Flexibility & Ready To accept

idea posted by Meena Deshmukh Product/Brand Manager, Videocon Inds

The youth market is the most flexible & ready to accept market segment. Bust it is not as simple as it looks. Care should be taken that the youth group always forms a positive picture in the mind about the product or service.

Thus any product or service that appeals  the youth can make money out of the target group....

Given today's scenario; youth are adaptive, they love experimenting and they also have the potential to buy..therefore the upcoming brands target youth segment.

youth are ready to expr. new products and which can uplift their lifestyle and status. Todays scenario is to show off like early bird but they dont stuck for long youth generation is nt loyal for any brands.

Todays generation is youth generation and they will try new things by opting new brand prodcuts. They are flexible in purchasing of new brand products to show them to the society and tell them that these brand products are good or bad to use.

Youth market today means - fast....very fast

idea posted by Pravin Kumar MBA student, DELHI SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

Apart from reasons like India will be young where  more than 50% are below the age of 25, their spending habits and all, Youth market today means - Fast...very fast...the WOM (Word of mouth) happens at a lightning pace, and if they think that the brand is really good, the word spreads like a wild fire, also youth likes products which are involoved in some sort of social activity kind of a thing, and by associating with a product which supports these will give them a satisfaction that they are also helping in a cause, as young generation do not have time do go out of their comfort zone and support a social cause, so things like these are making brands to strive to reach out for the youth market...

Indeed.India is placed in the middle stage of demographic transition and thus the boom in young population.Whatever little companies spend to promote their brand among youth has a greater effect due to better spread of word of mouth amongst youth.

Brands in general are not trying to reach only youth....

idea posted by VIJAYAN M Project Lead, Millward Brown

Think this way...Is all the brands are striving to reach the youth population?? the answer would be NO.  Youth would represent majorly in all the brand consumption, as you rightly said, that major percentage of population in India is young. 

Today's youth has the option of choosing more brands, whereas the same was not possible 10 - 15years ago.  When you have more no. of options for a particular product, then the competition in the market would be so fierce that everyone will try to gain more market share, which would be very difficult in short span.

Instill Brand Loyalty early.

idea posted by Nikhil Joseph Assistant Manager - Marketing and Sales, Harmony Spices Pvt. Ltd.

Growing up we're all exposed to advertising and branding both voluntarily and involuntarily. Corporates have begun to understand that once you instill positive association in the minds of an individual then those associations/feeling will develop into loyalty towards that brand, unless they are overcome by a negative association. The minds of the youth are still fresh and ready to form these associations, once formed these associations usually stay on for life so long as the brand keeps sending out the right messages.

Mania to be different

idea posted by KALIYAMOORTHY Oil & Gas Area Coordinator, Undisclosed

Brand adds ,"Style & glamour to be different". This mania catch up market easily. No rationale behind it.Only the teen behaviour nourishes these.
