Mobile allows access to 97% of the SA Adult Audience, but there are different access segments which require a unique approach for marketing and advertising.
Tomi Ahonen famously called mobile the 7th Mass Media. In SA mobile is 1st in mass media, and the 1st screen for multi-screeners according to AMPS and MillwardBrown AdReaction 2014.
At Silverstone, we believe in mobile first marketing.
To do it successfully requires an understanding of the mobile audience – who they are and how they engage through their phones and tablets.
Part 2 of the #MobileRocks review of AMPS, deals with the audience, their core profiles and demographics based on the channel they engage through.
There are some really cool stats and infographics, and we’ve also included an opportunity guide and media cheat sheets per segment.

Penetration of

ownership and
use by LSM
Out of the 32.2m individual cellphone owners…
• 14.4m use Voice, SMS and USSD only
• 11.7m acknowledge that they use the
mobile internet, and
• 6.1m use mobile data e.g. apps, MMS and
other features dependent on mobile data
This makes the total mobile data penetration
17.8m or 48% of the adult population
The higher the income and LSM, the more
likely the user will be on the mobile web.
The lower the income and LSM, the more likely
the user can only be reached using voice, SMS
and USSD – and the less well understood the
concept of internet browsing, or difference
between internet and apps / phone features
that consume data.

11. Cellphone
Owners
32.2m / 87% of Adults
Almost everyone (87%) has got a cellphone with their own
number and at least the ability to:
• Make a call to you
• Receive a call or SMS
• Send an SMS to a short code from a call 2 action in any
other form of media
Without adding any additional “media” costs, advertisers can
amplify existing media spend by adding an SMS or USSD call
to action to your advertising
The cost of a short code or USSD Number, keyword campaign
and SMS messaging is negligible in the context of a typical
advertising campaign.
Cellphone owners can also be reached through mobile
advertising and marketing techniques, which offers the same
and better reach, targeting, and are generally more effective
and measurable than other forms of advertising.

Opportunity Guide for
Basic Cellphone Users
14.6m / 39% of Adults
Basic Cellphone users can be engaged using SMS, Voice &
USSD
Engaging users who don’t have data capable devices, and only
use/have voice, SMS and USSD capability on their phone
proves to be a challenge for most marketers.
South African agencies and brands have a world beating track
record for innovating with just that… The MMA has awesome
case studies on award winning campaigns which excelled by
using interactive voice, USSD and IVR apps.
Marketers can incorporate:
• SMS Short Codes with reply messages
• USSD numbers with interactive text menus
• Automated outbound voice messaging and Call beck
technology with IVR (Interactive Voice Response) Menus
• Vouchers
• Mobile payments

Opportunity Guide for
Mobile Data/Internet Users
17.7m | 48% of Adults
Every data capable mobile phone has an internet browser.
But not all browsers are equal, and can’t necessarily handle cookies or
JavaScript. Not every phone has a big screen, fast internet and to the majority
of South African users data is expensive.
That doesn’t limit them to browse the web or click on links, but they’re not
going to like:
• To browse sites built for desktop users
• Download large graphic files
• Wait forever for a page to open
That means you need to be building mobile optimised web sites to support
your campaigns. Its fine to build an App for Windows Phone, Blackberry, Apple
or Android – but keep in mind each represents a very specific and relatively
fragmented audience segment, even in the upper LSMs.
Do a mobile site with SMS integration first, and if budget or technical know
how is an issue, develop mechanics that suit the lowest common
denominator and stick to utility features.
If budget is not an issue, customise the experience and take advantage of all
the fantastic capabilities offered by Native Apps and the latest mobile features,
technology and trends. Prioritize Mobile Web Apps, Android, Windows Phone,
IOS, Blackberry in that order…

Opportunity Guide for
Tablet Users
1.8m | 5% of Adults
A significant 5% of adults or 1.8m consumers own a tablet – they consume loads
more data, content and media than the average consumer, and represent a very
interesting, affluent and rapidly growing advertising audience segment.
For a category that didn’t exist 4 years ago, tablet penetration has grown
exponentially – almost doubling between the first and second half of 2013 according
to consumers surveyed in AMPS2013AB.
Multi-screening has major implications for TV advertisers; those multi-screeners
spend 67 minutes or 15% of their media day on a tablet according to MillwardBrown
– and therefor represents an opportunity to extend TV ads and provide immersive
dual screen experiences for your campaigns.
Digital advertisers and website owners must consider responsive design and
touch/swipe v. click/scroll mechanics for user experience design of ads and sites.
Native advertising with embedded rich media and interactive ads are a must.
Tablets are where you should be innovating, experimenting and wowing your target
audience.
Lets see what develops…

25. The South African Audience Research
Foundation (SAARF) conducts and releases
the AMPS, the All Media and Products
Survey twice a year.
The basic purpose of AMPS is to provide
data about the use of the mass media, and
the consumption of products and services by
users of the mass media.
The data has to be comprehensive enough
so that it can be used for target marketing
and aid advertisers and their advertising
agencies in taking decisions about the
selection of media for their advertising
campaigns.
Media owners have to be able to use the
data to market their media, and for strategic
editorial and programme planning.
AMPS is a constantly evolving survey. It is
updated every year with input from
stakeholders, in order to keep up with the
ever changing media and product
landscape.
Industry involvement is one of the strong
points of the AMPS survey. AMPS also
benefits from decades of experience.
Because the survey has been conducted
since 1974, it has been refined over the
years to become a survey of an extremely
high quality.
Since 2009/10, the Mobile Marketing
Association of South Africa has worked with
SAARF to refine the survey through asking
more explicit and pertinent questions to
determine the role and scope of the mobile
medium in the South African media
landscape.
The 2013 data which is the focus of this
report, provides 3 years of trends since the
MMA got involved.
AMPS 2013AB is based on a rolling survey
of 25,444 respondents across South Africa
which extrapolates to an adult population
(15+) of 37.2m.
The MMA is the world’s leading global
non-profit trade association comprised of
more than 800 member companies, from
nearly fifty countries around the world.
MMA Member companies hail from
every faction of the mobile media
ecosystem. Our consortium includes
brand marketers, agencies, enabling
technologies, media companies and
others.
The MMA’s mission is to accelerate the
transformation and innovation of
marketing through mobile, driving
business growth with closer and stronger
consumer engagement.
MMA South Africa:
For the past 6 years, we’ve worked with
Silverstone and media researchers to
develop an unashamedly biased mobile
perspective of the AMPS data.
We asked probing questions about the
mobile medium, compared to other
forms of media, the mobile audience and
the mobile consumer, activities on the
cellphone, and activities on the mobile
internet.
By “over-coding” AMPS questions and
answers, this report provides a revealing
perspective of the mobile medium in
South Africa – and meets our goal of
providing the business case for
advertisers and agencies to embrace the
medium, and to shift media spend and
focus more aggressively to mobile.
This approach allows us to prove and
support our belief that South Africa and
Africa is a ‘mobile first’ society – base
don establishment data which the SA
Media industry trusts and live by.
If you find this report of value, you
would benefit by getting involved in
the Mobile Marketing Association.
