Mothers play a crucial role in family decision-making, significantly influencing shopping habits, particularly in the realm of grocery shopping. Our survey of 500 mothers across the United States showed that 87% view themselves as the primary grocery shoppers for their families, highlighting their importance to food and beverage brands seeking to understand this key demographic.
Additionally, we delved into the cereal category, a frequent purchase for many households (with 85% of mothers buying cereal for their families at least once a month). We explored what types of messages and factors resonate with them or are deemed essential as they make their purchasing decisions.
Here's what we've learned:
1. The pandemic reshaped the grocery landscape, driving a surge in online and omni-channel shopping.
2. Price is a compelling switching factor - 77% of mothers have indicated that they opted to swap out their “usual” brand for a cheaper alternative, like store brands. For more information on which categories they are most likely to switch to a cheaper alternative in, check out the full report.
