• Striving Moms: Convenience and budget are major influences for these moms with limited funds and busy lives. While generally less receptive to advertising, they are among open to mobile ads.

• Conventional Moms: Appeal to their traditional values and family-first mindset. With money to spend but a lack of interest in shopping, e- and m-commerce are key to closing the deal.

• Alpha Moms: The most tech-savvy, these affluent moms should be targeted through most digital media, especially mobile. She’s open to advertising and is a major force of influence in her own right.

• Modest Moms: They are ad receptive and say television is their main source of entertainment. They are more likely to part with their limited funds if it’s something for the kids.

• Maverick Moms: Give them access to information that they can use to decide for themselves if they want to form a relationship with your brand is the best approach.
