Insights on Key Mobile Consumer Segments in Canada to be discussed at launch event of research report in Toronto on July 25th, 2013 at TIFF Bell Lightbox.

Toronto, Ontario (July 8, 2013)- As mobile becomes an increasingly important part of everyday life for Canadians, there is a much greater need for advertisers, publishers and brands to gain Canadian specific insights into those who use mobile.  In response to this need, App-Promo, BrandSpark International and Tapped Mobile have partnered to conduct a detailed research study on the mobile habits of three key Canadian personas: Mobile Moms-The Hockey Mom, Digital Dudes-The Digital Dad, and Millennials-The Young and Wireless. The research looks at how these demographics use their devices and which channels are the most effective for reaching them. The study also provides key insights on how these demographics can be accurately targeted by brands and agencies.

“Through the Canadian Mobile Persona study, marketers, brands, publishers and agencies will be able to better understand how mobile is used as a media channel and how to use it as a platform to reach and engage with their target audience(s)” agreed Gary Yentin, CEO of App-Promo, Mark Baltazar, Vice President of BrandSpark International, and Jed Schneiderman, President of Tapped Mobile, the three partners behind this research report.

The complete study is available in a comprehensive report that will be available July 25th, 2013 covering insights for each key segment:

◦    How these Canadian personas use their mobile devices and why it matters to marketers

◦    The behavioral and attitudinal differences between smartphone and tablet usage

◦    The key differences between iOS and Android users that will impact your marketing plan

◦    The type of apps you should be advertising on to reach your target market

◦    The role of mobile for shopping along the path to purchase

Insights from this study will be presented at a launch in Toronto on July 25th, 2013 at TIFF Bell Lightbox from 9:30am-11:30am. The event is by invitation only and limited to the to the first 150 participants.  More information can be found at the website www. mobilepersonas.com

2nd Annual App Developer Survey – On Now till May 5, 2013

Our 2nd Annual Developer Survey will look at how developers are financially performing (including by platform) with their app and is now open and running until May 5, 2013.

Click on this link to get started: http://svy.mk/ZcQutE

Last year we found that nearly 60% of app developers are not breaking even with the money they are generating with their apps. This news was illustrated in our “Wake Up Call” infographic which was picked up by the likes of Mashable, Into Mobile, Read Write, Venture Beat and more and our white paper summarizing all of the results has been downloaded over 2,100 times since its release.

This year, we hope to uncover some new powerful stats about the app publisher and developer community as well as to follow-up with app owners to see if more are seeing success with their apps.

We will be creating an infographic and white paper to publish these results which will be made available at the end of May of this year. If you aren’t already signed up for our newsletter to receive these results, you can do so by providing your information on the last page of the survey.

The survey runs from April 15 through to May 5, 2013. Please share it with your colleagues! Results will be made public the end of May 2013. As a thank you for completing the survey we are giving away the chance to win $1,500 in App Store Optimization services by a member of our team.

Thank you for all your support!
