Maxim Men Online More, But Prefer TV for Ads

Although seven of ten men 18-34 are going online more than ever before, they consider television a better advertising medium, according to Maxim’s annual Man Study, conducted by Hall & Partners to evaluate media usage of US men, reports MediaPost.

Some findings from the study:

  • 71% of men age 18-34 spend more time online now than a year ago.
  • 83% said they watch less than 5 hours of TV per day.
  • If they were to create an ad themselves…
    • 74% said putting that ad on TV would be the “most effective” way to have it be seen by their demo.
    • 56% would use ads in magazines, 55% would use the web, 17% would use radio.
    • 48% of Maxim readers said they would use female models to target men.
    • 35% would attempt humor in the ad.
    • However, nearly 40% said they would simply ”focus on the product.”
  • 30% said they “enjoyed using social networking sites.”
  • 26% said they regularly “forwarded content to [their] friends online.”
