Marketing to Moms on Facebook Report

Seems everyone today wants to advertise to moms.  But how do you get the attention of and connect with the most busy people on the planet?

A lot of marketers I've talked with feel the answer may lie in social media, especially Facebook.

Kevin Burke and Lisa Finn at Lucid Marketing did a survey to find out how moms feel about advertisers on Facebook.

The study looked at how moms use Facebook as well as delving into how they feel about various forms of marketing on the site.  It also asked for direct feedback on how marketers should connect with them through the site. 

Moms are receptive to advertising on Facebook when it follows their rules

Although moms' primary motivation for being on Facebook is social connection, they are receptive to marketing on the site, as long as it's done in a non-intrusive way and offers them real value.

Three-quarters of moms are fans of at least one company on Facebook, and parenting-specific sites are moms' top picks.  To win with moms on Facebook, marketers should:

• Develop interactive promotions and ask for mom's opinions
• Offer coupons, exclusive offers or discounts for fans, and "share with a friend" promotions
• Be careful not to bombard moms with updates or ads, or to make unrealistic-sounding offers

Lucid Marketing's Moms on Facebook Survey was conducted online in July 2009.  The report includes behavioral and attitudinal data and open-ended feedback on marketing techniques, as well as a marketing playbook for reaching moms on Facebook.

it's unfortunate that there are not many reputable companies using facebook advertising, the majority of adverts seem to belong to weird, scammy companies!

Advertising for your company through Facebook can indeed be quite effective. In fact I think any social community site can prove to be an effective medium for promoting any product or service.

At some time or another I have said similar things about Domino's. The fact that they acknowledge their shortcomings and work to improve them gives me a reason to try them again. I think it's a smart strategy and it sends a message that they are willing to listen and adapt to my wants.

Interesting. I can see why discounts and coupons would be enticing to moms, and it's a very good observation on your part to notice that moms don't fancy being bombarded by too much advertising.
