15 Notable Stats on Mobile Moms
Just about everyday, I read a healthy number of headlines that feature new data on moms: their use of social media, smartphones, tablets, apps, email. The list goes on. I always bookmark the relevant articles so I can reference them later for blog posts or white papers, but it’s time consuming to sift through all of them. However, I set aside some time and did the leg work to identify the 15 most notable stats on mobile moms. Take a look at what I found:
