The Twenty First Century Soccer Mom
What is a new age soccer mom? Here the answer is as simple as the question. There is not much difference with the so-called ‘old-age’ soccer mom and the new age one. However, the recent generations have the advantage of better technology and more choices. This in some cases eases the burden, but also tends to add to the chaos.
With the new age of technology, soccer moms who feel that they are losing their grasp on intellectual stimulation can acquire gadgets to offset their perceived deficiency. For example, the latest kindle from amazon or other electronic book readers can allow the mom ready access to daily periodicals and books.
Another aspect that technology has improved the life of a soccer mom is the photo album. With digital cameras and camcorders, compiling a scrapbook album is a breeze. In fact, many don’t even bother with the physical album but maintain the pictures in digital format. There are also digital picture frames specifically made for displaying images.
Home design and maintenance have become important concerns for many soccer moms. Given that they spend so much time at home, keeping an appealing home environment is highly valued. Many have performed home remodeling on their own. There are many choices available at the hardware stores specifically targeting the soccer mom. Options range from different types of wall papers, paints, flooring, tiles, curtains, and many other home decor accents.
The other essential factor in the life of a soccer mom is transportation. Here also the choices are many. There are mini vans, vans, SUVs, hybrids, and every other type in between. The stereotypical mini van has also undergone many changes. The doors now slide open electronically in some. Many also come with GPS and other devices to ensure security. The soccer mom can now come well equipped to any event.
Once all the cleaning, feeding, and intellectual stimulation has occurred, there comes a time for reflection and relaxation. For this purpose, the mom must ensure that the children are appropriately engaged in some activity. This can range from play dates to video games. The video gaming market has undergone significant changes, as well. The days of kids hanging out at the playground have long passed.
With all the equipment and options available for the soccer mom, the modern version has become a heavily targeted consumer group. Often times, soccer moms provide valuable insight into the positives and negatives of many products and choices. This word of mouth recommendation is invaluable to many marketing companies and manufacturers. The once isolated homemaker has been transformed into a techno-savvy and mobile focus group.
