The local advertising market is decreasing considerably, particularly in the traditional media. Kelsey Group and BIA Advisory Services predict a compound annual -1.4% overall growth rate, with the largest drop-off in local ad spending occurring in 2009. According to the study, the local advertising market will be smaller in 2013 than there was in 2008 - from $141.3 billion in 2008 to barely over $112 in 2013.

On the other hand, spending in Internet Marketing and Advertising is growing continually and will make up a larger percentage of the local advertising sector. In 2009, 12% of local ad spending will be digital (Internet yellow pages, local search, e-mail marketing and others).

In 2013, the Internet Marketing and Advertising spending will jump to over 22%, and might grow even higher. This study shows that more and more people are taking advantage of the benefits of Internet Marketing and Advertising.
