Long gone are the days where blogging was only for women in their twenties to talk about beauty products and shopping, as an immovable force in the blogosphere has seen a huge rise in ‘Mummy Bloggers’.
Why do audiences love mummy bloggers?
These women are real mothers, talking about their real lives and not holding back on the struggles, but also joys, of being a mother. The main reason why mummy bloggers are so loved is that they’re exactly that; they’re real. They’re paramount to a society where being your own version of normal is best and this makes them relatable to an audience online. Let’s be honest, who can relate and connect to a Kardashian celebrity lifestyle where thousands are spent weekly on hair stylists? As mummy bloggers are not afraid of talking about motherhood in a completely open spotlight, new mums tend to find comfort in them as they are reassured that they aren’t alone.

What can a brand gain from using mummy bloggers?
Increased Reach and Engagement
Successful marketing isn’t about reaching as many people as possible, it’s about reaching the right audience for your brand. If your main audience is mums, then what better way to promote your product than using a mum to do this? Micro-influencers like mummy bloggers tend to have a niche audience that suits them and their interests, so they are more likely to engage with the content put in front of them. With 60% of mummy bloggers saying they choose to blog about brands they love or hate, a huge audience is ready and waiting for you.
Trust
Everybody knows that word of mouth is the most trusted form of marketing, and that doesn’t change when it comes to mums. Bloggers tend to have a loyal following as they have credibility with other bloggers which means that they actually have a huge amount of influence on their audience, as they have a trust with their followers that unknown brands may not have yet.
