Titel Date3 Eniro’s entry…continued Eniro had two options: Build from scratch Acquisition of a major player However, build from scratch was connected with risks and difficulties, mainly the challenge in creating the necessary critical mass of ads and the time to market In April 2004 Eniro acquired Sweden's biggest Classified paper from Trader Classified Media In May 2004 Eniro launched a Job site based upon crawling technology Jobbsök

Titel Date4 Major reason for Eniro’s acquisition of Gula Tidningen The acquisition of Gula Tidningen, Sweden´s most popular classified paper, was a quick way to enter the classified market The acquisition supported and was in line with Eniro’s strategy - “connecting buyers and sellers”. It gave Eniro the possibility to move further up on the value chain and closer to transaction Eniro were primarily interested in the ad database, which was used as a base to build Eniro Buy&Sell. The constant flow of new ads (personal and SME) gave Eniro the potential of expanding and broaden the business online The paper was of secondary interest Early June 2004, six weeks after the acquisition, we launched a new product and a new tab on the Eniro site We were # 2 of ads in the database immediately and after 6 months we were # 2 in traffic In March 2005 we were no longer depending of the paper (as a source for ad placement)
