Blog Marketing to Moms is about more than Parenting.

Moms who blog have become important marketing partners and powerful allies, spreading the word about products and services to the 32 million moms who go online in the US.

These mothers are not just mommy bloggers. eMarketer estimates there are 3.9 million women with children writing blogs in the US, covering a wide variety of subjects, including parenting, couponing, travel, automobiles and technology. They all share one commonality—children—but are a diverse group.

“This is a benefit and a challenge for marketers,” said Debra Aho Williamson, eMarketer senior analyst and author of the new report “Moms Who Blog: A Marketing Powerhouse.” “Creating a strong blogger outreach program takes time, effort and nurturing.”

Such outreach programs can reach millions of moms. More than 17 million women with kids under 18 in the household will read blogs at least monthly this year, with small but steady increases expected through 2014, when nearly 21 million will do so.

In 2014, 63% of all online moms will read blogs, up from 54% this year.

“Marketing via moms who blog requires regular participation,” said Williamson. “Successful marketers create real relationships with blogging moms and work hard to make it easy for moms to support their marketing initiatives. This means understanding that moms have different points of view and don’t always focus on the same topics. What’s more, having an influence means more than simply flooding the blogosphere with coupons and giveaways.”
