How Are Moms Using Social Media (And Why Does This Matter To Marketers)? | AllTwitter

How Are Moms Using Social Media (And Why Does This Matter To Marketers)? | AllTwitter | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Did you know that a recent study showed that almost half (44 percent) of moms have gone on to make a purchase after a friend posted a recommendation or liked a product on a social media site?

 

We’ve been here before, of course (many times), but it bears repeating – moms and social media make a great mix, and if these socially savvy ladies are a demographic fit for your business then you should absolutely be engaging with them – frequently – within your marketing campaigns.

 

You need more proof? Moms love to share information about products. Your products. More than nine in ten (92 percent) pass along information about deals or finds to others, and 78 percent of moms follow brands on social media to get coupons and discounts (compared to 55 percent of other folk).

 

They’re mobile, too – 89 percent of moms use their smartphone to check social media on the move....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Useful study that confirms several social media "truths."

What Were Consumers Doing for 121 Billion Minutes This Past July? | Marketing Pilgrim

What Were Consumers Doing for 121 Billion Minutes This Past July? | Marketing Pilgrim | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

According to stats-meister Nielsen, in July 2012, US consumers spent 121 billion minutes navigating the shark-infested waters of social media. Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and the rest — up 37% from July 2011 and that’s quite a feat.

 

The majority of the time was spent using a traditional computer, but look at mobile. The larger square represents Apps, the smaller, cell phone looking icon represents browser use through a mobile device. Together, they show a 63% increase over last year.


Breaking the numbers down, Nielsen found that women were responsible for most of the social media usage both on the PCA and through mobile. Ages 18-24 ate up the most minutes on the PC but Ages 25-34 snuck ahead on the mobile site, but not by much. Ethnically, speaking Hispanics were way out in front on mobile usage with PC usage being fairly evenly divided.
