ADOHM - How did it start?
ADOHM, as a concept germinated when the trio Nishant, Kuldeep and Sandeep, the three brothers working at Nikulsan Digital Agency (parent company) understood their clients/manufacturers' requirements of high ROIs and seamless optimization of their businesses’ digital campaigns in a cost-effective manner. This led them to develop the AI-powered product which is poised at helping businesses optimize their digital campaigns, use ad budgets effectively and generate leads at an affordable price. “The initial people that we talked to were our clients which helped us understand what problems they are facing in real-time.” Says Kuldeep Chaudhary.
ADOHM - Name, Tagline, and Logo
The name ADOHM is a combination of AD + OHM. Ohm is the unit of resistance, the idea here was to remove any resistance that came in between while running ads and marketing campaigns. Hence, the name ADOHM. The idea was to convey that ADOHM makes running marketing campaigns as easy as using a smartphone powered by Artificial Intelligence.
ADOHM - Startup Launch
The techniques that worked the best for the ADOHM team were cold calling and Google Ads. These two techniques helped them gain a lot of traction and created a lot of buzz in the market through which they got a good number of clients.
ADOHM - Business Model and Revenue Model
The revenue model of ADOHM is based on a license per user for the Sales CRM and the Google My Business Dashboard. The Marketing Suite runs on Pay as you use, a model where the user can recharge a sum of money for their marketing campaigns and 5% is charged as platform fees for that out of the amount that is recharged. The licenses have 4 different plans – Free, Standard, Premium and Enterprise. The price of the licenses is based on the number of features required by the customer.
ADOHM - Startup Challenges
The most challenging part for ADOHM was to explain to the consumers that they are facing a problem and creating a need for a solution that will help them with their end to end marketing. “In the beginning, it was very difficult to make people understand what solutions we were offering and how it will solve most of their marketing challenges.” Added Kuldeep Chaudhary.
Another challenge for this venture was to manage the attrition rate of the employees as it was a fast-paced growing industry and the churn of employees was very high.
