Does Web presence
increase print readership among local residents?
Three years ago the SMS Hawaii Market study began measuring the
number of local residents who read local newspapers and magazines
on the Web. As an example, whether the respondent indicated that
they have or have not read a specific daily newspaper in the past
7 days, we asked the respondent whether they, themselves read the
Web version of that paper in the past 7 days. It is important to
note that the base measurement is not a ³readership²
measurement is usually a measurement of ³read yesterday² for
daily newspapers. It should also be noted that this is only one
measurement of web effectiveness, and should be viewed with other
available measurement sources.
Eighty three percent (83%) of Hawaii adults say that they have
used the Internet in the past 30 days somewhere (not necessarily
at home). Though general usage of the Internet is high,
readership of the Web version of daily newspapers is low.
Web Impact on Daily Newspapers
Based on Past 7 days
The first calculation is a proportion analysis -- what percentage
of readers of a specific daily newspaper read that paper¹s
version on the Web. As an example, the total number of people
that read the Hawaii Tribune Herald on the Web represents 8% of
the statewide adults who read paper version of the Hawaii Tribune
Herald in an average 7 days. However, how many of the Hawaii
Tribune Herald Web readers are incremental readers -- in other
words, read only the Web version--- it is 2% of all readers (web
and paper version). The range is from 2% to 6% for the daily
papers. (Note: Not included in these measurements are Web readers
who do not reside in Hawaii.)
Web readership of newspapers and magazines is growing, but
growing slowly. The proportionality and incremental readers are
similar for magazines and weekly newspapers.
Some interesting marketing challenges arise. Is the incremental
cost of Web administration justified? Are these incremental
readers truly new readers, or would they have become paper
version readers? How important is national and international
exposure?
Since 1988 the SMS Hawaii Market Study has been Hawaii¹s primary
provider of resident market data to advertisers, advertising
agencies and marketers as well as to radio, magazine and
television clients. SMS collects and analyzes information on
consumer demographics, behavior, product and brand usage, and
exposure to all forms of advertising-supported media.
Hawaii¹s leading marketers and agencies use SMS Hawaii Market
Study data for market planning and analysis, strategic planning,
target market identification, product launches, line extensions
and brand positioning.
The annual study is based on approximately 2,500 completed
interviews with a random sample of statewide residents, 18 years
or older. The sample provides a sample error of less than 1%, at
95% confidence interval. The interviews use a combination of
telephone and diary methods. The final sample is statistically
balanced to reflect the state¹s resident population as reported
by the U.S. 2000 Census.
