Media Consumption Patterns of the Youth Segment

Frost & Sullivan believes that the mobile device has evolved to become one of the

most popular media consumption devices for the youth segment. This segment

relies on their mobile devices for a wide range of communication, information and

entertainment requirements, and the youth segment forms the core of the mobile

mobile data strategies. As such, services such as ChaCha that

generate millions of mobile search queries from the youth segment every month

are ideal to provide insights into things on the of the of the youth segment

and build a virtual  - that ties all known information about the end-users.

The figure below shows the average monthly SMS volume by age-group in the U.S.mobile communications market in 2009.

Perception Study

The Youthful Mind: What do the Teens and Young Adults Think

about your Brands and your Competitors?

There is an opportunity to better understand user behavior in mobile. ComScore M:

Metrics is used to correctly depict data usage and device type by segment.

Companies like Dynamic Logic and Insight Express can provide metrics on brand

affinity and purchase intent for specific campaigns and categories, but there is no

single source that provides a more granular understanding of what!s happening

during the conversation - what users care about and what they think, particularly as

it relates to specific brands and products. Frost & Sullivan believes that ChaCha is

in a unique position to provide that data to the industry and potential advertisers.

Capturing the intent is always a priority for successful marketers, and

extensive database of questions and associated information about the

subscribers can be mined to provide insights into the popularity, penetration and

perception of different brands among the consumers.

The youth segment continues to be a heavy user of  services and

currently generates the maximum number of queries in a given time period. Along

with the search query and answer string, ChaCha also has insights into other 

metrics related to the end user- including demographics, location, device type, and

others. An in-depth analysis of  data can provide an intelligent and logical

association between all these metrics and can provide actionable insights into the

preferences. For example, traffic patterns can be analyzed to

determine the impact of a particular ad campaign, ascertain the popularity of 

different TV shows among the youth segment, and even to determine regional

interest levels for a particular product. The possibilities are endless.

Perception Study

The key objective of this whitepaper is to provide insights into what teens and young

adults think about specific brands and how loyal they are to those brands. Since

ChaCha parses millions of questions per day, we have real time access to

awareness and satisfaction levels as well as loyalty indicators that lead to repeat

purchases, referrals and a preference for a vendor. We define this as Brand Affinity.

For purposes of this whitepaper, ChaCha and Frost & Sullivan analyzed millions of 

queries from the 3rd Quarter of 2009 from the youth segment and focus on the

following verticals and the key brands within those categories:

Gaming

Consumer Electronics Laptops

Entertainment Movies

Retail Apparel

Jeans

Shoes

Retail Clothing

Food & Beverage Auto

A detailed analysis for the above mentioned queries, including, but not limited to, the

following data points will be provided:

Number of queries generated for the top brands

Demographical analysis for the youth segment generating queries related to

popular brands

Device types

Types of queries asked

Analysis of the questions can also identify key drivers that affect Brand Affinity:

price, performance and relative performance against a competitor. Brand Affinity

metrics and segmentation can allow marketers to target and play media buys on the

basis of consumer availability and openness to a brand message, rather than on

demographics alone, thus reducing unnecessary and ineffective spending.

While Apple has the majority of searches, Brand Affinity as high as you would

expect. In fact, 34% of the questions demonstrate some uncertainty as to what they

should buy. Sample questions include: Apple laptops better than or 

I buy a Dell or an Apple Also, 37% of the questions were price

related, although the majority were phrased like, can I get an Apple laptop

and are the Apple laptops priced so Apple should beware thatteens and young adults are heavily and concerned about the

high prices. Dell and HP should see this as an opportunity to drive additional

awareness. In summary: Awareness of Apple laptops among this demographic are

high, but there is some skepticism as to whether or not they are worth the hype.

ENTERTAINMENT - MOVIES

Questions about the Harry Potter movies and characters quadrupled the question

total for the next closest movie during the three month time period.

Demographic data varies quite a bit depending on the genre classification of the

movies. For example, dramas are split 50/50 between genders. However, the 18-

24 year old age group made up 65% of the questions indicating that age is the prime

indicator of interest in movies that fall into the drama genre. When using the same

analysis on family movies, we find the opposite that gender indicates interest. Age

groups for family movies are very close at 53/47 percent, whereas gender is more

lopsided with females making up 60% of the questions.

