It was once the Baby Boomers, then Generation X, and now all marketers are in the process of figuring out the ‘Y,’ Generation that is. With 80 million Generation Y’ers in the United States alone- nearly one-fourth of the total population- millineals are the largest and most lucrative generation yet. For brands it is particularly pertinent to appeal to this demographic as milinneals hold $200 billion worth of purchasing power, and are not afraid to spend it. So as a marketer who knows this generation’s attention span is short while this generation’s demand for personalization is high, connecting with Gen Y’ers requires a strategic approach to delivering value, in a milineals favorite form- experience. As this demographic is part of the ‘always connected’ generation, expectations are a bit different from previous generations. Content is expected to be delivered across devices, channels and in the format they prefer. Because of this, the traditional marketing funnel is disrupted and marketers are jostling to reconstruct the pieces. But there’s no need for marketers to try to woo this generation with the next marketing campaign because milinneal consumers are already orchestrating their own brand experiences. So the question is as a marketer, how do we become a part of that experience? …show more content…

Baby boomers have ruined America and should take responsibility for the weakened state of millenials. Baby boomers grew up in an era of prosperity.

Baby boomers received inexpensive and available education, preparing them for a thriving open job market. This led to Americans greatest invention, the middle class.
This group was much quieter than either their Gen Y or Gen X counterparts because they were seemingly engrossed in their phones. Before observing Gen Z, I thought I would see a younger, tech-savvy, cooler version of myself (a millennial). While the group of Generation Z was most definitely tech-savvy they seemed tied to their devices and hardly interacted with the people they came to the game with. After observing the Gen Z group, I realized how their devices are like a lifeline and they spend arguably most of their time looking at screens. Marketing recommendations for Generation Z would be to appeal to their tech savvy lifestyle through non-traditional ads on mobile, social and responsive website and give them a reason to tune into your ad and look up from their screens.
In order to better humanities condition, advancement is always necessary. For many years, the United States has consistently justified its need for progress through the use of constant expansion. As seen, the United States has continuously kept up not just the latest of technology, yet lifestyle as well. As the economy boomed in the 1950’s, American families began to stabilize due to an economic boom and sought a better life outside the city.

Furthermore, she explains how the companies are now using social networking to advertise their products. Because everyone is trying to advertise to the Millennials, the competition on the prices of each company’s products has to go lower, making it difficult for the elite companies to sell their products to them (elaborate in targeted group). I agree, that the marketing technique of using social networking is something that companies should do, because they would have trouble selling their product if they use “traditional, time-tested marketing techniques, such as cleavage and lying” (Feschuk). The millennial generation should not be the only aimed customers, the fashion brands should expand their targeted group to Generation X and Baby Boomers, because they are the actual consumers who buy the products. Although, they aren’t the ones that are more advanced in technology, they are the companies’ benefactors.
The Gilded age was a period in the late 1800s (1865-1900) that showed tremendous increase of wealth caused by the industrial age. The lifestyle of the rich during this period hid the many problems of the time that eventually brought about the progressive era movement. This was a movement for reform between 1900-1920s.

Judging someone or making assumptions based on physical appearance can never determine the environment they were raised in. Just because someone is in college it should not suggest that their family members are college educated. There are many people at The University of Louisiana at Monroe that are considered first-generation individuals. As of 2010 the National Center of Education indicated that 30 percent of college freshmen are first generation college students. First generation students are fresh to the ideal of college and they need a mental support system during so because most of them are not equipped to deal with tough situations.
When launching a new product or service, a company needs to develop the key group of customers in which they are targeting. There are many steps in identifying the target market; one of these steps is to look at past marketing plans in a company and collect information to produce a customer profile.

Ageism is discrimination or prejudice based solely on a person’s age, an extreme issue in many elderly clients that reside in sheltered housing communities, as well as quality of life.
