An overview of rise of ‘Request for Quote’ offerings by Yellow Pages directories April 28, 2011
Executive Summary 2 ,[object Object]
The failure of directories to offer compelling performance based products has provided new entrants with the oxygen to penetrate traditional iYP profit pools
This trend is particularly stark in the US, where the proliferation of new entrants is particularly rapid
Next generation directories are offering small businesses performance products and achieving 30%+ revenue growth
ServiceMagic is the dominant successful RFQ player in the USA with a $200m+ revenue run rate (with plans to enter a variety of European markets)
The success of ServiceMagic in the US has enticed a variety of players to enter the space – these players are growing fast by offering performance based products to small businesses
Some traditional directories are realizing the opportunity to play and win – using their sales force reach to offer new performance products to small businesses
Sensis acquired quotify.com.au, Australia’s leading RFQ player
PagesJaunesacquired Keltravo’s RFQ business to capture the small business lead generation opportunity
KellySearch acquired Approved Index to capture the B2B lead generation opportunity
Rogers Ventures acquired homerenovationguide.com to increase the monetization of zoocasa.com
Eniro is building their own reverse auction business – but starting from scratch and building your own is a slow (and risky) approach,[object Object]
