The Youth Market, then.. • EVERYONE wants a slice.. • Wan?ng is NOT the same as Doing! • S?ll use Old Wine in New Bo\le
• Tradi?onal Media • New Media but old ways!
![Page 22: Using social media to reach youth markets](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051412/54846ceeb47959ce0c8b4bb5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

i. Awareness / Considera?on
ii. Evaluate – cri?cal touch point
iii. Buy – Point of Sale Issues

Get into the youth’s buying decision journey

• Most budgets allocated to crea?ve and media buy • Alloca?ons are usually about plaaorm choices (radio / TV / Print), with digital gebng loose change • This doesn’t work – for youth markets at least • Also need budgets for “non-‐work” areas like crea?ng, managing and monitoring owned and earned media

Used Our Learning in Social Media What works, what doesn’t? A very simple idea..
1. As a brand, don’t try to create Farmvilles – keep it simple
2. Causes that get large scale par?cipa?on are not about ‘changing the world’, but about simpler issues in life
3. Passion drives viral engagement 4. Arm chair ac?vism works 5. Impulsive par?cipa?on is good 6. Easy way to recruit more 7. In doing all this, stay close to your core
TG and to your core focus area

What was involved? 1. Applica?on ran on [v]’s Facebook page

3. The Display Picture of the [v] Facebook page promoted the ac?vity
4. The simple 3-‐step par?cipa?on was highlighted
5. Simply go and ‘like’ your college; if you don’t find your college, add it, and then ‘like’ it
6. One could vote for more than one college
