Some traffic types were especially efficient in Q2:
With the healthy performance of online brands in the first 2 quarters and the upcoming festive season sales, beginning in India next month, it is expected that the revenues will continue to rise. This period of extra customer activities will inspire advertisers to come up with various offerings and lead to more user engagement. Also, it will be interesting to see how marketers will adapt to these offers and engage with their niche audience for promotion.
