\"Shopping<\/a><\/p>\n

Marketers are paying close attention to hipster moms. And it\u2019s no wonder. According to new research from market research firm Ipsos<\/a>, there\u2019s a lucrative yet highly-demanding consumer segment within the millennials cohort: YEMMies (Young, Educated Millennial Moms). And these ladies are influential retail disruptors.<\/p>\n

Consumer goods companies have already begun to adapt their marketing strategies to appease this segment, capture its tremendous purchasing power and earn positive word of mouth, both online and off.<\/p>\n

In the ultra-competitive business-to-consumer (B2C) market, grocery retailers and consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies in particular need to understand\u2014and deliver\u2014what YEMMies want.<\/p>\n

The growing power of YEMMies<\/b><\/p>\n

In Canada, the YEMMies segment is poised to grow from 1.7 million to more than 4 million in the next decade. In the U.S., approximately 1 in 5 moms (22%) is a Millennial Mom, accounting for 9 million women<\/a>. With an average age of 29, these women are better educated, and more connected and engaged than mothers from previous generations.<\/p>\n

YEMMies are savvy, informed shoppers who access a wide variety of information sources before making their purchase decisions. Nearly two-thirds (63%) read the nutrition facts on a product label and value healthy food options.<\/p>\n

What YEMMies want<\/b><\/p>\n

As Ipsos found, the average YEMMies\u2019 grocery shopping requirements are now fairly specific. YEMMies want:<\/p>\n

Transparency:<\/b> Product information-sharing matters, as YEMMies want to know exactly where their food comes from and what ingredients are in it.<\/p>\n

\u201cReal foods<\/b>\u201d: YEMMies want simple, local products, with less processing and fewer ingredients, particularly artificial flavours, colours, preservatives, genetically-modified organisms (GMOs), antibiotics or added hormones.<\/p>\n

Convenient, portable<\/b> snacks:<\/b> Over 65% of consumption occasions take place in between traditional meals, as YEMMies eat five to six snacks per day, rather than three square meals.<\/p>\n

What YEMMies say<\/b><\/p>\n

\"Family<\/a><\/p>\n

A couple of YEMMies who are also busy entrepreneurs shared their ideas about these grocery shopping trends. Mother of three and consultant, Lisa Chuma, explained: \u201cIt is very important for me that I buy only organic fruits and vegetables. We believe in eating naturally grown produce.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mother of one and social networking expert, Jenny Raymond feels the same way. She added: \u201cMost of my grocery shopping is done online, as it’s very convenient and also opens the door to every type of food, including organic and healthy options. The quality of the food is the most important, which is why I shop at high-end supermarkets.\u201d<\/p>\n

How to win with YEMMies<\/b><\/p>\n

To capture YEMMies\u2019 attention, interest and business, your company needs to tell stories that resonate among these young mothers. Use the following tips to establish a positive emotional connection with your brand:<\/p>\n

Know your audience: <\/b>When consumers, including YEMMies, feel understood, they are more willing to engage and buy. Create new buyer personas with these busy moms in mind to determine how your marketing strategy needs to change. For instance, do you need to streamline your ingredients list, create content reflecting healthy young families or offer digital coupons by text or messenger to attract these mobile consumers<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Craft meaningful messages:<\/b> Prove you care about YEMMies\u2019 unique needs by emphasizing how your products offer the healthy, natural and convenient foods<\/a> they crave, as they nourish their growing families. Demonstrate open, honest communication, including detailed product information, to prove your brand is worthy of their trust.<\/p>\n

Promote your stories:<\/b> From your product packaging labels to social media posts and influencer marketing, get your unique stories in front of this powerful cohort. Reach and engage YEMMies using digital (Facebook<\/a> and Instagram<\/a>) and offline sources (direct mail coupons, packaging, in-store signage, product samples, etc.) in the physical and online spaces they frequent the most, and where your B2C brand is most likely to earn positive word of mouth.<\/p>\n

If YEMMies are a key audience for your brand, consider harnessing the power of YEMMie \u2018influencers\u2019 by engaging them in the development of your products and your narrative. Drop us a line to learn how.<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
