Optimistic Millennials Are an Attractive Target for Marketers
According to a new report about Millennials, many generational ties bind this diverse group of young consumers and differentiate them from older consumers. These include a deep comfort with technology, heavy involvement in social media, a multitasking mentality, non-stop immersion with screens on cell phones, digital tablets and PCs, etc. The challenge for marketers is to leverage this common ground to find Millennials wherever they are and engage them no matter what they are doing.
Hispanics are Early Technology Adopters, Expected to Spend Big on Devices, Apps
Hispanics are early adopters of both tablets and smartphones, and also more likely than whites to go online using mobile devices. The high adoption rates for smartphones and tablets among Hispanics are likely due to the fact that they are on average a young group, and more likely to use mobile devices instead of landlines. Analysts expect this consumer segment to drive sales for device retailers and app stores in 2012.
