Marketing to the four different active generations in America can be tricky.

Marketing Towards Millennials

From Visually.

As a whole, Millennials want to feel connected and involved when making purchasing decisions, which is why they tend to write, read, and trust product reviews. Traditional marketing methods of cold calls, magazine ads, and radio spots can be viewed as too corporate and impersonal.

This digitally savvy generation prefers to naturally discover content, and that’s where inbound marketing shines. Personalized and targeted emails, social media, how-to videos, blog posts, and eBooks are better methods of reaching this audience. Marketers should focus on building relationships with Millennials by fueling their need for self-expression. Additionally, featuring user-generated content as part of a content marketing strategy reinforces their need for individuality, while increasing your brand advocate numbers.

A message that’ll motivate Millennials: You will work with other bright, creative people.
