Social media influences moms’ consumer purchase behavior. Twitter moms are different.

Post this

New York, NY (PRWEB) August 25, 2016 -- Insight representing hundreds of thousands of dollars invested researching today’s moms purchasing behavior and influences will be presented by category headliners at the 12th annual M2Moms® - The Marketing to Moms Conference, October 4 & 5, 2016, New World Stages, NY, NY. Companies as diverse as Twitter, Ipsos, Collective Bias, Mom365 & The Bump will share the findings of their research. They’ll teach brand marketing and ad execs who attend M2Moms® how to build more business with today’s mothers, how to improve their marketing and sales to today’s mom consumers.

The research sessions, scheduled throughout the two day conference, all focus on the path to purchase of today’s moms. For example, to understand moms’ attitudes and shopping behaviors across a variety of product categories, Moms365's research, presented by Robbin Chaber Allen, Vice President of Strategic Alliances, surveyed thousands of expectant, new and not-so-new moms. The study uncovered surprising insights into how increasingly important social media is to today’s moms’ purchasing decisions.

Presenting with Allisha Watkins, Shopper Marketing Team Lead for Mars Inc., Collective Bias’s SVP, Marketing & Content, Holly Pavlika, will reveal the findings of a survey done for Mars Inc. examining moms’ digital path to purchase and how it drives in-store sales.

For the session, “Twitter Moms Know Best: The Most Influential Mothers On Social Media” presented by Diana Bach, Industry Marketing Group Manager, Twitter conducted quantitative and qualitative research that illustrates how social media influences moms’ consumer purchase behavior. It examines how moms are unique as consumers, the role social media plays in their lives as they navigate buying new categories and make purchases for their families, the changes in their media consumption habits, and what makes Twitter moms unique.

Janet Oak, SVP, Millennials, Kids and Family Center of Excellence at Ipsos, will present a unique deep analysis of data gathered from Wave 8 of their syndicated study, LMX Family – an annual study that tracks and examines the technology ownership and media lifestyles of moms and their families with kids 0-12 years old. It reveals how to reach multicultural moms, how to galvanize affluent moms and the most efficient way to tap into digitally inclined millennial moms.
 
The Bump’s Josh Himwich, VP, Product for XO Group will draw on the results of the Bump’s comprehensive “Ahead of the Curve” survey of over 10,000 first-time moms. The study reveals deep insights on what matters to today’s millennial moms. It shows how to reach moms in ways that feel authentic and connected and how today’s moms decide what to buy. Himwich will also discuss the emerging technologies, platforms and media moms are rapidly adopting.

According to Lauren Sweeney, M2Moms® producer, “Research is a key component of M2Moms® agenda, because moms continually change and evolve. Today’s moms market is very different from the moms market of even five years ago. It’s dominated by the rise of millennial moms, the tsunami of social media and the changing cultural and demographic composition of our population. These changes impact everything brands who market to moms do. ‘Know your market’ is the first thing they teach you in Marketing 101.”

“That’s why brand and ad execs from virtually every product category attend M2Moms®,” Sweeney explained. “They know the research and case studies, the new techniques and how-to sessions will really help them improve their marketing and sales. Moms are brand-critical decision makers for a broad range of products and services. The Fast Facts page on M2Moms® website is filled with statistics showing that moms buy everything from sports drinks to prom dresses, diapers to dog food, lipstick to laptops, autos to pharmaceuticals. They buy for their homes, for their kids and they plan and pay for the family vacation. They purchase on every channel, every possible screen … traditional and new media, they use it all.”

“Every year,“ Sweeney continued, “M2Moms® is attended by a comprehensive and diverse list of brands including Microsoft, Johnson & Johnson, Evenflo, IKEA, Abbott Nutritionals, GM, Allstate, Heinz, Symantec, Hasbro, BBC, NBA, Procter & Gamble, Wyeth and Coca-Cola. M2Moms® attendance typically sells out.”

2016 M2Moms® sponsors include Presenting Sponsor Google; Associate Sponsors: Mabel’s Labels, Twitter, Conill, and The Family Room; Showcase Sponsors: NBC Universal/Sprout, Ibotta, Influence Central, Ipsos, Lake Group Media, LifeScript, Macaroni Kid, C+R Research, Acorn, Strottman, Social Media Link, Collective Bias, C Space, Mom 365, LiquidPCH, The Bump, Sampler and the Baby Center.
