Clothing retailers do three times as much mobile advertising as electronics retailers

Millenial Media’s latest SMART report contains some interesting information about the breakdown of mobile advertising campaigns. We assumed that retailers selling technology – computers, mobile phones etc – would be one of the heaviest advertisers from the retail sector. Turns out, according to this research, that retailers selling clothes make up almost a third of the retail mobile advertising activity. Computers and electronics as a category is in 4th place after clothing, household goods and fast food.

The mix changes significantly when it comes to mobile campaigns using location-based targeting when fast food and restaurants account for 60% of activity.
