Mobile Gaming — A Huge Holiday Opportunity

[:en]

So, you’ve heard the buzz? You know mobile is a force to be reckoned with, but do you know why advertising in mobile games is such a huge opportunity during the holidays?

Games are the #1 category of apps and the majority of Americans — 70% of the US mobile population — play games on their device! By adopting a mobile gaming strategy you are connecting your brand with an undeniably massive audience.

This is especially important during the holiday season. We see a major spike in consumer engagement during the months of November, December and January — which simply means people are spending more time in their favorite gaming apps. Here’s why:

1. The number of new devices is on the rise — Holiday gifting and iOS releases contribute to the surge of new devices. With new devices comes more time spent reloading your device with your favorite gaming apps — and installing new ones.
2. People have more time to play mobile games — It’s the holiday season which means people have time off from work and school. For some, gaming is a fun activity to fill spare time and for others it’s a relaxing escape from the hectic holiday schedule. Whatever the reason, we see a massive increase in time-spent and consumer engagement during the holidays.

By taking advantage of this seasonal spike you’ll keep your brand top-of-mind when purchasing is at it’s highest. In fact, 75% of Tapjoy’s mobile shoppers will make a holiday purchase on their device. The majority of consumers on our platform — 70% -start their holiday shopping in November, and the average Tapjoy user is shopping for more than 6 friends or family members..
