Browser Reports
The browser reports show up a very interesting change in today's possibilities to track HTM-sites: you can reach fewer visitors who are using Internet Explorer if you measure the traffic by embedding pages with scripts - such as advertising - from an external server. Up-to-date tracking tools measure that approximately 64% of the visitors of fashionoffice.org are using Firefox.

These results have high impact on running advertising from external domains (such as adservers) on a standardized webserver.

The randomized sample on all fashion & beauty domains shows following results (tracked by embedding pages from an external domain with installed Google Analytics Code):


Firefox 63.90%; Internet Explorer 26,63%; Opera 3.54%; Safari 3.02%; Mozilla 2.63%; Konqueror 0.15%; Netscape 0.06%; Camino 0.04%; NetFront 0.01%; internal zero-knowledge agent 0.01%

The Random Sample: The browser statistics present data which are definitely and nearly independent from the method of randomizing the sample as long as it is installed on regular HTM-sites of a standard webserver. That's the reason why they can be taken for further explanations.

Random Sample compared to Stats&Logs: We have checked the Stats&Logs delivered by fashionoffice.org provider Globat.com. The results of the logs from the fashion & beauty domains in May/June 2008 are listed below. By comparing the data it becomes obvious that statistical results from different technical systems differ enormously.

Effects on the Market of Publishers/Advertisers and adjoined branches (text, photo, video, music, programmers, artists, ...): If the download of intellectual property can not be charged with fees or with advertising by counting, publishers must go new ways to re-finance their work.

Perhaps the differing data are one of the reasons why many fashion publishers don't sell ad impressions but monthly ad campaigns in the tradition of printed magazines. (Check out the article at The New York Times "Where the Fashionistas Go for a Quick Fix", from 6th Aug 2008, http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/07/fashion/07ONLINE.html?pagewanted=1&_r=2)

Even the low CPM for Online advertising after pageviews and visits finds an explanation in the limited possibilities of ad-tracking. If statistical results of different measuring instruments show such discrepancies, the value of each adimpression - regardless in which media of the Internet - is diminished. Read following article about a current CPM 0,6 Dollar for fashion advertising online http://www.portfolio.com/news-markets/top-5/2008/08/06/American-Apparels-Internet-Ads?TID=email/news/top5.

TRAFFIC SOURCES

Tracking traffic is a challenge! Standardized webserver management and up-to-date tracking tools are in a permanent race; ones are trying to minimize traffic, others are working to measure actual data about pageviews, visits, traffic sources,...

This race is made upon the work of Online publishers by delivering and tracking their data and its usage.

Good examples for the troubles which are caused by this race give the results of the traffic sources for the domain fashionoffice.org.

Although fashionoffice.org was listed during the monitored period (4 June - 4 Aug) on the first page on Google.com, Google.de - excellent ranked even in other countries - search "fashion", Google Analytics tracks 0,067% of the visits sent from Google to www.fashionoffice.org.

The good ranking of fashionoffice.org on MSN.com search "fashion" is reported with 0,215% of the visits.

The list of search engines with similar, not nearly congruent results could be continued with except of one: 74,27% of the visits sent by search engines come from one: Yahoo! Yahoo has sent 2,40% of the visits from all traffic sources.

Media Usage in 2008:


Internet Activity Index (IAI):
www.online-publishers.org

Since August 2004 the Online Publishers Association (OPA) publishes the monthly Internet Activity Index (IAI), developed in connection with Nielsen//NetRatings.

The IAI offers a new way of looking at consumer engagement online; therefore the Internet usage is divided into five distinct activities: Content, Communications, Commerce, Community (added in March 2008) and Search. Nielsen Online captures the total amount of time spent by consumers in each category.

"Even with Community added, our initial data reflect the same pattern found over the last 15 months,” announced OPA president Pam Horan the new category in March 2008. “The bulk of consumers’ online time is spent with Content, well outpacing Communications and Commerce. While Content dominates, Search and Community capture relatively small shares of consumers’ overall online time.” Source: http://www.online-publishers.org/newsletter.php?newsType=pr&newsId=307

"Content" is described by OPA as "Web sites and Internet applications that are designed primarily to provide news, information and entertainment. Examples of those included in this segment are CNN.com, ESPN.com, Windows Media Player and MapQuest."

The IAI results for June 2008 show that Content accounts for most of consumers’ time online at 42,3%, while Community ranked fourth at 8,8%.

The report is published monthly on OPA www.online-publishers.org.



Germany Online: ard-zdf-onlinestudie.de

On 1st August 2008 the German national TV-Channels ARD/ZDF published the new study about the media usage of Germans. The time spent online grew from 54 minutes (2007) to 58 minutes; the Internet is now on 3rd rank of the used media/time (nationwide representative study during March/April; interviews with 1.802 persons, older than 14 years).

