    Mobile marketing and ads to reach $3 bln in 2007

    The world market for mobile marketing and advertising is expected to be worth about $3 bln by the end of 2007, according to ABI Research. By 2011, the value of this market will reach $19 bln, including mobile search and video advertising. ABI Research also expects some of the highest levels of spending to come in the broadcast mobile video space. By 2011, it will surpass SMS as a source of mobile marketing spending, due in part to mobile broadcast networks’ presence in all major markets. In 2011, ABI Research expects spending for broadcast mobile video advertising alone to reach $9 bln.

    ‘Sure I’ll click your ad. Give me a ringtone.’
    Mobile advertisers who want to reach UK users should offer them free content, according to MoMac’s “Mobile Advertising Attitudes” report. The research was conducted in May 2007 by Tickbox. That is similar to other markets, where mobile users say they are opposed to ads on their handsets, but feel differently when offered free content for viewing ads.

    Text-based advertising links on mobile sites were more likely to get a response than other types of ads. Mobile video ads were more popular with men than women. Younger mobile users were also more likely to respond to mobile video ads than were those older than 55.

    Mobile Users Picky About Ads
    More than four in five US adults own a mobile phone, yet only 30% of mobile phone owners recall seeing or hearing a mobile ad in the past year, according to an Ingenio survey conducted by Harris Interactive.

    Nearly two-thirds of mobile phone owners said their phones were very personal to them. Mobile users also had definite preferences about what types of ads they found acceptable. Sponsored text links had the most favorable responses, followed by audio ads that played instead of the usual ringing when waiting for someone to answer a call.
