The Core Values of Moms
Maria Bailey, mom marketing expert, speaks at the Utah Food Industry Association (August, 2015) about the core values of moms:
Presidential Candidates, Take Note: Market to Moms to Win Election ‘16
If the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world, that same hand could also choose the next US president. With almost 40 million moms heading to the polls in a little more than one year, it’s time for presidential candidates to pay attention to the issues and expectations of this powerful voting bloc. In…
Millennial Moms Redefine Work
As they have done with most aspects of life, Millennial Moms have put their own mark on the workplace and how they view employment. Millennials now compose 34% of the workforce according to the Department of Labor Statistics, outnumbering Boomers and Gen Xers who represent 32% combined. By 2020, they will represent 46% of all…
Periscope Up
I admit it; I’m crazy about Periscope. A relative newborn on the social media scene, Periscope is the iPhone app that lets you live stream video through Twitter from virtually anywhere in the world. An industry article earlier this month reports 10 million Periscope users with almost 2 million account holders opening the app on…
What Moms Are Watching This Summer (Other Than TV)
Video, video, video. It’s a topic I’ve posted about often, perhaps at the risk of sounding like a broken record. (Would Millennial Moms even know what that cliché refers to?) However, a recent study illustrates again the overwhelming use of video among moms of all generations, with higher numbers among Millennial Moms who love the…
The BOGO Of Offline Events
As I watched a mom snap a picture of a BOGO cereal display in my local grocery store last week (that she most likely shared on Facebook and Instagram), it reminded me of the importance of offline social interactions with moms that become a two-for-one, or BOGO opportunity for marketers. Face-to-face gatherings, formal or informal,…
Celebrating The Involved Millennial Dad
Let’s turn the spotlight on millennial dads. We all know that millennial moms are the hot topic right now, with this youngest generation of mothers (and all millennials) set to become the largest generation of consumers this year. Moving into the top spot of influence with moms are the dudes who, like moms, view fatherhood much…
Celebrating The Involved Millennial Dad
Of the many differences between Millennial Moms and their predecessors, there is one influence that is worth noting for marketers and that is the redefined role of grandparents. The Millennial Moms’ parents as grandparents play a much bigger and more detailed role in the family, not only for the Moms but also for their children.…
The Importance Of Relationships To Millennial Moms
There is probably no other word that holds as much importance in effective marketing to mothers than the word relationship, and no other generation places more value on the word than Millennial Moms. It’s a word that I typically tie to adjectives such as relevant, timely, meaningful and transparent. As marketers, while we know relationships…
The International Business Of Marketing To Moms
The World Wide Web has created myriad opportunities for business from ecommerce to global insights within a keyboard’s distance. The business of marketing to moms has been untouched by the ability to share ideas and relationships. I’m often asked about the world of moms and marketing outside U.S. borders, especially if companies are contemplating an…