For the 14-19 years' old the Internet is the most important media: with 120 minutes they use the Internet more intensively than watching TV (100 minutes). This age group prefers multimedia applications and video: 92% are downloading video. Source: www.ard-zdf-onlinestudie.de


In US 20% TV viewers are watching online: www.immi.com

On 29 July 2008 Integrated Media Measurement Inc. (IMMI) released a new report that shows the rise of Online watching TV.

The computer is used increasingly as a substitute for the television. More females (55%) watch primetime episodes online than males (45%). The largest group of online TV viewers in US are women aged 25 to 44.

“Everyone’s been talking about the Internet becoming a substitute for television; however this is the first single-source passive data to show that the migration from one platform to another is actually occurring – and it’s happening fast.” Amanda Welsh, head of research for IMMI.

The Rise of the Internet: Video and better Content

>Online video changed the behaviour of the total population: the increased popularity of video explains the higher time spending with online content in general.

>The Internet offers more and better content than it did the years ago.

INSPIRATION FOR THE PERSONAL STYLE

The ranking “trendiest inspirations for style” shows that the Internet has a great authenticity for Fashionistas as a source for their personal style inspirations: Internet is ranked on the 1st place, followed by "street". Fashionistas are characterized by a strong self-awareness: their style is primarily inspired by themselves, on the 4th position are printed magazines, followed by friends.

These results point out that Online Fashionistas have a strong active - interactive - approach to the creation of their own style: three of the five first ranked items "Internet", "myself", and "friends" are sources which are determined by the user himself and change in the moment he interacts.

What's the explanation for this new media behaviour?

The average age of the fashionoffice readers is lower than the years before. The fashion experts of this voting about the trendiest inspirations for style are approximately 4 years younger than in 2007.

This explains why the ranking shows compared to the votings from former years brand new positions of the items. The new positions of the Internet and TV are corresponding with other research results like the above mentioned study by the German national TV-Channels ARD/ZDF (published on 1st Aug 2008) about media usage: for the 14-19 years' old the Internet is the most important media: with 120 minutes they use the Internet more intensively than watching TV (100 minutes). This age group prefers multimedia applications and video: 92% are downloading video. Source: www.ard-zdf-onlinestudie.de

MOBILE COMMUNICATION

Have you ever got a boring call from a phone company about the usage of your mobile? Perhaps there have been too many interviews about mobile communication in the last years, because the Online Fashionistas are not willing to speak about their phones any more.

Results from 1 July 07 - 9 March 08:
Multimedia Messaging Services (MMS) are the trendiest extra usage of mobile phones. Photo is still the trendiest extra usage of the mobile phone, followed by good old SMS, and on 3rd place music. Writing SMS and video became trendier in the last months; watch TV lost many percentages. This is a vote for running pictures, but perhaps against timed entertainment.

SUBJECT TO SPEAK ABOUT

The preferred subject to speak about isn't any longer sex! Instead of speaking about sex the interest to speak about "love" increased; you will find this item on the second place.

The focus on speaking about "fashion, clothes" is stronger than in the votings before; this could be explained with better working search engines and the growing understanding of the users to find specific information; such as information about fashion at fashionoffice. This result is very interesting for media planning as the spreading losses are minimised by reaching active readers who are high addicted to fashion.

After fashion and love the preferred subjects to speak about are "art", "design", and "music".

During this field period many users of fashionoffice have named additional themes which are important for them to speak about and which haven't been listed in the voting: 4,46% named themes about "self realization" like study, success, ..., 2,68% style, 1,19% each "culture" and "sport", ...

ZODIAC

In the voting of the internet fashionistas about the fashion qualities of zodiac signs, VIRGO gets the highest consensus: it stands for the pedantic one, everything has to fit together. AQUARIUS and LEO are the trendsetter, the early adopter of the must haves; LEO loves exclusivity, wears only top labels and best quality. SAGGITARIUS has the fewest votes for the fashion qualities "pedantic" and "exclusive". PISCES, AQUARIUS, and GEMINI are the signs which are attributed to creativity; TAURUS and CANCER are seen as the comfortable ones.

MUST HAVE: SHOE STYLE for Jeans, Mini-Dress, Long Skirt

The Internet Fashionistas tested their trendiness in Shoe Style and voted for the absolute Must-Haves for Jeans, Mini-Dress, and Long Skirt.

The High Heel Boots are no longer the favorite shoes for Jeans. Sportive Sneakers are the new number one for Jeans. The choice for comfortable shoes corresponds to the results of the voting about the trendiest style.

But Sneakers are obviously only a Must-Have for jeans; don't wear them with a Mini-Dress! The High Heel Boots even lost in the voting for the Must-Have for the Mini-Dress. Elegant Pumps are the favorite shoes for short dresses, skirts.

