Consumer Confidence

We have used our panels to track consumers' attitudes to the economy on a quarterly basis since March 2008.  This has given us an in-depth understanding of how attitudes have changed throughout the course of the recession, and also now as the economy edges slowly into growth.

Mobility

The newspaper of choice for the over 50s

The Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday are the widest read newspapers for the over 50 age group. Campaigns such as 'Dignity for the Elderly' show how the editorial stance of Mail Newspaper is to consistently campaign for the rights of the elderly.

In 2012 we sought the opinions of our readers and found out what they think about mobility products and issues. 

So what did we do?

We interviewed 842 respondents, of which 326 had mobility issues. Of those 326, 237 had responsibility for purchasing mobility products.

We asked our panel a number of questions:

• What mobility issues do you have?
• What products have you bought?
• The purchasing journey, how long did it take them from deciding to buy to actually making the purchase?

Mobility issues

The main issues respondents reported were:

1. Walking 60%
2. Standing 44%
3. Using Stairs 39%
4. Bathing/Showering 39%
5. Chairs/Seats 32%
6. Bad Back 30%
7. Sitting 22%

The purchase journey:

Our readers have a short purchasing journey. 65% bought a mobility product within a month of researching it. This has implications for suppliers as it shows how important it is to ensure our readers can have their products installed in a short time frame.

Online, Press and Search

  Newspapers drive consumers online.

1/3 of the UK population say that they have been prompted to visit a website having seen an advert/article in press. The above figure equates to 15.2 million people, meaning that newspapers offer a better opportunity to engage with consumers than television, magazines, outdoor advertising and the radio.

The journey continues. Having been prompted to visit a site, 6.9 million press readers then go on to make a purchase, this equates to a conversion rate of almost 45%. Still newspapers remain the best platform for reaching consumers that buy online. The next best medium behind newspapers is television, with an audience reach of over 1.0 million less.

Across all social grades (ABC1's and C2DE's), men and women, the working population, retired adults, home owners and home buyers, newspapers are a great medium for reaching adults who purchase online.

Our titles

Being the first to break the big news is what we pride ourselves on, so it's no surprise that the Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday lead the way when it comes pointing consumers online. 2.5 million readers say that they have found out about a website after seeing in their newspaper.

Having been driven online, our readers aren't only there for browsing, just over 1.2 million Mail readers purchase online having been prompted by the advert they have seen in their newspaper.

Our audience figures are some of the biggest in the national newspaper marketplace, when it comes to audience reach and response they're unparalleled.
