NEW YORK, Feb. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- OfferMobi, the first and leading US-based performance marketing network for mobile advertising campaigns, today announced the results of its 2011 Valentine's Day Smartphone Mobile Dating Study and Infographic.

To conduct the study, OfferMobi drove mobile traffic to an audience of several thousand Smartphone users spanning all age and demographic profiles who express interest in mobile dating sites via Smartphone devices throughout the United States from February 1 to February 9, 2011. The report solicited a wide range feedback from all participants, and generated responses from mobile display ads targeted to iPhone, Android and Blackberry devices as well as mobile ads on networks including AdMob, JumpTap, and InMobi.

Additionally, OfferMobi targeted similar budgets and mobile ad bid prices for all three Smartphone platforms. The intention of the study was to gain knowledge based directly on  consumer behavior  that will support OfferMobi in optimizing campaigns and offers for its mobile dating advertisers on their network and insights into Smartphone usage.

Some of the most notable findings from OfferMobi's 2011 Valentine's Day Mobile Dating Infographic include:

  • While love knows no age boundaries, mobile dating seems to be an exception, with an overwhelming 95 percent of mobile dating users being under the age of 50.
