Data Provides Insight Into What Motivates Moms and how Marketers
can Appeal to Them
LIVONIA, Mich.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/Moms?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#Momslt;/agt;–With Mother’s Day just around the corner, Valassis,
a leader in marketing technology and consumer engagement, released new
research on how today’s moms shop and make purchase decisions for food,
household goods and health and beauty care (HBC) items. Interestingly,
amid the changing grocery landscape and with the growing availability of
shopper-friendly technology, 2K19
Coupon Intelligence Report findings show moms are still
shopping brick-and-mortar retail.
When it comes to food purchases, 52% of moms do most or all of their
shopping in-store, compared to 27% of dads. For household items, 50% of
moms demonstrate this same behavior, versus 24% of dads. But when it
comes to HBC items, only 36% of moms opt for brick-and-mortar, compared
to 24% of dads. Since over half of moms indicate they need better
solutions to save more time (53%) and money (58%), retailers and brands
should consider this an opportunity to make improvements.
Overall, 79% said going to stores with the lowest prices is critical,
while almost 60% want to save the most money through the use of coupons
and discounts. One-in-three moms cites the highest priority when it
comes to grocery shopping is saving time, while over one-in-four says
the same about ease and convenience.
“Our data shows brick-and-mortar is still a first stop for moms,
although ecommerce is bringing an entirely new level of accessibility
and convenience – through innovations like our Add to Cart offering – to
modern online shoppers,” said Julie Companey, Director – Grocery,
Valassis. “Moms are balancing the need for speed, convenience and
savings. Retailers and brands that can deliver on these three
components, while also providing unique, personalized experiences, will
help win moms over.”

About the Study:
The study was fielded in the third quarter of 2018 in conjunction with a
global, third-party market research firm with proficiency in internet
surveys. The sample was derived from an online consumer opinion panel,
and all participants were at least 18 years of age and living in the
contiguous United States. Consumers were emailed an invitation to
participate in the survey and were given three days to complete it. The
survey was closed once 1,000 completed responses had been reached. The
responses were weighted by factors obtained from national census data to
provide appropriate representations of demographic groups at summary
levels.
