Does Web presence increase print readership among local residents?


Three years ago the SMS Hawaii Market study began measuring the number of local residents who read local newspapers and magazines on the Web. As an example, whether the respondent indicated that they have or have not read a specific daily newspaper in the past 7 days, we asked the respondent whether they, themselves read the Web version of that paper in the past 7 days. It is important to note that the base measurement is not a ³readership² measurement is usually a measurement of ³read yesterday² for daily newspapers. It should also be noted that this is only one measurement of web effectiveness, and should be viewed with other available measurement sources.



Eighty three percent (83%) of Hawaii adults say that they have used the Internet in the past 30 days somewhere (not necessarily at home). Though general usage of the Internet is high, readership of the Web version of daily newspapers is low.



Web Impact on Daily Newspapers

Based on Past 7 days





The first calculation is a proportion analysis -- what percentage of readers of a specific daily newspaper read that paper¹s version on the Web. As an example, the total number of people that read the Hawaii Tribune Herald on the Web represents 8% of the statewide adults who read paper version of the Hawaii Tribune Herald in an average 7 days. However, how many of the Hawaii Tribune Herald Web readers are incremental readers -- in other words, read only the Web version--- it is 2% of all readers (web and paper version). The range is from 2% to 6% for the daily papers. (Note: Not included in these measurements are Web readers who do not reside in Hawaii.)



Web readership of newspapers and magazines is growing, but growing slowly. The proportionality and incremental readers are similar for magazines and weekly newspapers.

Some interesting marketing challenges arise. Is the incremental cost of Web administration justified? Are these incremental readers truly new readers, or would they have become paper version readers? How important is national and international exposure?

Since 1988 the SMS Hawaii Market Study has been Hawaii¹s primary provider of resident market data to advertisers, advertising agencies and marketers as well as to radio, magazine and television clients. SMS collects and analyzes information on consumer demographics, behavior, product and brand usage, and exposure to all forms of advertising-supported media.

Hawaii¹s leading marketers and agencies use SMS Hawaii Market Study data for market planning and analysis, strategic planning, target market identification, product launches, line extensions and brand positioning.

The annual study is based on approximately 2,500 completed interviews with a random sample of statewide residents, 18 years or older. The sample provides a sample error of less than 1%, at 95% confidence interval. The interviews use a combination of telephone and diary methods. The final sample is statistically balanced to reflect the state¹s resident population as reported by the U.S. 2000 Census.
