Marco Polo, the Video Communications App, Releases New Data About What Matters Most to Moms This Mother's Day
New survey finds that "spending quality time" and "staying up-to-date" in their children's lives play the biggest role in helping moms feel close to their children
PALO ALTO, Calif., May 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Marco Polo, the video communications app used by millions, has released results from a new survey exploring relationships between mothers and their children. The survey reveals that moms believe Mother's Day is not fundamentally about the gift (although a gift is nice) – what they really want is to feel close to their children and stay connected all year long, not just on their namesake holiday.
The survey, conducted in March 2019, found:
- "Spending quality time" and "staying up-to-date" in their children's lives are Very Important factors in making moms feel close to their children.
- Only 24% of moms feel that receiving a gift on special occasions and holidays makes them feel close to their children.
- Over 70% of moms answered that "staying in touch" is Very Important to making them feel close to children.
- Talking every day is the top way for moms to feel close to their children; moms definitely prefer talking to their children over receiving a text or email.
Marco Polo assembled this data because the company's mission is to help people feel close to those who matter most in their lives. Using Marco Polo's video communications platform, moms can stay close to their children on Mother's Day and all year long.
