KIDOZ has conducted an annual survey among top kids publishers. We plan on keeping this tradition and creating surveys each year to gather insights and trends from the industry leaders. Here are the main insights from the survey Slide 2: The majority of participants found 2018 to be much better than 2017. The ones who considered 2018 to be a successful year said that revenues grew and more opportunities opened for them. The ones for whom 2017 was worse, mentioned lower eCPM, and Google’s algorithm and policy changes. Slide 3: While linear TV is losing audience, mobile usage soars among kids. Slide 4: Total spend on advertising by kids brand will pass 1 billion dollars this year. Slide 5: 77.8% responded that Google Play is their number 1 platform when it comes to revenues. Slide 6: App monetization on iOS is more balanced between the different business models. Based on the answers, when developers intend to monetize through a paid model or in-app purchases, iOS is the more lucrative platform. Slide 7: Most up publishers answered that they will use kid focused networks like Kidoz only, but over than 40% mentioned they will show any COPPA Ad alongside Kid focused networks to grow fill rate. Slide 8: Examples of the COPPA ads vs. obviously, running only COPPA ads will not prevent inappropriate ads to show within apps. Slide 9: Developers of kids apps should block doubtful categories & inappropriate content Slide 10: Recommendation of publishers: build rewarded flow into all apps experience & diversify portfolio age focus towards older ages as advertisers avoid targeting young kids Slide: Kidoz hosted a monetization panel with leading app publishers Edoki, StoryToys and TutoToons.