Flat Shoes are the overall winner in this voting: you can wear them to Jeans, the Mini-Dress and the Long Skirt. Stilettos constantly lost their trendiness in the votings during the last years: it seems as if the sinking popularity has stopped. Elegant Pumps are always a good choice.

MUST HAVE: MATERIAL

Since 2004 the comfortable and practicable cotton is the most favoured material. In 2006 the votes for cotton increased and can be partly explained by the dominant importance of jeans. Cotton is followed by silk and chiffon. Similar to the must haves in clothes (and even shoes), the users vote first of all for “sexy” items: seductive fabrics, which present the body with its sexy lines and curves and let the skin shine through (41,83% in sum for silk, jersey, chiffon). Since 2004 fur becomes more and more important. Stiff falling taffeta is on the last place.

MUST HAVE: STYLE

„An open mind“ is the most important (life)style for the users of online fashion & lifestyle information and entertainment sources and reflects their individual philosophy. Other high ranked styles of personal philosophies and concepts of living are “romantic“ and increasingly "comfortable"; a trend which fits perfectly in the upcoming "casual look" (take a look at the voting results of "Personal Style"). "Romantic", "passion" and "zest" - three items which express a very emotional and devoted lifestyle - became less important.

Personal STYLE

For this voting we haven't asked if "stylish, trendy" or "chic" are the trendiest personal styles, because these answers say nothing. They have been used by the ones who have no concrete idea about their personal style or by the ones who are switching between different styles.

Without any additional new items the voting of this field period shows that the trendiest personal styles are comfort, vintage, romantic, and casual. It is still important to have an unique style. The glamour style becomes less important, the classic style still grows. The majority of the Online Fashionistas prefers the relaxed styles.

ACTOR 2008

For the first time the Internet Fashionistas had the chance to vote for an actor; but surprise: the voting for the most fashionable male actor was of no interest for the users. The fact that users of fashionoffice.org are not participating in a voting about "Test your trendiness in FILM! Decide who is the most fashionable actor" is the most interesting result here: this is a decision against a ranking of male actors by the mainly female Internet Fashionistas in fashionoffice.org.

The few votes went to:

Justin Timberlake 38,5 %
Johnny Depp 30,8 %
Brad Pitt 15,4 %
George Clooney 7,7 %

MEN’S STYLE + most fashionable actor, trend leading designer for men

The users described with an adjective the trendiest men's style. Modern Vintage is with 15,38% the favorite men's style, followed by Metrosexual, Casual, and Unique. The former trendiest styles Urban and Street have lost many votes.

Modern Vintage was already the great winner of styles in the last voting. Before, in early 2007, many users named this style in an open question and in 2008 it succeded as the style with the most votes. Unique is an other upcoming style.

MEN’S STYLE 2006

In 2006 the “Globetrotter” is with approximately 41% the winner of the "Trend leading Men's Style" voting. His adventurous style is similar to the “Nomade”, who was the favorite in the years before. The "Globetrotters" open mind, his love for living with foreign cultures, and the comfortable casual, sporty styling with grungy, retro influences have convinced the users. The "Dandy" is ranked on the second position and is a type of "Crossdresser". The "Samurai" is a new style in this ranking. This urban look is new and different to the bonvivant style of the "Sicilian" in the former votings.

"Dandy", especially the British "Dandy" with this relaxed, irresistible retro flair is ranked on the second position. This man has the genius of Sherlock Holmes. James Bond learned from him how to be cool. The “British” touch comes from check, tweed and new Argyle patterns.

"Globetrotter" in the grungy-classical clothes represent the favorite style of the online users. The adventurer loves to live with foreign cultures. Lime and melon of the refreshing oasis, sandy and earthy beige reflect his Saharan spirit.

"Samurai" is an urban style. His clothes have the obligation to serve the owner. The hardware is modern and luxurious: natural fabrics in cotton, silk, tropical-weight wool translate his classical cut clothes into a vision of future.

Globetrotter 40,7 %

MEN’S STYLE

The question „What will be the trend leading men’s style 2005?“ evokes a very clear vote:

The „Nomade“ ranks on the 1st place. He wears for example very informal trousers, a comfortable jacket in chocolate brown over a wide cut shirt – worn outside the trousers. His shoes are made for long city walks. Sporty sneakers with retro touch make the image of the modern nomade complete. His philosophy: keep your mind open. The „Crossdresser“ becomes more important in the 2nd and 3rd quarter of 2005. He is the style architect. He lives in traditional role models but at the same time invents his own individual future. His outfit reflects this kind of personal style architecture for example by very British suits in combination with a sporty vest– filled with downy feathers. The „Sicilian“ represents the bonvivant of the 21st century. He mainly lives for intensive amusements at his spare time. So you can recognize him for example by his tight cut suit in pastel tones, provocative ties and eccentric shoes.
