Boomers See Mobile Ads As Turn-Off. While a significant amount of ad dollars are being reallocated to digital, marketers looking to reach Baby Boomers may be wise to stick with radio . A new report from eMarketer shows Boomers do not respond well to mobile advertising on their smartphones. According to the numbers, less than 8% of the Boomer generation said they would likely purchase a product advertised on their mobile phone , and only 5% want to receive ads on their s martphones. Also, only 13.4% said they regularly used a mobile device to hunt for deals while shopping. While advertisers face an uphill climb to reach Baby Boomers on mobile devices, the demographic is easily accessible via broadcast radio.

US Competitive Info: Magazines Tumble, Debate Ads Rumble. Magazine newsstand sales continued their steady decline in the first half of 2015, according to new figures from MagNet, reported by MediaPost. Total volume of magazines distributed to wholesalers dropped 2.6% to 784 million units comparted to the first half of 2014. But the number of issues sold had a steeper decline, tumbling 18.5% to 207.5 million. Dollar value of magazine sales decreased 13.9% to $1.11 billion.

Still, no turnaround is in sight for magazine newsstand sales . MagNet says preliminary data for July and August point to sales falling further in the second half. Meanwhile, the chord that Donald Trump has struck among voters is reverberating for CNN ad sales. The cable news network is asking for 40 times its normal r...
