is REALLY the reason why agencies exist) and planning

Hi Alok,

Thanks for the questions.

We have contacted a couple of agencies and will be contacting all of them once we go live with our beta in December 2015. We are not competing with agencies. Will will be asking the agencies to list their spaces with us as well. We are merely an information provider and a tool to connect advertisers and space owners.

An advertiser would get a host of options on Paintads and hence would prefer to get information before identifying what to do. In the case of larger corporates which have hired an agency, the agency would use the information on our portal to satisfy the client.

We are looking to grow Paintads in a phased out manner. We are currently looking to purely be an information portal and aim to provide a comprehensive listing of ad spaces. Going forward, we will look to become part of the transaction.

Cheers.

Seems the website is not ready yet! I wanted to see how can I search available spaces against certain features such as: close to school, close to airport, size of the space and of course price.

Mapping all available spaces to your system would play a major role – how are you doing that?

Hi Saikat,

Thanks for your reply.

We are doing all of the above. Will send you a link once we are live.

Cheers.
