Unveiling the Enchanting Allure of Momfluencers

June 27, 2023

In Indonesia, there has been an increase in the prominence of influencer marketing, repleted with individuals seeking to seize the opportunity and ride the crest of this wave.

The primary factor contributing to this expansion entails the remarkably swift rate at which social media is embraced in the country. As of January 2023, Indonesia boasted a staggering 167 million social media users, representing 60.4% of its total population.1

Another noteworthy observation is that a significant majority of Indonesians demonstrate a preference for influencer accounts as opposed to brand accounts.2 It arises from their ability to obtain extensive yet perceived genuine information from influencers, which may resonate on a personal level.

Given the prevailing tendency, it is imperative for brands to leverage the role of social media influencers in order to effectively market its products or services.

Moms as Today’s Super Consumers

The adoption of digital technologies, driven by the pandemic, has led to a surge in the consumption of short-form content and videos, thereby expediting the growth of the nation’s creator economy, most particularly in the realm of social commerce.

86%

of consumers residing in urban areas have become accustomed to use social commerce.4

53.7%

of female millennials, including moms, are leading the curve. 

As key decision-makers in 85% of household expenditures,5 moms become an indispensable target audience that necessitates powerful yet efficacious persuasion strategies. They emerge as a significant focal point, not solely due to their impressive purchasing capacity, but also due to their remarkable ability to exert influence on others.

Worth-Noting Shopping Behaviour of Moms:

according to research conducted by Orami (Part of SIRCLO Group).6

The frequency of making online purchases ranges from 1 to 3 times per month.

Tokopedia, Lazada, Shopee, Orami, and TikTok Shop are the most preferred marketplaces.

Moms typically engage in online shopping in the evening, specifically between 6 PM and 12 AM.

Promotion is a significant factor that influences a mom's shopping preference.

Impulsive buying is a common behaviour found among moms.

Most popular categories include children’s necessities, household essentials, cosmetics, and skincare products.

From Moms, to Moms

In a fast-paced world where marketing messages surround us at every turn, brands should gracefully acclimatise themselves to the ever-evolving trends, particularly in attracting the hearts of moms as super consumers.

The need to connect with moms on a personal level, offering content that is genuine and intimate, has never been more important. Hence, among the effective methods to achieve this objective is by engaging with momfluencers, who tend to display the willingness of openly sharing their experiences in an authentic manner, without concealing any detail. 

The Other Why(s)

Well-Acquainted

with Social Networking

Moms, particularly millennial moms, spend 17 hours per week on social media.7

Highly-Engaged Audience

from the Get-Go

Their followers trust them and are more likely to notice when they post about a product or service.8

Aspiring to Be

Financially Independent

85% of stay-at-home moms aspire to be productive and financially independent.9

Despite their enormous appeal among specific audiences, momfluencers have the ability to explore topic areas beyond mom and baby.


They are not only attracting the attention of fellow mothers, but also extend well beyond, reaching a varied range of demographics.
