Marketing Mix

Gen Y: to reach this target group of consumers I would utilize the following in my marketing mix:
1. The internet
2. Fast Food restaurants
3. Social and sporting events specific to this age group such as snowboarding, musical concerts, video gaming, and skateboarding
4. Cable TV ads
5. My ads would be funny, disarmingly direct, ironic and I use street term or slang.


Gen X: to reach this target group of consumers I would utilize the following in my marketing mix:
1. The internet and cable TV
2. Restaurants with bars
3. Clothing and electronic stores, gyms, movie theaters and billboards
4. My ads would include free items, discounts, and perks, this group of consumers are materialist and cynical so low pricing in addition to the promos are necessary.


Baby Boomers: to reach this target group of consumers I would utilize the following in my marketing mix:
1. The internet and cable TV
2. Magazines and books
3. Restaurants that deliver or provide take-out services
4. My ads would include emphasis on free delivery, prepackaged convenient items, portable and youthful. This group of consumers is the creator of the personalized economy so they require customization, immediacy and value.


Great Generation: to reach this target group of consumers I would utilize the following in my marketing mix:
1. Radio more so than Cable TV
2. Travel industry printed material, Magazines and books,
3. Shopping Malls
4. My ads would include emphasis on ease of use, convenient items, free items, discounts, and perks. This group of consumers requires value for thier purchases, quality for their dollars spent.

Gen Y: The marketer must be aware that this group is brand conscious. They have always been media saturated and must promote the products in those media. Tactics that work well are humor or being disarmingly direct.
Gen X: The marketer should also promote the product through the media (internet and Cable TV). Tactics that work are on the unconvedntional side--unconventional gags, humor, unconventional places--like taping airfare promos to pizza boxes.
Boomers: The marketer should promote prpoducts knowing that this group thrives on convenience. Tactics that highlight convenience, one's individuality, will attract this group.
GG: The marketer should promote through Cable TV and still use the printed page (newspapers, magazines) since this group tends to read more than the other generations. Tactics should look at value and perhaps highlight brand loyalty.

Gen Y: Fast food, internet (MySpace), or by using popular music.

Gen X: Internet (but not so much MySpace), events, movies, TV.

Baby Boomers: Printed material (books, newspaper), Billboards, dining.

Older Consumers: Daytime TV, radio, printed materials, and make sure they know it's a great value and their money is going somewhere they won't regret.

Generation Y: Bring the message to where these people congregate: internet, cable TV, snowboarding tournaments and must be funny or disarmingly direct

Generation X: Unusual perks and unconventional TV ads for travel companies, taping airfare promos on pizza boxes, teaching kickboxing at hotels, and replacing buttoned down restaurants with sweatshirt-casual bistros

Baby Boomers: Convenience and value mark this generation with a market that markets them personally, delivers their products to them, and competitively priced products that offer value

Older Consumers: Brand loyalty, understanding of a maturing markets needs WITHOUT falling into stereotyping them, and in addition, focusing on nostalgia

bb: they like convienence, personalization. advertise in books and magazines. and they like name brands.
