Management Summary
Management Summary
►
Users across all countries have very high expectations of mobile websites and apps. Good site performance and low load-times are very important to more than 80% of all users. Good usability and design also have to go hand in hand with relevant and up-to-date content.
►
Big international sites like Facebook, Google and Amazon are seen as premium for exactly these reasons. Users see these sites / apps as easy to navigate while supplying the right content at the right time.
►
When it comes to advertising on premium sites it is important to protect users from inappropriate content. More than 50% of all users agree that poor website- / app-content negatively impacts advertised brands.
General
►
Publishers should also keep a close eye on their ad delivery systems: Overdelivery of ads and a premium image don’t mix well.
►
Personalised advertising is generally well received but options to opt out from receiving them should be in place.
►
While the above is true for all countries in this study (Sweden, UK, France & Germany) there are fine nuances between these markets that have to be taken into consideration when serving ads on premium sites in these regions.

Management Summary
►
In Sweden mobile web usage is not only for the young and tech savvy. There is an increasing audience of older mobile users who bring a more sceptical view to the mobile landscape.
►
Premium publishers should focus on their infrastructure first: That means fast loading and easy to access sites (80% of users say this is important for premium sites). Information should be believable and easy to understand.
►
As 54% of all users say that poor website / app quality negatively impacts advertised brands, choosing publishers that rate highly on technical and content quality is strongly advised.
Sweden
►
Mobile ads are currently rated very poorly by Swedish customers (more than 80% rating them as average or below).
►
To address this issue ads for Swedish woman should be relevant to their interests and easily understood. Swedish men prefer ads that have links to additional information.
►
Especially for the younger demographic targeting technologies can be used to achieve the desired relevance of mobile ads. Keep in mind that users 30 and older don’t have a positive attitude towards these technologies.

Management Summary
►
In Britain content quality is the driving factor behind premium sites. Information should be believable and easy to understand with just the right amount of detail. This high quality content has not to be written by professional journalists.
►
Placing ads on premium mobile sites is very important in the UK as almost 70% of all users think that poor website / app quality has a negative impact on advertised brands. Advertisers should especially stay away from sites with sexual content.
►
Ads in mobile apps are the most highly rated digital ad formats. Ads on mobile websites are however the least well regarded.
UK ►
To achieve high ad ratings the focus should be on the delivery of relevant and easy to understand information, not on emotional appeal. Two thirds of Brits also express a strong favourability of well designed (visually pleasing) ads.
►
05.11.2015
Targeted ads are popular with British smartphone users. 50% prefer them above non targeted ads.

Management Summary
►
French smartphone users place very high expectations on premium sites / apps across the board. Above all else sites should be easy to navigate and access while also presenting the content in an easy to read format.
►
While the premium market in France is very demanding on publishers the investment can pay off. More than 60% of all users think that poor websites or apps have a negative impact on advertised brands.
►
Mobile ad quality has still a long way to go in France. Especially ads on mobile websites receive poor ratings.
France
►
Ads should be easy to understand and provide relevant information but one unique possibility for designers can be the proper use of fonts and colours which is seen as very important by French customers.
►
05.11.2015
French mobile users mostly like targeted ads to learn more about interesting products.

Management Summary
►
In Germany publishers should focus on technical quality (load time and easy access) first. German smartphone users also prefer believable and detailed information over easy to understand information.
►
Site content is generally less important to German customers. 51% think that poor website or app content doesn’t negatively influence advertised brands.
►
Digital ads are generally less well regarded in Germany with mobile ads being the least favoured.
►
Especially higher educated Germans have high expectations of mobile ads. Design factors are very relevant here. To score with German customers ads should be visually pleasing and make proper use of fonts and colours while providing easy to understand information.
Germany ►
Targeting technologies are generally accepted but German smartphone users strongly prefer to have the ability to choose for themselves if they want to receive personalised ads.

I find advertising on premium sites / apps annoying. (revers coded)
