Generation x is the key audience for mobile web and mobile web is a large part of the mobile web users daily lives Surprising the 35-44 were the heaviest users – but this could be due to the cost of access and phones – also they may have business phones
There are key differences between Men and women in terms of access with men having a preference for news, information and sport before social networking……but for women this is the second most key factor after using the mobile web to find information
Despite the overall Gender divide……the key factor here amongst the age groups is the youngsters are hugely driven by social networking… 35 – 54 news and information
No surprises here the motivations for web use are pretty similiar………but as the functionality and access is much better people are using their phones to access the web much more…
Your phone is part of you….you do not want to be “called to action” and see it as intrusive if you get ads or messages from Brands Interesting that the mobile phone may be a way to get interest, but consumers are not ready yet to take action on their phones. When looking to do a promotion on the phone, companies must ensure that there is a method for the consumer to take action on their PC Younger people are more open to this new medium
However, here we can see that, if there is a call to action you would welcome it. but it doesn’t improve your relationship to that brand anymore… A third of people would find it intrusive, so care must be taken when creating mobile campaigns.
Ecomerce at the moment is not a key motivator to people as we have alraady seen…it is all about information and hence..people do not see the mobile web as the way in which they want to purchase goods…….this is a key difference between PC web……… This work to be done to change consumers mind set with over 40% still not wanting to
Its all about information – the key one here is about finding information about local services……..and not about buying pizza, or using your phone as a payment device!
Large totals here from previous studies back this up…..that people are not interested in purchasing on their phones……..at the moment! 1000 respondents April 2008
Its always nice to ask people nevertheless……if you did buy what would you consider……. People need to trust who they are buying from – either a well known brand or someone they already have a relationship with online. Just offering good prices may not be enough to convince them April 2008
Here European research across the big 3 markets suggests the main thing people want from their mobiles is Sat Nav…. Interesting the new Google Mobile app that may replace a lot of Sat navs Security is always a concern and having too much information on their phone is in the abck of consumers minds 1000 Respondents Sept 2008
