Self-Counsel Business: The Secrets of Advertising to Gen Y Consumers (Edition 1) (Paperback)

Traditional marketing is dead, and Gen Y killed it. Advertisers are finding it harder to reach consumers using traditional media like television, radio, newspapers, and magazines. Radio revenue is down, TV ads are less effective, and young people rarely read print newspapers. The problem is that the new generation of consumers has become immune to many of the tactics marketers have come to rely on. In the coming years, Gen Y will replace the Baby Boomers as the group with the largest purchasing force. Any company that doesn't learn to sell to this new generation on their terms will become outdated and risk losing ground to new companies that adjust quickly. The Secrets of Advertising to Gen Y Consumers explains new and innovative ways to market products and services to the younger Gen Y. It shows business owners how to leverage the Internet and social media to become the type of company to which Gen Y will be loyal. Learn how to:

    Sell the steak, not the sizzle

    Go green to make more green

    Surf the Web without wiping out

    Cash in on video games
