Consumers Plan to Use Mobile Phones for Holiday Shopping

The numbers come from the October 2010 U.S. Mobile Consumer Briefing, which was conducted on behalf of the The Mobile Marketing Association and it’s even further proof that mobile marketing is on the rise.
Of those who expected to use their phone to faciliate shopping, 64% said they’re check their phone before going to a store, but only 12% said it would be in response to a  TV, billboard or newspaper ad. What are they using the phones for? To search for locations where a gift is sold and to compare prices were the two most common responses.
The survey’s other key findings include:
  • Asians, Hispanics and adults ages 25-34 are the demographic groups most likely to use their phone to a great extent for holiday shopping and celebration planning.
  • Thirteen percent of mobile holiday shoppers expect to use their phone to purchase or pay for gifts (13%).
  • Movies, music, consumer electronics and books are the top gift types that mobile holiday shoppers thought would be helpful to shop for using a mobile phone.
  • Among mobile holiday shoppers, Hispanics and Asians were more likely to think that toys or games would be helpful to shop for with a mobile phone.
Though I do believe that our dependence on mobile phones is rising (my husband forgot his when we went out shopping today and he wanted to go back home to get it), I’d take these results with a healthy dose of skepticism. Not that I think they’re wrong, but I don’t believe that people really know what they’ll use their phones for let alone what kind of gift would be better served. I suspect people responded with the most popular categories for gift buying, the same answer you’d get if you asked them what they buy online or at the mall.
Here’s a quote from the press release that does sum it all up nicely. It’s from Jacqueline Rosales, EVP, Business Development & Client Service of Luth Research;

Big F.M. Celebratind Children Day On November-14

New Delhi: Childhood is all about innocence and playfulness. It is also about happiness and freedom. And Children's Day is an occasion to celebrate “childhood”. With Children’s Day just around the corner, 92.7 BIG FM’s Delhi station has planned a special program with the concept BIG Lagayega Class with the Kids. But, in place of the usual one-day celebration on November 14, the station is making it a week-long affair.

Starting November 8 and going on till November 14, 92.7 BIG FM has come up with some hatke plans to celebrate Children’s Week. In this special program while the spotlight will continue to be on the kids, the treatment would be quite out-of-the-box. Instead of focusing directly on the children, the station will put various celebrities to test.

This is one of the rarest occasions on radio when kids Celebrities ki Class Lagayenge! One of the most unforgettable moments from our childhood is when we were cornered in a tight situation, rightly put as, Class lag gayi, and this programming takes us back in time to various such memorable moments – a flashback to some of the carefree days
And while doing all this, 92.7 BIG FM is also focusing on spreading a BIG smile by creating a memorable opportunity for children with special needs and orphans.

A simple idea can turn into a great gift, often with a little love and care. So besides taking children from various NGOs on-air, the radio station will be gratifying these children by treating them and gifting them with a bag full of goodies and special movie screening.

RBI takes steps to hike money supply

MUMBAI: In a bid to ease liquidity pressure on the banking system due to a spurt in festival season demand, the Reserve Bank on Tuesday announced special measures to increase money supply in the financial system.

"Scheduled commercial banks may avail of additional liquidity support under the LAF to the extent of up to 1% of their net demand and time liabilities (NDTL) as on the reporting Friday of the second preceding fortnight," RBI said in a statement.

"For any shortfall in maintenance of statutory liquidity ratio (SLR) during November 9 to December 16, 2010, arising out of availment of this facility, banks may seek waiver of penal interest purely as an ad hoc, temporary measure," the central bank said.
