Report Summarizes Mobile Insights About Moms
BOSTON – In its newly released May MobileSTAT, Jumptap, Inc., the leading unified audience platform, reports on top mobile trends for Moms.
“Tablet usage is most common in the home, which supports stay-at-home Moms’ heavier usage of the device”
Data from the Jumptap network show that working Moms are two percent more likely than stay-at-home Moms to be on a smartphone, while stay-at-home Moms are 20 percent more likely to be on a tablet than working Moms.
“Tablet usage is most common in the home, which supports stay-at-home Moms’ heavier usage of the device,” Matt Duffy, VP of Marketing at Jumptap. “As the May MobileSTAT proves, Moms tend to be heavy tablet users overall, which is why Jumptap encourages its advertisers to incorporate a cross-device strategy when trying to reach the demographic.”
May MobileSTAT Findings:
- Moms Love iPod Touch: Data from the Jumptap network show that Moms use the iPod Touch more than any other smart device. In fact, Moms are 114 percent more likely than the average consumer to own an iPod Touch. Other popular smart devices for Moms include the Galaxy S, Galaxy Exhibit, LG Optimus, and iPhone. While the iPhone is the second most popular device for Moms, they are 47 percent less likely than the average consumer to own one. Advertisers looking to ensure efficient reach of Moms should leverage a cross-device targeting strategy.
- Moms Looks Beyond iPad: According to data from comScore, Moms are 13 percent more likely than the average consumer to own a tablet and now represent 27 percent of all tablet users in the U.S. Data from Jumptap show that while the iPad is the most popular tablet for Moms, the demographic is eight percent less likely than the average consumer to own one. Moms are much more likely than the average consumer to own the Nexus 7 (116 percent) or the relatively unknown and low-priced Zeepad (4,000 percent). The Zeepad is an Android tablet that is claimed to be the most inexpensive tablet device made in the U.S. The inclusion of these lower-priced tablets suggests that Moms look for value in smart devices. It also reinforces the notion that advertisers should run campaigns across various platforms and different model types to maximize reach.
- Moms’ Mobile Usage Spikes on Weekends: On average, consumers spend roughly the same amount of time on mobile every day of the week, with no discernible spikes in usage. Moms display a very different pattern: mobile usage among Moms spikes on weekends and dips on Thursdays and Fridays. The weekend spike is likely due to the flurry of family activities that require smartphone help (shopping, maps, movie tickets, social sharing, etc.). The dip we see on Thursdays and Fridays is due to a sharp decrease in social media usage across the board. Advertisers targeting Moms should consider heavy-up campaigns on weekends.
- Mobile Soccer Moms Lead An Active Lifestyle: Following a recent mobile ad campaign targeting the ‘Soccer Moms’ segment from third-party data partner Datalogix, Jumptap leveraged its Audience+ Insights Platform to analyze the campaign’s over four million impressions with the goal of more deeply understanding the segment. The Jumptap data show that those in the ‘Soccer Mom’ segment are 27 percent more likely than the average consumer to be an Olympics fan and 94 percent more likely to prefer running. Consumers in this segment are also 60 percent more likely than the average consumer to purchase sun care products and 15 percent less likely to purchase pet care products.