Apparel Brands   Jean Brands

JEAN HIGHLIGHTS

Unlike many of the other 

industries, apparel  

specifically jean brand

questions come from

predominantly females

83% Female

17% Male

True Religion brand

 jeans made up an

overwhelming majority of 

the questions

55% Ages 13-17

62% Ages 18-24

Numbers for True

Religion brand jeans

show that while they are

still the most popular 

 jeans brand, they aremore appealing to the

older (18-24) age group

Lucky Brand jeans were

relatively similar in both

age groups

7 for All Mankind had a

6% drop in share for the

older (18-24) age group

Citizens of Humanity and

Chip & Pepper make up

approximately 7% of the

questions for both age

groups

!"#$%&'#$()%*+%,-"%.'/01

When it comes to jeans, girls are asking all the questions. Unlike questions in many

other industries, apparel questions, specifically jean questions, come predominately

from females, at 83%. True Religion jeans are the leading brand among 18-24 year 

olds but the brand 7 for All Mankind appears to be gaining traction with 13-17 year 

olds. Most of the teens and young adults want to buy or own True Religion jeans,

but many

afford them or think they are too expensive. In fact, 62%

knowwhere to shop for them about half of those specifically asked if they could get them

at Wal-Mart or Costco. It appears that while awareness is high, Brand Affinity may

be low because the jeans are priced out of their range and unattainable.

Nike, the company, is extremely interesting to this demographic, and ChaCha users

want to know as much as possible. Some of the most popular questions are,

invented and does Nike From a product perspective, the

majority of the questions are about the Nike SB or Skateboarding line. They want

to know, is the coolest Nike and much are Raygun Nike

and

can I get a Nike SB

Brand awareness is extremely high, andaffinity is strong. Price does not appear to be an issue, although the

factor of a particular type of shoe, even within the Skateboarding line is paramount.

In addition, many of the questions regarding shoes came from the lifestyle and

fashion categories where questions were asked regarding the shoes and dress of 

professional athletes, sports teams and celebrities.

Unlike shoes, young girls (under 18) ask most of the retail; clothing questions.

Hollister had the highest number of questions, although the majority of the girls

asked questions like, is

It appears that many of the young girls have heard of the retailer, but they

sure who they are or what they sell. On the other hand, affinity and product

awareness is much higher for Abercrombie and Fitch and Urban Outfitters. About

65% of the girls and boys ask where they can find a store and how much specific

products cost. About 20% are asking the meaning behind the logo, the company and

the founders. About 10% want to know why products cost what they do.

Juicy Couture received fewer questions than the top three retailers, but most were

related to specific products. Sample questions include, much is Juicy Couture

is the cheapest jewelry at Juicy and you wear Juicy

This young audience appears to be very familiar with the brand and what

they offer. Price is a concern, but not as much as other brands on the list.

With the exception of Diesel brand, it appears that 14 and 16 year old girls are

asking most of questions about retail clothing. Young high school age students are

very interested in keeping up with trends and tracking new products. They also are

intensely interested in what others think about the products and the retailers. Sample

questions were, you wear Juicy do you think is better, Juicy

Couture or  wears Diesel perfume for men

Beverage (Soda) Brands

SODA HIGHLIGHTS

ChaCha processed over 

6,800 questions involving

the top 5 soda brands.

Coca Cola (Coke) took

the top spot amongst

soda brands with 3,048

total questions

The questions regarding

sodas were relatively

balance between

genders when compared

to the other searchcategories analyzed

58.6% Male

41.4% Female

Coke, Dr. Pepper, and

Pepsi were all close to

57% ages 18-24,

whereas Sprite and 7UP

were around 65% in the

same age group. Thisshows that the older age

group has a larger 

interest in the Sprite and

7UP (clear) sodas as

opposed to the darker 

sodas of Coke, Dr.

Pepper, and Pepsi

In the soda category, many of the questions are comparative between brands and

products. They want to know what is better for them, and what the differences are

between the products. It is also interesting to note that older users are more

interested in the lighter sodas (7-up and Sprite), while younger users are more

interested in the darker sodas (Coke, Pepsi, and Dr. Pepper). Older users are also

less likely to ask for advice on what to drink or not to drink. Their brand preferences

are set. Instead, they are more interested in the origins of the brands and trivia

surrounding the brands.
