7 in 10 Smartphone & Tablet Users pay attention to Mobile Ads.
July 1, 2011
A recent mobile survey conducted by Prosper Mobile Insightsincluded 203 smartphone and tablet users from the SSI Panel who completed the survey on their devices. The survey was collected from 7/20 – 7/22/11. 48% of the sample was male while 52% was female, and the average age of the sample was 40. The data reveals that mobile users’ attention spans for advertisements viewed on their devices differ depending on where the ads are placed. Mobile users were most likely to pay full attention to ads when surfing the web on their devices and least likely when watching full TV episodes.
Over half of smartphone and tablet users said they never fully pay attention to ads on their devices when watching full TV episodes and playing games, according to a recent mobile survey conducted by Prosper Mobile Insights™ among smartphone and tablet users on their devices. 13.3% say they regularly pay full attention to advertising while watching TV on their device and 19.2% do the same while playing games. Ads found while surfing the web on a mobile device appear to get the most attention from mobile users:
