Moms with mobile devices are a highly optimized population in the digital economy. These valuable mobile consumers are “addicted” to their devices – they spend over 6 hours a day on their smartphone.
The mobile Web and social media are proving to be a valuable resource for mothers - moms in the United States are increasingly turning to this quick and convenient way to access information and their social resources. In turn, they are establishing themselves as a valuable part of the mobile economy, as mobile ad network Mojiva determined in their “Moms on Mobile” report. Brands and marketers would do well to strategize for connected mothers - this population represents $2.4 trillion in 2011 buying power. Because they are often active on social media (over half access social networks through their mobile device) they are likely to support or promote favorite brands or products - 35 percent follow a company or brand and 81 percent are a fan of a brand.
Moms like smartphones best than any other media
Smartphone-wielding mothers are active and engaged participants in mobile usage – they spend an average of 6.1 hours on their device per day. These moms know they are power users – 51 percent describe themselves as “addicted” to their smartphone. Usage patterns show an optimal marketing environment – smartphones receive more attention than other media (above computer, TV, newspapers, etc.) and nearly half have taken action after seeing a mobile ad. According to the report, the best way to engage moms is to create ways to make their lives “more efficient and productive.” Because of their high social media usage, “[they] should also strive to create products they believe a mom will share with other moms in her peer groups and circles.”
And are engaged tablet users for shopping
While these moms love their smartphones, they often have other connected devices. One third have some sort of secondary mobile device – the top three devices being the iPad (9.8 percent), Kindle (9.5 percent) and iPod Touch (5.7 percent). High engagement remains consistent among this group, and they are valuable electronics consumers as well. Among 1,500 tablet-owning mothers, 97 percent have used that device to make a purchase, and 47 percent plan on replacing their current iPad with the newest model as soon as possible. Connected moms are hence very valuable targets for brands as well as connected device manufacturers.

The number of mobile ad impressions keeps increasing

Impressions share by carrier, device and OS all are shifting as the mobile economy matures. In turn, customers are spending more per mobile transaction.

The mobile economy is so new that it frequently redefines itself. Just in the last few months, spending habits, carrier market share and mobile operating system impressions have all shifted appreciably. ZayPay, a mobile payments platform from Velti, tracks average mobile payment amounts and showed a 9 percent increase in the last 3 months - in March of 2012 the average was $2.96, in April $3.06, and in May it climbed again to $3.22. This rapid growth shows the comfort that both mobile marketers and consumers are increasingly experiencing both in offering higher priced items and purchasing them via the phone, according to Velti’s State of Mobile Advertising report. Typical purchases include in-game currency, donations, physical goods, software downloads.
Mobile advertising impressions lead by AT&T and Apple
As for carrier presence, that has been shifting too. AT&T has over half of smartphone and tablet impressions. But while Verizon and Sprint are both at 23% of performance, Sprint is closing the gap, and may become #2 carrier - their impression volume grew while Verizon’s shrank. Independently from carrier data, WiFi dominates network presence with 75 percent of all data impressions, likely due to the iPod Touch. This WiFi-only device is the second largest presence for a networked gadget, and accounts for much of Apple’s dominance in gadget market share (nearly 49 percent) as well as that of the iOS (59 percent). Per device, the iPod Touch (14.9%) gathers more impressions than all devices other than iPhone (20.4%). Used primarily by a young demographic, its popularity likely primes this category for future iPhone ownership.
Education apps are highest earners by category, iPad growth slows
Most lucrative apps for publishers are in the education category - their average eCPM was $0.92 in May, with weather apps in second place at $0.89 and reference apps in third with $0.84. While that aspect of education tech is favorable, the child- and learning- friendly iPad’s performance is less robust. The most recent model has gained less share than the iPad 2 - three months after the iPad 2’s release, it had 21 percent of impression volume, but the latest version only has 13 percent. This lower number may be due to a more mature tablet market - potential tablet owners may have already purchased this device.
