AMR Interactive survey

In a recent survey of 2,076 peopled aged 15-24, 42% of respondents said they were not interested in brands when shopping. Older teenagers and people in their 20s were less likely to be interested in brands, while younger respondents brought brands their friends favoured.

One-fifth of respondents said they were more likely to buy a brand if it was on sale.

Kmart, Target and Big W were favourite shops.

Favourite brands included Cadbury, Coca-Cola, Billabong and Rip Curl.

Given $100 dollars to spend, 58% of young women would spend it on clothes, compared with 32% of young men.

(This is the part I didn't read out for some stupid reason:)

Almost half of the respondents watched more than two hours of television a day. 60% said Channel 10 was their favourite station. 80% said that watching DVDs at home was their favourite activity.

Three quarters said television advertising influenced their purchasing decisions, followed by magazine advertising and editorial, newspaper ads and ads on the Internet. One-third of respondents went online 'several times a day', and more than a third said they sent advertising links to friends.
