Let me paint a picture of the day in the life of one of our country's 21.6 million Working Moms*. She gets up and gets her children ready for the day. By the time she prepares a quick and healthy breakfast, she is likely already checking her email. Next, our Working Mom is off in her car, most likely catching up on some early phone calls. During her work day, she might take a break and check out the free shipping offer she received from Gymboree.com. After work, she'll stop by her grocery store, coupons in hand, to buy dinner, or, if it's a particularly busy day, her family may have McDonald's or Subway instead. After the kids have watched recorded episodes of "Sponge Bob" via the DVR on her HDTV and are off to bed, she may do a little yoga to unwind or go for a run if she can. And then it's back online for one final check of email and perhaps another online purchase or two, but not before reminding her husband to keep his schedule clear on Saturday because this is the weekend they are finally going to paint the living room. The many Working Moms reading this post right now may find the above profile obvious. But to the companies interested in selling products to the Working Mom, it gives clues to how marketers can best gt conectd with this consumer group. For example: Working Moms are well connected and ready mobile marketing targets. Working Moms are among the country's highest spenders on cellular phone services, spending 21% more than the average cellular user on their monthly wireless bills. Further, Working Moms are 42% more likely than the average cellular user to download content to their phone. Her high spending on cellular services together with her propensity to download content via her cell phone imply that mobile marketing could be an important platform for reaching her with product announcements, offers and other promotions. Working Moms are not shy with new technology. The Working Mom keeps her family updated with the most current technology. If she does already own the HDTV, Video Game System or MP3 device, she is in the market to upgrade it. Technology brands profit in targeting the Working Mom, and marketers can use high-end technology to promote goods and services to her. Marketers can connect by giving the Working Mom more "Me Time." The Working Mom is very active, and more likely than the average adult to enjoy fitness activities (such as jogging or bike riding) and outdoor activities (like gardening and camping). But she also likes to unwind with a trip to the day spa or health club. How she spends her "Me Time" clues marketers into her mindset, and suggests that promotions built around her active lifestyle could be impactful. The Working Mom likes a good deal. An avid user of coupons, she gets them in every form: from the Sunday paper, product packaging, and even via text message or email. Providing coupons in their many forms to the Working Mom could be a key component to any new product launch targeted to her. A day in the life of a Working Mom will vary depending on her geography. Don't forget about the power of local targeting. The Honolulu Working Mom will have a different family profile -- such as home ownership or age of her children -- than the Des Moines Working Mom. Make sure that when you target nationally, you consider activating locally. In summary, remember this: One out of three households has two incomes. This implies that full-time employment is a necessity and/or desire for many Moms. In simple economic terms, it also means she has more household budget to spend. Don't forget about her.
