Flow 1.0 to Flow 2.0 / the potential
Press release 1-2009; online display spend in The Netherlands
Let’s do the math…….
Av. 75% of total online display spend is booked by agencies = € 240 millionOnly 30% of traditional agencies’ clients book respons-/affiliate marketingLeaves the potential in The Netherlands approximately € 72 million
2008 Overall affiliate marketing spend was approximately € 50 million
So, in 2008 € 22 million was ‘lost’. That’s the first potential, second is growth!
*excl. Google which is expected to double that to € 320 million
