IntRoduCtIon
In April of 2010, Apple introduced a new product called the iPad. While it wasn’t the first tablet computer, it was the first of its kind. The market at large hadn’t seen a consumer friendly, easily portable and highly styled tablet device, until the unveiling of the iPad. Once the first iPads made their way into early adopters’ hands and homes, there has been no looking back. Tablets are being adopted at a rate far outpacing any other new technology device in the last century. It took Alexander Graham Bell’s telephone nearly 40 years to reach more than 10 percent of people in the US, but it has taken smartphones fewer than five years to do the same. And tablets are on track to rise in the US market even faster than smartphones.*
For the first time, a third, 34% of American adults ages 18 and older, own a tablet. † Forrester research expects this number to grow to 60% of North American online consumers by 2017. They estimate over one in eight people globally will have a tablet, that’s 905 million devices.††
As tablets continue to fly off the shelves and into consumers’ hands, brands have an increased opportunity to get in front of their target audiences. It’s been shown an additional screen doesn’t cannibalize existing media consumption; it increases it.
Tablets are changing the way Americans consume content, and subsequently, changing the way consumers interact with brands and advertising. To take full advantage of tablets as a channel, brand advertisers need to refine their messaging to maximize the unique environment they provide. In addition, they will need to discover how consumers want to be engaged while using their tablet in the omni-channel, multi-screen universe.
Many traditional advertising channels are migrating to or integrating with tablets. Magazines and newspapers are turning to digital formats, with exclusive digital content and functionality for tablets. An increasing amount of broadcast & cable TV content is becoming available through tablet applications.
As advertisers evaluate campaign tactics, tablets can’t be viewed as shrunken down PCs or overgrown smartphones. They provide a unique function in everyday consumer life. To be effective, some advertising tactics will need to change to address this. It will require a retooling of creative, messaging, and a rethinking of performance indicators, specifically focused around tablets. These incredible devices are helping to change the face of advertising and how consumers interact with brands. Are brand advertisers prepared to keep up?

oBjeCtIVes & MethodoLoGy
To gain insight into the behavior of tablet users, Adroit Digital conducted a study to measure the behaviors and attitudes of consumers with regard to tablet use and their interaction with digital advertising on their tablet. The purpose of the study was to understand how consumers use tablets, and to assist brand advertisers in evaluating their tablet advertising plans for 2014.
The study was fielded from November 20 – November 22, 2013. The survey targeted a random sample of US and Canadian consumers who self-identified as, 18 years of age or older, who own a tablet and a laptop/desktop computer. The study garnered 1,000 completes.

whAt tIMe oF dAy do you use youR tABLet the Most?
From early risers to night owls, people are using their tablet all throughout the day. 61% of all respondents indicated their tablet use is spread throughout the day, from midnight to 7 p.m., but after 7 p.m. appears to be the sweet spot for tablet users.
39% of all respondents indicated the time of day they use their tablet the most is 7 p.m.-12 a.m. For consumers, this is the time of day to unwind and catch up from their busy day.
Our survey suggests two prime audiences advertisers should target tablet ads toward during this time, women and adults age 35-44. 44% of female respondents indicated 7 p.m.-12 a.m. to be the time they use their tablet the most. Even more respondents age 35-44 indicated the same, 49%.

2014: ARE TABLETS TAKING OVER?A SNAPSHOT OF HOW CONSUMERS USE THEIR TABLETS AND INTERACT WITH DIGITAL ADVERTISING
who, whAt, wheRe, when?
wheRe do you use youR tABLet the Most?
Our survey has answered many of these questions. The remaining question to be answered is where do consumers use their tablets the most.
For 83% of all respondents, the answer is at home.
When asked where they use their tablet the most, close to half, 49%, indicated a common area in their home, living room/family room/kitchen, to be the place they use their tablet the most. An additional 34% indicated the area they use their tablet the most, is a private area of their home, i.e., bedroom.
17% off all respondents indicated the place they use their tablet the most is out of the home: 10% indicated at work, and the other 7% out of the home, but not at work.
The oldest respondents, those age 55 and over, are most likely to spend the majority of their tablet use time in a common area of the home. Whereas the youngest respondents, are least likely to use their tablet in a common area, 65% and 35% respectively.

