New Mobile Ad Research Validates Purchase Power and Influence of 18-34 Year-Olds, aka "Generation C"
Half of Respondents Share Offers With Friends via Smartphones and 41% Purchase From Mobile Ad Based Solely on Personal Recommendations
(firmenpresse) - SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/08/12 -- New research tracking trends in mobile advertising among 18-34 year olds found strong receptiveness to mobile ads and powerful purchasing influence coming from peer recommendations and offer sharing. The 18-34 demographic, branded "Generation C" by *, is one of the most elusive yet lucrative markets for brands to reach.
's findings validate this age group's personal "connection" with each other as well as their propensity to consume media content, socialize and share experiences through devices. Half of all respondents regularly share sales offers with peers via smartphones, and 41% make purchase decisions based solely on recommendations from friends and family.

Additional data from the Generation C survey reveals the following:
47% of respondents indicated they have clicked on a mobile ad in the past 3 months
54% made a purchase from a mobile device in the last 6 months. Of those, 32% made 1-3 purchases, 14% made 3-6 and 9% made 6+ purchases.
79% of respondents revealed that mobile purchases are largely driven by personal recommendations (41%) and sales based content (38%).
Half of the respondents (50%) used their smartphones to share offers such as coupons, sales and ads with friends -- at the rate of 1-3 times per month (31%), 3-6 times per month (16%) and more than 6 times (3%).
More than half (55%) of respondents used their mobile device to comparison shop at least once per week. Of those, 33% use it 1-3 times, 14% use it 3-6 times and 8% answered 6 or more.
39% of respondents viewed between 1 to 5 videos each day on their smartphone while 9% viewed more than 5 videos a day.
37% used a smartphone and 19% used a tablet device while watching T.V.
According to these findings, sharing offers with friends is not only a phenomenon of face-to-face interactions and desktop display channels, but it is also happening at a faster pace on consumers' mobile devices. The power to identify social connections, gain insight about consumer behavior on mobile devices, and analyze real-time interests enables brands to cater to the needs of this burgeoning demographic.

"Social sharing across trusted connections and viral buzz via smartphones and tablets are extremely influential to the Gen-C population, requiring new rules of engagement between brands and this highly sought after demographic."
