Tuning into Mom
Understanding America's Most Powerful Consumer
American mothers are household CFOs
In charge of an estimated $2.45 trillion in direct spending, American mothers are also an important influence on other family members' buying habits. Many organizations have identified moms as an important customer group, but the broad, age-based definitions these companies work with mask an array of different consumer behaviors.
Understanding the "American Mom" market
Written by two leading marketers, this book provides a new approach to understanding the "American Mom" market, examining the effect of age of the eldest child on women's values and attitudes to food, exercise, education, health, technology, and fashion. The authors examine the mom's influence on (or control of) the purchasing habits of children of all ages; from infants and toddlers to young adults.
Focus on teenage influence
In doing so, it brings focus to the frequently-overlooked purchase influence of moms on teenagers. The authors combine large scale quantitative research of more than 4,700 mothers with qualitative case studies from individual participants. They also draw on decades of real-world experience to combine their research with implementable examples of best practice.
Target audience and value
Highly recommended for practitioners in retailing and product development, this book will also be a valuable supplemental text for college courses in consumer behavior and marketing strategy.
