The Power of Smartphone Release Date
Knowing the age a device is valuable to advertisers and enhances audience analytics. The age of a user’s device visiting your website is a excellent indicator of whether that viewer is an early adopter. If a visitor to your website is using the latest iPhone or Samsung Galaxy, then they are likely to be among early adopters. This audience segment is much more willing to spend income on new items and frequently upgrade. More importantly, they influence other mainstream buyers when they are ready to purchase. Profiling users by the age and price of their phone is an extremely useful tool to target the audience advertisers crave.
Detect Smartphone Release Date On Your Website
ScientiaMobile can help you instantly identify the age of smartphones, tablets and other devices visiting your site by using our WURFL capability release_date. It returns the month and year the device model was released. It is very important to have the monthly granularity to gauge upgrade cycles and age more precisely. You can see the results of your own smartphone by visiting our Device Detector Tool.
To integrate WURFL device detection into your website and leverage release date, you have a number of WURFL product options to choose from. After integrating WURFL, your applications can use release_date to target advertising or deliver customized content to certain smartphone profiles.
