Mom Central Consulting uncovers The Digital Difference between English-speaking and French-speaking Canadian Moms
Canadian Consulting Company Releases Study on how English and French Canadian Moms use the Online World for Brand Discussions
TORONTO, Feb. 4, 2014 /CNW/ - Mom Central Consulting, a community which connects Canadian moms directly to the consumer world online, has released its results from the company's latest study - an in-depth comparison of how English-speaking and French-speaking Canadian mothers use the digital space to review brands and products.
As a leader in connecting brands with Canada's most influential moms online, Mom Central Consulting brings brands directly into the hands of moms across the country. After publishing a report in 2012 entitled "The Canadian Digital Mom', the company wanted to uncover differences between English-speaking and French-speaking mothers and how they use online outlets to review brands and discuss brands with others.
The study uncovered the following differences between the two groups:
- Moms in French-speaking and English-speaking Canada are entrenched in digital but the English-speaking are slightly more engaged in digital, with the Internet surpassing all other types of media. In French-speaking Canada, moms spend time watching TV than online.
- Moms in French-speaking and English-speaking Canada spend time online differently. Moms in French-speaking Canada are more likely than their English-speaking counterparts to post reviews and comments about product experiences.
- Mobile penetration is lower in French-speaking Canada. Moms in English-speaking Canada use their smartphone more for online activity.
- Facebook and YouTube are the two most popular platforms for both groups. When it comes to other platforms, French-speaking moms prefer Google+; moms in English-speaking Canada favour Pinterest and Twitter.
- Moms in English-speaking Canada are widening their social networking scope faster. The vast majority of moms in English-speaking Canada visit 3+ platforms a month; just over half do in French-speaking Canada.
- The same factors impact purchase decisions in both English and French-speaking Canada. Both groups trust their friends and family most when searching for product information.
With almost 90% of Canadian moms using the Internet to browse, and discuss brands, understanding the differences in how English-speaking and French-speaking Canadian moms use these platforms is vital to brands. It helps the consumer world learn how to approach and utilize these mothers' capabilities effectively - from reviewing products constructively to creating active discussions online.
