  • Why #MillennialMomsROCK

    You might have asked yourself why we’re so darn awesome…The rise of social media has made it difficult for millennial moms to “measure up,” so to speak. Today, there is a race to perfection among millennial moms. In fact, according to the 2015 State of Modern Motherhood: Mobile and Media in the Lives of Moms study, 64% of millennial moms said parenting is more competitive than ever before.

Of course, you can pay for them through giveaways and other online marketing tactics, but there are consequences — such as lack of engagement. I have seen it myself whenever I host a giveaway on Facebook to gain a couple of followers. Numbers are nice, but I rather have 10 people on my Facebook who interact with my posts than 10 million who are just there. During a recent HubSpot webcast, two of my favorite social media gurus — Guy Kawasaki and Peg Fitzpatrick — shared
