Results Showcase User Interest in Mobile Video
SUNNYVALE, Calif.–(EMWNews)–Avot Media (www.avotmedia.com),
an innovator in real-time streaming and personalization of video
delivery to mobile devices, today announced the results of its mobile
video user survey. More than four hundred mobile device users answered
an online survey after viewing a video via their mobile phones. The
study uncovers users’ concerns and interests
regarding mobile media quality, start-up time, costs, and content choice.
Results of the study revealed that mobile video is in demand by a
variety of users. One of the key takeaways from the study is that 55
percent of the 29-and-under demographic said they would use the simple “send
SMS for video” model to request video content
of interest to them. This user demographic was open to a variety of
video content, for example:
-
32 percent would watch American Idol performances
-
36 percent would view movie trailers
-
31 percent would access instructional ‘how to’
videos
“There’s been plenty
of buzz in the industry about mobile video and its possibilities and how
brands can utilize them to connect with their target audience,”
said DeWayne Nelon, CEO of Avot Media. “While
the industry has been slower to adapt to these possibilities, these
results clearly show that there is a great deal of interest for mobile
video services and the time for companies to start integrating them to
their marketing campaigns is now.”
Challenges still exist as mobile video technology matures. Outdated
phone models, limited phone or carrier support, user error and/or poor
coverage are among the challenges some users reported. Additionally,
users expressed general concern about image quality (32%), download time
(33%), and freezing/stuttering (33%). Seventy-five percent of those
surveyed were able to successfully watch the video via Avot Media’s
video formatting and streaming solution. Among this group the following
was reported on the mobile video viewing experience:
-
95 percent stated that the “send SMS for
video” process was easy
-
89 percent said the video start-up time was medium fast or fast
-
71 percent reported the video image was clear or crystal clear
The survey was deployed via a web survey tool. Survey takers were asked
to test-drive Avot Media’s mobile video
delivery service. After watching a video they answered 10 short
questions about the overall experience.
