Quote from FT.com
April 13, 2015 effective world Group | Online Marketing in Iran 10
With a tech-savvy young population – 70 per cent of Iranians are under 35 – the country’s internet and mobile phone penetration rates are among the highest in the Middle East at 55 and 126 per cent, respectively. An efficient local debit card system has boosted public trust in online payments in recent years.

Four Recommendations for Iran
1. Start with a Low-Budget SEA Campaign
April 13, 2015 effective world Group | Online Marketing in Iran 13
Due to payment issues and the declining value of the IRR versus USD, there is almost no competition over popular keywords in CPC programs.
With a well-designed campaign you can expect to pay less than 50 Cents per click for keywords for which you would usually have to pay over $5 per click.
2. Connect with Your Customers
April 13, 2015 effective world Group | Online Marketing in Iran 14
Internet access is severely censored by the government, but Iranian surfers can easily access blocked content using VPN.
They actively check their Facebook and Twitter accounts and share their feelings on these platforms. You therefore need to manage your accounts on popular social media websites as well as on local ones.
3. Emphasize Your Global Leadership Status
April 13, 2015 effective world Group | Online Marketing in Iran 15
Iranians like to do business with leading companies and to use high quality services and products.
Focus on your global presence and highlight this in your marketing messages.
4. Banner Advertising on Popular Websites
April 13, 2015 effective world Group | Online Marketing in Iran 16
Iranians are curious about politics and like to be updated on world issues. Do not forget to reserve your placement on the top Iranian news channels. Nevertheless, choose carefully. Almost all the popular news websites are connected in some way to a political party and you need to make sure the majority of your target audience belongs to the appropriate group, otherwise you might harm your image significantly.