As technology advances and new devices continue to be introduced, all things being equal, a new device will displace an older one. This can be seen in our survey. Consumers are now performing tasks on their tablets, which they used to depend on their laptop/desktop to perform.
Our respondents indicated a significant shift in behavior in association with certain tasks, which they used to perform on their laptop/desktop. 52% of all respondents now use their tablet to watch TV/video, both recorded and live, as opposed to their laptop/desktop. 50% indicated using their tablet to look up product information and 49% indicated using their tablet to research products and services.
Advertisers prospecting the 25-44 year old audience for product discovery and research should be looking to tablets for advertising. Over half of all respondents in this age range indicated they now use their tablet more than their laptop/desktop to look up product information and to research products and services.

When planning a campaign strategy, advertisers should carefully weigh which medium will garner the greatest campaign engagement rate against their performance goals.
When asked if they were more likely to respond to an ad on their tablet, compared to their desktop, the majority, 56%, indicated they were very or somewhat likely to engage with a tablet ad, as opposed to a laptop/desktop ad. Of this group, 19% indicated they were very likely to respond to a tablet ad, as opposed to a laptop/desktop ad.
Men are more apt to be very likely or somewhat likely to respond to a tablet ad, as opposed to a laptop/desktop ad than women, 60% and 51% respectively.
60% of respondents age 25-34, more than any other age group, indicated the highest response rate to be very or somewhat likely to respond to a tablet ad, as opposed to a laptop/desktop ad.

When it comes to making a tablet purchase, are people spending big or hardly spending? It appears from our survey results, both are true.
26% of all respondents indicated they are comfortable spending $100 or more when making a tablet purchase.
An almost equal amount of respondents, 28%, indicated they are comfortable with a maximum tablet purchase amount of less than $25.
Those who indicated comfort with the largest tablet purchase amount, were respondents age 35-44. 35% of this group indicated comfort with a tablet purchase amount of $100 or more.

The majority of tablet owners in our survey turn to their tablet to make a purchase or seek additional information, after seeing an ad on TV or in a magazine for an item of interest, as opposed to their laptop/desktop.
55% of all respondents indicated they are more likely to use their tablet, as opposed to their laptop/desktop, to make a purchase or seek additional information about an item they have seen advertised on TV or in a magazine.
Men are more likely than women to turn to their tablet. Of all male respondents, 61% are more likely to use their tablet to make a purchase or seek additional information about an item they’ve seen advertised on TV or in a magazine, as opposed to their laptop/desktop. This is in contrast to 48% of female respondents who indicated the same.
Evaluating results within the age demographic, there is a decline in the likelihood to turn to a tablet as opposed to a laptop/desktop, as age increases. The youngest adults, age 18-24, indicated a 60% likelihood to turn to their tablet, while 32% of those age 55 and over indicated the same.

2014: ARE TABLETS TAKING OVER?A SNAPSHOT OF HOW CONSUMERS USE THEIR TABLETS AND INTERACT WITH DIGITAL ADVERTISING
ConCLusIon
As forecasts predict, tablets will only become more prolific in the next five years. What’s not clear is if brand marketers are prepared to meet the increasing demand for engaging and relevant ad content: This includes ads that take full advantage of the tablet’s feature set, and more importantly, the way in which consumers use them.
The shift to tablet media consumption is happening faster than advertiser dollars are shifting to this medium, and faster than advertising methods are changing to take full advantage of it. When online took flight in the late 90s, it was truly disruptive to advertising as we’d known it. Tablets and other mobile media are using that disruption to leap frog to a new level of media disruption.
Tablets are increasing media consumption from print, with publications and content exclusive to tablets, from radio, with applications like Pandora and Spotify, from broadcast and cable TV, with programming apps and online video content, and from online, with shifting viewing hours, gaming and shopping dollars. Tablets provide consumers with the ultimate control over when, where, what and how much content they consume. With their portable ease and the wide availability of Wi-Fi, tablets provide consumers with a means to connect almost any place, and at any time.
Tablets are being used for entertainment, social networking, communication and business. The challenge for advertisers is to find the appropriate content mix to satisfy the various modes of consumer use. The key to success will be the ability to deliver the right message, at the right time, in the right place, and through the right medium. To do this, advertisers will need to depend on data to inform their targeting.
Consumers expect more from tablets, as they are highly personal devices, than from other forms of media. Tablets aren’t simply an addition to the media mix, but a link that can tie all other forms of media together. The clear winners in tablet advertising will be advertisers and agencies that fully understand the unique opportunity tablets bring to maximize consumer engagement, and leverage that to their full advantage.
