Sixty-two percent of families who stream kids- and family-oriented content recently surveyed report having no access to linear TV, and 90% claim they rarely watch it.
The survey of 300-plus
streaming families was commissioned by Future Today, which offers family-oriented advertising video-on-demand platform channels distributed by platforms like Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV and Comcast
Xfinity.
Not surprisingly, the results tend to support the benefits of family AVOD content for advertisers looking to target millennial parents.
They indicate that streaming
families are young, and more diverse than the general population. Among the families polled, 85% of the parents were in the 25-to-44 age range, 78% identify as Hispanic and 36% as Black.
Nearly all (98%) of the families polled said they “love” watching TV, and 81% agreed it’s their favorite form of entertainment.
According to parents’ reports, 60% of
kids who see ads — even ads in categories broader than kid-specific products, like travel, restaurants, food and even insurance and automotive — talk about the ads afterwards.
Parents also said that more than half (52%) of kids ask them to buy products they see in ads.
If an ad message resonates with kids, “they are vocal about it to parents, influencing
purchases and brand equity,” notes Vikrant Mathur, Future Today’s co-founder.
