Online Retailer Zulily Rings In Baby Season: New Data Reveals Mom
Shopping Habits, Offers Sweet Deals In Its Signature 'Welcome Baby'
Shop Shopping and newborn purchase behavior across
micro-generational divides differ, but unite around a love of great
deals
SEATTLE, March 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Zulily, the
online retailer that serves moms with great products
at unbeatable deals, is welcoming
spring and new babies by releasing a special
curated collection of both newborn gear must-haves and
classics. Zulily is building upon the success of its
biannual signature Welcome Baby sales and
will bring back The Late Night Shop for
Mom featuring extra special deals from Baby
Delight and Kickee Pants. Sleepless
moms will be surprised during
restless nights with free shipping on orders over
$35, placed between 2 a.m.
to 4 a.m. Eastern starting on
April 7 through April 12.
To learn more about what moms are shopping and hoping to
discover late at night, Zulily polled moms across the country.
The new research reveals a shift in shopping
habits* of mothers across three
distinct generational segments: TikTok Moms
(ages 25-34), Facebook Moms (ages 35-44)
and Mixtape Moms (age 45-54). What unites
generations? Reports of waking up at least once in the
night and a common love of great deals.
TikTok Moms (who are 25 to 34 years old) are
the ultimate nighttime multitaskers.
- Shopping for two: TikTok Moms are 25 percent more likely
to shop for themselves at night than Mixtape Moms and reported the
highest rate of shopping for their baby at night (32 percent).
- Multitasking mamas: Most TikTok Moms reported
multitasking while pumping or feeding: 63 percent reported watching
a movie/TV show, shopping online, searching for answers to their
baby questions, sharing mom memes or even checking work email.
- Convenience over cost: Thirty-eight percent of TikTok
Moms were more likely to invest in a big-ticket item such as deluxe
strollers or a hands-free breast pump to lighten their parenting
load.
- Look ma, no hands: TikTok Moms were almost three times
as likely to have chosen a hands-free breast pump if they could go
back in time and re-shop for themselves and their baby.
Facebook Moms (who are 35 to 44 years
old) reported being the most sleepless
and would like a "self-care" do-over when it comes to
their time as a new mom.
- Gen Y(awn): Although 7 in ten of all moms surveyed
reported waking up at least once each night, Facebook Moms reported
the highest rate of restlessness at 72 percent.
- Self-care, please: One third of Facebook Moms wish they
had purchased more self-care items and a better baby lounger when
they were a new mom.
Mixtape moms (who are 45 to 54 years old) have the
fewest worries and are sleeping
better.
- Seasoned players: Only half (52 percent) of the Mixtape
Moms reported waking up due to worry, childcare or chores.
- Mixtape mothers know best: Mixtape Moms were the least
likely to turn to search engines (5 percent) to get their baby
questions answered in the middle of the night, half the amount of
TikTok moms (10 percent).
United we Mom: all three social media
mom cohorts were united by humor and a love of
a good deal
- LOL: Eighty-one percent of all Moms from 25 to 54
reported humor helps them navigate motherhood's challenges.
- Let's make a deal: As babies grow rapidly, it's no
surprise that seven in ten of all Moms aged 25 to 54 noted it was
important to get deals on all things baby.
The Late Night Shop for Mom
Zulily offers its maternity and baby-focused
products throughout the year in its Welcome Baby
Shop, but starting April 7 through April 12, limited extra-special sleepless deals
will go live at 2 a.m. Eastern during two days of
the Welcome Baby sales event, which happens bi-annually
in April and September each year. In addition, free
shipping will be included for orders over $35.
This year's deals include: Ruffle footies
from Kickee Pants for as low as $17.99 and the Bedside sleeper &
bassinet from Baby Delight for as low
as $84.99.
"At Zulily, we have more than a decade of experience serving
moms through ecommerce, and we've found that even small
differences, like a few years in age, can greatly influence
purchasing behavior," said Susan Van Arsdale, senior
business development manager at Zulily. "We work with
more than 15,000 brands to reach moms
through a personalized shopping experience.
And, we stay relevant by engaging her with
content, helping her answer questions like, 'How do
I get my baby to sleep through the night?' We are here to
help moms through an exciting time in their lives," Van
Arsdale said.
