The term Generation Y marketing describes a technique that promotes a brand’s products and services to consumers who were generally born between the late 70’s and mid 90’s. Sometimes called echo boomers or millennials, this socially conscious and technologically savvy consumer group accounts for one quarter of the total U.S. population. People belonging to generation Y are the highest per capita spenders and receive more of their product information from the internet than anywhere else. Embracing technology and the use of both guerilla and viral marketing tactics are the best way to reach this group.
