- A new survey by investment firm Baird revealed that a small number of consumers are interested in subscribing to an Apple streaming service. The survey included 1,500 American consumers who expressed their insights on upgrading their iPhones. While 67% of respondents said they are planning to purchase new smartphones from Apple, only 18% of the surveyed consumers said they had “some interest” in subscribing to Apple’s streaming service if it gets launched.
- According to a survey by Adobe Analytics, a third of the 1,000+ American consumers surveyed in January had heard an ad on a smart speaker before, while a third of that subset found that ads playing on smart speakers are less intrusive and more engaging than ads on television, print, online and social media. In addition, 38% of consumers say that their smart speaker experience would be enhanced with a touchscreen, and 64% report keeping a smart speaker in the living room and 46% in the bedroom.
- Stackla recently surveyed 1,590 consumers and 150 B2C marketers from the U.S., UK and Australia, and found that a staggering 90% of consumers said that authenticity is important when deciding which brands they like and support. An overwhelming 92% of marketers believe that most or all of the content they create resonates as authentic with consumers. Yet the majority of consumers disagree, with 51% saying less than half of brands create content that resonates as authentic.
