RetailWire: Will Amazon Succeed With Men's Grooming Shop?:
Amazon.com has its site set on another category and this time it is men’s grooming. The company has launched its new Men’s Grooming store with a black and white motif and expanded content to help guys make those important personal care decisions.
Males use more sources on average than females, but tend to share less than females after purchase.

Data from multiple retail and financial sources confirms this, with husbands, sons and daughters (but mostly husbands and sons) completely misreading what Mom would really appreciate on her big day.

Curious Marketer: Gender Bender–Driving the shopping cart:
Men, for some marketers, is a new frontier. Of course, they have always existed. But for ages, marketers have targeted women. While men may have been the breadwinner, the women typically have controlled the purse string. Women have typically been the ones who would do grocery shopping. Women have typically been the ones making the shopping list.
But that’s no longer the case.

Hindustan Times: Modern shoppers’ stops:
If you thought modern retail outlets continue to attract more women shoppers, think again. Research shows that 50% of the shoppers at hypermarkets are males.
Since every second shopper is accompanied, it would be convenient to assume that a companion, if male, has been dragged in more as a porter or driver – men hate shopping, right?

Interpublic: Behold The Rise Of The 'Mansumer':
Now, in a new report, Interpublic’s media shop BPN has documented the rise of the “mansumer.” A product of the recession, this group is a growing breed of male shoppers that is supplanting their better halves as the “chief buying officers” of their households.
“While the job market for men has recently improved, the lasting effects of the recession have altered the traditional ‘provider’ paradigm,” BPN states. “With that, the new chief buyer in the American household is the man of the house. With the rise of the mansumer comes a whole new set of potential seed changes in advertising, purchase patterns and common marketing practices.”

Mansumer: Adult Males in Households Take Grocery List, Brings New Attitude:
If the mansumer has a motto, it would come from stand-up comedian and archetypal male, Larry the Cable Guy: Git ‘er done.
“I have a list. I know what I want. I get it and leave,” said Clay Gard, 26, of Lakeland, a mansumer who does all the grocery shopping for his wife, Heather, and 8-month-old daughter, Hunter.
Gard, a construction worker, said he usually shops for the family’s weekly food supply on weekends.
“I can get in and out in 30 minutes,” he said.
The mansumer, the adult male in a household who’s become the family’s primary shopper, is taking a larger role in the U.S. marketplace, according to a December report from BPN, a global media and marketing firm that apparently coined the term.
