Digital advertising and marketing: only the best ideas worldwide, since 2003

Young users are the future of US mobile marketing

on July 27, 2005 by Martina Comments

MarketResearch.com has release a new report “The U.S. Youth Market: How 15- to 24-Year-Old Consumers Are Transforming the Marketplace” in which it investigates the role of young users in shaping the future of mobile marketing. Teenagers and young adults are the most promising segments for the wireless industry, and marketers have to understand how to communicate with them using their favorite media: the mobile phone. Don Montuori, one of the editors of the reports comments:

“Companies that target the 15-24-year-old crowd need to realize that traditional marketing and advertising venues may not be effective for young adults. Along those same lines, marketers should note that women in this age group are more likely than men to use a computer, and more likely to own a cell phone and use it for text messaging.”
