TOOLS
KID POWER – MONTH OF THE MILITARY CHILD
As one would expect with a young, married military force there are many military children. Over 44 percent of the active duty force have children, translating to more than 1.25 million children between the ages of birth and 23 years.
42.3% -under the age of 5yrs, 30.7% - between 6 and 11yrs 22.8% - 12-18 yrs 4.2% - 19-23yrs Source: DMDC Military Family File (September 2010)
THE “WOW”
FACTOR!
A Welcoming Environment
Warmly welcome the customer. Smile, make it like home. Clearly shift the center of attention from you to them. They should feel like they are the center of your universe at least for that first few minutes! It is within those first few minutes that you make the biggest impression!
“WOW” EVENTS!
TIDBITS
TARGETING TEENS
Teens are multi taskers. they watch TV, listen to music, do homework, but also surf the Net, play video games, instant message (IM) and text—often at the same time. Students between the ages of 8 -18 spend more than 25% of their media time multitasking, which makes it harder for them to concentrate on a single task, and makes it much tougher for you to grab their attention. Teens prefer byte-sized. With so much multitasking going on, it’s best to keep your message short if you really want to nab teens’ attention, and that’s especially true if you’re delivering it to them online or on cell phones. Teens expect content on demand. Today’s kids are used to getting what they want, when they want it—delivered, of course, on their favorite devices. Teens want to participate. Young adults are totally hooked on social media because it offers them instant feedback. Doritos, and other well-known brands invite consumers to create commercials; publishers offer teens a chance to design book covers. Kids want to have a say—and even some ownership—in the products and content they use. The more opportunities they have to personalize these things, the more engaged they’ll be.

TRENDS
CELEBRATING AGING
Celebrating aging is a hot trend that should not be ignored. As Baby Boomers approach retirement years, they are not only celebrating the freedom of not having to report to work every day, but also celebrating aging and the many benefits that go along with it. What would the benefits to aging be? Discretionary income, freedom to travel and participate in sports like golf, bowling and tennis, eating out more and other assortment of entertainment. Smart companies are recognizing that this particular market can be quite profitable, especially if you target the segment in your advertising. Fort Leonard Wood has over 22,000 retirees and 33,000 family members of retirees in the local area. What are you doing to engage this target audience?
