Young mothers – say ages 18 to 32 – are a hot demographic that many advertisers would like to woo, so what types of ads do they actually respond to? According to a new study, when it comes to mobile ads, Canadian mothers are more likely to click on images of babies.
Adweek is sharing the details of a collaboration between Johnson & Johnson’s BabyCenter and the Interactive Advertising Bureau’s Mobile Marketing Centre of Excellence. The study looked at the ad-tapping habits of mobile Moms in four countries – the U.S., Brazil, the U.K., and Canada. Here’s some of the highlights:
- Only 15 per cent of Canadian Moms say they trust native ads, compared to 20 per cent in the U.S. and 36 per cent in Brazil.
- When it comes to what type of photos U.S. Moms responded to, baby images got 77 per cent, while running on the beach gets only 20 per cent.
- Millennial Moms spend 2.8 hours per day on smartphone or tablet devices, which is more than they spend even watching TV.

Thinking about how to target your most-desired demographics is always a worthwhile exercise for marketers. When it comes to young Moms, it looks like they are just about as inseparable from their smartphone as they are from their kids.
