Mobile Research
How Neuroscience Is Being Used To Power Better Mobile Content
A neuromarketing study from Salesbrain and Facebook has shown that mobile advertising can make a major impact in the areas of attention and positive emotion. Helen Crossley of Facebook stated, ‘Our personal relationships with our mobile devices are having an impact on how our brain perceives messages on those devices, which is good news for marketers because the trend toward more personalized devices and experiences is here to stay even if the screens are getting smaller.’
She states that Facebook ‘recently commissioned Salesbrain to research how people view the same ads on TV and smartphones differently. Marketers are very familiar with TV advertising formats—TV has been the dominant advertising medium for decades and as such our understanding of consumers and their interactions with TV are quite robust. However, in terms of mobile advertising, many advertisers were asking us how they should think about the small screen. So, how is the viewing experience different between the two? We set out to answer that question by using neuromarketing which directly measures the brain’s response to stimulus. We measured attention, distraction, cognitive load and emotional responses to the same ads on TV and mobile, and the results were surprising. We found that the small screen—the mobile screen—is not so small as it packs a powerful punch when it comes to the measures of attention and positive emotions in particular.’ While may felt ‘the bigger the screen the bigger the emotional impact, that didn’t turn out to be the case. We actually found that people feel more positively toward the same advertisement shown on a mobile device versus on television.’
She continued, ‘Our personal relationships with our mobile devices are having an impact on how our brain perceives messages on those devices, which is good news for marketers because the trend toward more personalized devices and experiences is here to stay even if the screens are getting smaller, or as you suggest, even disappearing. Bad stories and ads do not magically become good ones if you simply change the device on which they are shown.’
Crossly continued, ‘Neuroscience is an emerging field in consumer insights, and when done well, it allows us to truly understand volunteers’ reactions to advertising. When researchers measure the neurological reactions of consumers, the brain doesn’t lie or tell them something it thinks they want to hear. As researchers, we may not understand why we see certain behaviors or patterns, which is where surveys can help to fill in some gaps. We can also use analytics to further validate hypotheses and understand patterns across people which may not be possible with traditional research techniques.’ Credit: Simone Spilka, of PSFK LABS, conducted the interview with Crossly (http://bit.ly/1M2emJ1).
Integrated Marketing Research
Millennials Are Cautious, Tech-Savvy Savers
Recovering from the Great Recession has been tough for many, and 57% of Americans reported feeling like they were still in a recession as of the second quarter. According to Nielsen Research, Millennials have been hit particularly hard by the recent turbulence in the economy, but roughly 70% believe their personal finances will be either good or excellent in the next year. They’ve also got their eyes on the future, as they’re most likely to put extra money into savings after they cover their living expenses.
Millennials, defined by Nielsen as consumers born between 1977 and 1995, now account for 24% of the U.S. population. The group is 77 million strong, define themselves by their use of technology, and many have adopted a DIY approach to managing their finances. And when we look at the striations within the Millennial generation, upscale Millennials (those earning more than $75,000/year) represent a notable pocket of opportunity for financial services providers.
Roughly 27% of Millennials fall into the upscale subset, and 15% of them actually earn more than $100,000 per year. In addition to their high incomes, upscale Millennials have amassed significantly more wealth than the overall generation. In fact, the median liquid wealth value (income producing assets) among upscale Millennials is $157,000, which is more than 11 times that of the generation as a whole.
Upscale Millennials are actively engaged in saving for the future. According to Nielsen Financial Track, these consumers are more than twice as likely as the average consumer to have variable-rate interest money market accounts and CD accounts. They’re also actively saving for retirement, as they’re 60% more likely than the average consumer to have an IRA and 87% more likely than the average consumer to have a 401(k) plan.
It’s also no secret that Millennials are active technology users. About 92% of Millennials own smartphones and roughly 61% own tablets. And because of their connection with technology, Millennials are more likely than the average consumer to bank on their PCs, smartphones and tablets, especially when making trades, opening new accounts, conducting research and making remote deposits. Upscale Millennials are even more engaged with tech for their financial needs, as they’re even more likely than their generation as a whole to conduct their primary banking activities online.
