Digital Moms in the US are an increasingly important demographic for marketers. Mothers are accumulating more wealth and making more shopping choices and using more technology than the average person. Digital moms are more likely to be owners of smartphones and more likely to consult others when making purchase decisions.
How should mobile marketers tap into this important segment?
Here are a number of mobile stats that can help marketers effectively market to digital moms.
Moms have money. An article from Asking Smarter Questions provides some key statistics about both women and mothers. Moms represent a $2.4 trillion market in the US. By 2028, the average American woman is expected to earn more than the average American male. Women are earning, spending, and influencing spending at a greater rate than ever before, accounting for $7 trillion in consumer and business spending in the US. Women are making more than 85% of all consumer purchases, including more than 50% of traditional male products, such as cars, power tools and consumer electronics.
Moms are socially connected via mobile. In a study by NM Incite, at least half of moms use social media via mobile devices, compared to 37% of the online population. In an article from Asking Smarter Questions, 64% of moms ask other mothers for advice before they purchase a new product and 63% of all mothers surveyed consider other moms the most credible experts when they have questions. Additionally, 92% pass along information about deals or finds to others. Moms are using Facebook and Pinterest to share tips, product recommendations and shopping deals with their friends.

Great info. Mobile marketing is extremely powerful. Yes twice as many people now use their mobile phones versus their PC each day, so there’s a much larger audience to reach (more money to be made.) But there are also many different methods of mobile marketing to cater to different people’s preferences, allowing you to appeal to a larger percentage of that bigger market. It’s super effective with very high ROI’s. Basically, with mobile marketing you can do much more with much less…a marketer’s dream.
