What Brands Need To Know To Maximize Success
It seems like it was only yesterday that brands were fixated on studying the Millennial generation and what influenced their purchasing behaviors. With Millennials being the most researched generation to have ever been born, it’s likely you actually were studying them yesterday. These individuals, also referred to as Generation Y, captured the attention of marketers and brands across the globe, and for good reason. Understanding this diverse group of young adults would be the key to creating a sustainable, long term business model fit for the future. Right?
