Moms are word of mouth champions

In a recent study for BabyCenter Moms-to-be and those with children under five years of age were surveyed looking at their online word of mouth activities.

Today’s pregnant women and new moms engage in one-third more word of mouth conversations per day than the total public or women and almost two-thirds of these conversations include brand recommendations. This group has an average of 109 word of mouth conversations per week about products, services and brands, most of which are positive and considered highly credible by other moms.

Here are the main points from the report:
