Marketing Research
Millennials Are Drawn To Internet and Mobile For News
A Pew Research survey earlier this year found that millennials were roughly twice as likely to “often get news” from the internet as from TV. Fully half of those 18-29 cited the internet (including social media) as compared to 27% from TV. Among older generations, those 50 and above, the skew was even more pronounced—but in the opposite direction, with the vast majority tapping TV over the internet.
Not only are younger users more likely to turn to the internet for news, they are more likely consume it via mobile devices. comScore Media Metrix data from May shows a sharp bias for mobile among younger users, with nearly three-quarters of their time spent consuming news/information on mobile devices rather than desktops.
Social Media Marketing Research
Social Is Top Marketing Tactic For Most Small Businesses
Small business is on to something others cannot see. More than 40% of SMBs lean on social media ads for brand awareness, revenue generation. Thus, social media is a key online marketing tool for small businesses. According to a recent poll, more than half of small business owners in the US said social media is their primary digital marketing tactic, far more than those who cited websites or online advertisements.
In September, Vistaprint Digital surveyed 1,001 small business owners in the US about their online and offline marketing mix. The majority of those polled came from companies that had fewer than 10 employees. More than half (or 53.3%) of respondents said they mainly use social media to market their organization online. Another almost a third of small business owners said they use their websites. Other tactics like online ads and directory listings fell far short with only 6.6% and 5.0%, respectively, of those polled.
Meanwhile, when it comes to offline marketing tactics, business cards were the overwhelming majority with 51.1%.
When it comes to online marketing, other research also points out small businesses’ preference for social media, even in advertising. Magisto, a video editing software firm, reported in October that more than 40% of small and medium-sized businesses in the US count on social media ads for brand awareness and revenue generation.
Advertising and marketing are no less important for small businesses than for major corporations, even if they don’t have the luxury of dedicated departments. Earlier this year, a survey by the National Small Business Association found that almost half of the small business owners polled said that advertising and marketing would be a major driver for growth.
Digital/Mobile Marketing Research
How Marketers Are Using Location Data
The vast majority of marketers see location data as either important or critical to their mobile efforts, according to survey results from the Mobile Marketing Association (MMA). Location data is valued most for its ability to improve targeting and insights, though many also see it as useful for understanding the path to purchase and as a way for measuring ad effectiveness.
The report notes that these are also the primary ways in which marketers are leaning on location data: about two-thirds have used it for targeting in the past year, while a majority have also used it for insights (61%), measuring effectiveness (57%) and attribution (53%).
Not too surprisingly, social media (66%) is the top area in which marketers use location data, with search (51%) next and display/rich media (42%) following. One might expect some lifts in these latter areas given Google’s recent upgrades in distance and location metrics based on search and AdWords data.
Turning to the various types of location-based applications, the MMA study reveals that real-time location-based advertising is not only the most widely used strategy but also the one perceived to be the most valuable.
For marketers responding to the survey, the quality of the data is the top concern with location data. Marketers appear more concerned than agencies across a list of various challenges, the most notable difference surrounds lack of transparency into data sources and methodologies, which is one of the top concerns for marketers but one of the smallest worries for agencies.

Millennials Are Digital-Savvy Social Giants In Australia.
Television is still the primary outlet for news consumption for most Australians but millennials are shifting away from traditional channels, sourcing relevant content from social media. According to the latest research, social media is the most popular source of news for 31% of “trailing” millennials (aged 14-26) and 25% for “leading millennials” (aged 27-32). These findings were drawn from responses to the 2016 Deloitte Australian Media Consumer Survey, the fifth edition of the firm’s digital preferences study.
Comparatively, 20% of Generation X (aged 33-49) digest most of their news via social media, while just 6% of baby boomers (aged 50-68) use Facebook, Twitter or Instagram to find out what’s happening in the world.
Unsurprisingly, those aged 69 and above don’t use social media at all when consuming the news of the day.
Although the number of respondents engaging with social media on a daily basis only increased slightly (up 2% year-on-year to 61%), the fastest growth rates over the past four years have been among baby boomers (38%) and matures (40%). While Facebook is the most popular of all networks (93% of Aussie social media users are active on Facebook), Deloitte suggest for some, it may be starting to lose its appeal. “Using Facebook can perhaps now best be seen as something of a habit, less about real connections and more about keeping up with the facade that people curate (intentionally or not) on their profile pages,” the report said. “Younger generations are not the most represented on Facebook, it’s their parents and grandparents.”
96% of boomers using social media are active on Facebook, compared with 92% of leading millennials and 88% of trailing millennials. “The youngest generation, the most prolific users of social media, are looking further for their social media needs and newer (post-2010) social networks are catching on,” the report said. The inclination to discover news through social media may be attributed to the fact that smartphone ownership among Aussies almost doubled over the last four years, from 46% in 2012 to 86% in 2016. Companies and brands, including the curators of news and current affairs, have shifted from being on social to being social by embracing the style, format, language and tone of the social media environment.
Through the use of hashtag campaigns, viral marketing, visual content and interactive discussions businesses are able to more effectively engage consumers, share brand messages and grow their social communities.
