Yandex Opens Its First Regional Sales Office

Ekaterinburg, March 18, 2009. Yandex opens a sales office in Ekaterinburg. The regional commercial office will concentrate on promoting Yandex’s advertising products both through partners and directly to consumers.

Currently, online audience in the regions is growing faster than in Moscow or Saint Petersburg. Urals has become the first region in Russia, after the two capitals, where Yandex will be selling advertising locally.

“Urals is ahead of other regions in terms of internet penetration and usage of Yandex search,” says Yandex CCO Alexei Tretyakov. “Text-based advertising converts people looking for goods online into paying clients. In fact, we offer companies an opportunity to build their own online sales channels leveraging existing online search demand for products and services.. An opportunity to increase sales at minimal costs is especially important under the economic crisis conditions, and we are determined to reach every local company explaining the advantages of text-based advertising.”

Currently, in Ekaterinburg alone there are 10 authorized Yandex partners, and for the Urals their number exceeds 60.

The new sales office is next door to Yandex’s development office in the Urals at: Ekaterinburg, Gagarin Street, 8, Office 606.
