Amanda Lenhart spoke to the “Media and the Well-Being of Children and Adolescents” conference at the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania. The conference brought together academics, researchers, non-profits and industry to discuss the effects of media on child mental and physical health and well-being. In her talk, Amanda focused on bringing together data that highlights the demographic differences among groups of youth in their adoption, use and experiences with technology and social media. While such data may have illustrated what was called a “digital divide” in the past, it now highlights a variety of digital differences among groups of youth.

This is a stub deck of a larger internal presentation on two things:
1) ad formats and mediums and how we do a poor job matching the message to the medium
2) the downfall of the current obsession with targeting. Why creative triumphs over data every time but media agencies and clients are focused on where they can see small gains instead of GIANT GAINS in their ROI

Do you make some of your money locally, and some of your money remotely, or online?
If you answered “yes” to this question, then you’re Semi-Local.

31. Executive Summary
Online Shopping Incidence and Behaviour
• Virtually all (99.7%) internet users have visited a shopping site online and 72% do
so everyday
• Two-thirds of Vietnamese online shoppers access shopping sites online and 45%
do so on a desktop PC – only 22% use their smartphone and just 8% use a tablet
• A staggering 88% have ever bought something online, with 20% claiming more
than 25 purchases to date and a median of 8.75 purchases
• Most have bought things through coupon sites (65%) and classified ad sites (29%),
with 13% buying through commercial sites and 11% through online retailer sites
• Even among the 12% who have never bought anything online, 4% do not rule out
the possibility that they will – nor are never-shoppers more prevalent among the
older age groups, indeed older respondents (35-54 years) appear to contain more
heavy buyers than younger age groups
• Most commonly bought items are fashion (61%), house appliances (42%), food
and beverages (37%), mobile devices (37%) and cosmetics (31%). Least likely to
have been purchased online are phone apps and software (12%).
• Average (median) spend on last item purchased was approx. VND 367,000 (US$
17.6), though 8% said they spent over 5 million VND (US$ 240)
32. Executive Summary
Online Shopping Incidence and Behaviour
• But given poor access to credit and low bank usage in Vietnam, cash on delivery
dominates e-commerce in Vietnam - three quarters of last purchases were by cash
on delivery to home and only 5% made by credit or debit card
• Vietnamese on-line buyers feel comfortable buying online - with a plurality (38%)
believing that online shopping is better than face-to-face shopping, while just 25%
feel it is worse and two-thirds saying they will buy online again in future
• They also believe most items can be sold online – though electronic devices and
mobile devices are thought to be least appropriate to be bought online, while few
people reject buying travel services and tickets online
Non-buyers
• Among never buyers, around 75% have window-shopped online and wanted to
buy something that they could afford, but did not buy it, with 40% citing the higher
price online than in the shops as the major disincentive, followed by the need to
touch and feel the objects (32%)
• Trust appears to remain a barrier among those who have never bought online.
Three-quarters agree that making payments remains dangerous and less than half
(40%) agree that you can be reasonably sure of delivery if you buy something over
the internet.
33. Executive Summary
• Over half also appear to enjoy the shopping experience and finding out about new
products the old fashioned way
Online Selling Incidence
• While 88% have ever bought online, just 34% have ever sold anything online –with
the incidence of selling new and used goods being roughly equal
• Nevertheless, interest in selling online is high even among those who have never
done so – with over half (57%) saying they will likely sell something online in
future
• However, potential sellers are put off from selling online primarily by not knowing
where to source merchandise (46%), or what to sell (42%), or how to
advertise/promote the product online (42%) or establishing a payment system
(40%)
• The most common items sold online are mobile devices (13% of all respondents
have sold these online), fashion items (9%) and electronic devices (3%) and these
are mostly sold over classified sites (21%)
34. Executive Summary
Conclusions
• Persons who join internet panels are self-selected and hence can be expected to
be more active online than the average internet user. But even accounting for this,
this survey indicates that internet commerce is here to stay in Vietnam and can
only be expected to grow.
• Vietnamese netizens feel comfortable online and a surprising number have
bought (88%) and sold (34%) online already.
• However, online commerce in Vietnam has adopted a peculiarly Vietnamese flavor
in accordance with the state of financial development. Three quarters of
transactions are completed using cash on delivery whereby a delivery man rides
the ubiquitous motorcycle to your door to deliver your order. Credit and debit
cards are so rare that only 5% of last transactions were paid in this way.
• Trust in payment systems, and doubts about whether goods will be delivered also
remain as significant barriers to online commerce in the minds of never buyers –
even though two-thirds agree that online purchases save time, and possibly money
over face to face shopping.
• But as confidence in the banking and payments systems improves, these barriers
are also likely to slowly dissolve and internet commerce can only thrive and grow.
