Here’s a peek at of some of the key questions we asked parents:

  • Which of these products/services are you most likely to leave a review for?
  • When was the last time you recommended a product or service to family or friends, what as it?
  • What are your thoughts about influencers and the products/services they feature on their social media?
  • Would  you say you are influenced by online reviews from other people?

A Selection of the Feedback from Parents About Influence and Recommendations

Insights from parents about influence and recommendations

“I don’t tend to follow influencers because most of them are sponsored by the companies whose products they promote. There is one woman on Instagram though who promotes clothes for my age group, and I do look into the brands that she models.”

“Real reviews from real people – versatile products that are easy to use. I like videos that show how the products can be used especially for make-up.”

” If I’m buying or booking something or somewhere new I’ll check out reviews. Especially if I’m handing over hard earned cash. Goodness what did we ever do without reviews? 
I would be afraid of being scammed and losing money or hackers gaining access to my bank accounts, so if it’s a new site that is generally why I check reviews.”
