Marketing to Millennials is both an enlightening look at this generation of spend-happy consumers and a practical plan for earning their trust and loyalty.

Love it or loathe it, you are doing business in their domain now, and your future depends on your ability to successfully connect with them.

• Value social networking and aren''t shy about sharing opinions
• Refuse to remain passive consumers but expect to participate in product development and marketing
• Demand authenticity and transparency
• Are highly influential, swaying parents and peers
• Are not all alike; therefore, understanding key segments is invaluable

Complete with expert interviews of those doing Millennial marketing right, as well as the new rules for engaging this increasingly vital generation successfully, Marketing to Millennials is the key to persuading the customers who will determine the bottom line for decades to come.
