Posted in: Internet MarketingTags:
Retailers trying to influence moms should pay close attention to their social media efforts and also focus on free items, promotions and discounts, according to a Retail Advertising and Marketing Association (RAMA) survey conducted by BIGresearch. The study found that women with children at home are more likely to use Facebook (60.3%), MySpace (42.4%) and Twitter (16.5%) than average adults (50.2%, 34.4%, 15.0%, respectively). Moreover, 15.3% maintain their own blog. Not surprisingly, moms frequently share experiences and information, and say other people’s opinions influence their purchases, the survey found. Nine out of 10 (93.6%) mothers regularly or occasionally seek the advice of others before buying a service or product.
