New spending number and trends are a part of in-depth look at this tech-savvy, connected generation of young mothers.
With a tap, swipe or click, 13 million Millennial Moms will spend over $750 billion in the U.S. this year. And their economic impacts will only increase as the number of Millennial Moms is expected to at least double over the next decade, according to just-released research by BSM Media. With the top of the curve still to be reached, knowing the demands and expectations of Millennial Moms will drive even more business growth, likely to historic levels.
Technology use, purchasing behaviors, social trends, voting power and much more are detailed in a new book by marketing to moms expert Maria Bailey, Millennial Moms, 202 Facts To Help Drive Brands and Sales (Wyatt-MacKenzie, 2015). Debuting last week as an Amazon #1 PR and Marketing “Hottest New Release”, the book features an in-depth look at the background and influence of these moms, plus tactics to empower companies that want to tap in to this lucrative consumer group.
A sneak peek of the book, based on five years of research on Millennial Moms, reveals five eye-opening facts about these dynamic younger mothers from tech usage to transparency to how they will vote in 2016.
What makes Millennial Moms tick?
