MBPT Spotlight: Nielsen Sports Report Offers Marketers Some Insights Into Reaching Fans
05/03/2015
Within the data pages of each sport, Nielsen breaks out three of what it calls fan insights, or particular targeted data that sheds light on how the fans of each sport use various products or maintain different consumer habits compared to the average U.S. adult.
The data in the report was, according to the measurement company, compiled using Nielsen Talent Analytics, which represents the collective Nielsen intelligence, insights and solutions for linking brands and audiences across the entertainment industry.
The report also highlights TV watching, twitter usage and viewing on myriad devices, and chronicles ways fans used to view their favorite teams. It also recaps viewing and demo data from all the major sports and events during 2014.
One major digital highlight in the report points out that a collective 72.3 million Americans consumed a staggering 71 billion minutes of sports content in October 2014 alone, and those numbers will only continue to grow. In the two years between October 2012 and October 2014, the average user increased his or her monthly time spent on mobile sports content by 35%.
But the report also points out that despite the growth in digital sports viewing, and continued large numbers of watching on TV, radio still draws a sizable number of sports listeners. The report says sports radio attracts 23 million weekly listeners who tune in for an average of 4 hours per week. And contrary to what many might expect, 29% of that listening occurs in the home.
Sports radio listeners are also a desirable marketing target. Compared to the U.S. population, sports radio listeners trend as highly educated and wealthy. Over 50% earn more than $75,000 per year and 46% have a college degree.
With the NBA season moving closer to the playoffs, Nielsen's NBA audience data should be of particular interest to marketers right now; the report also has a section on NASCAR, whose season just began; and Major League Baseball, whose telecast season begins next month.
While all fans have increased their time watching the NBA over the past 10 years, the jump in African-American viewership has risen 63% in the ten years from the 2003-04 season to the 2013-14 season.
Hispanics are also big followers of NBA telecasts, with the average 18-34 millennial in the demo having spent 456 minutes watching NBA games during the 2013-14 regular season, an increase of 13% from 10 years ago. Average time spent watching by African-Americans in the demo rose by 56% with white viewership rising by 43% in the past decade.
The NBA also has one of the youngest fan bases among all the sports with 43% of the audience under 35.
Here some interesting factoids about the consumer habits of each sport's fans as presented in the report:
