Weary Parent: Parenting Tweens & Teens

Reader Recommendation: The Great Tween Buying Machine

by char on February 24th, 2007

The Great Tween Buying Machine: Capturing Your Share of the Multi-Billion-Dollar Tween MarketThanks to Lisa of TwoKnives.net for the recommendation of the book, The Great Tween Buying Machine: Capturing Your Share of the Multi-Billion-Dollar Tween Market by David Siegal, Timothy Coffey and Gregory Livingston.

From the Amazon review:

Do tweens have economic power? At 20 million and growing, this group presents a serious opportunity for today’s marketers, influencing as much as 20 percent of the $550 billion in household spending by the 8.7 million families in which they live. As part of Generation Y, tweens are the last offspring of the large and powerful baby boom generation and, like their parents, are a market force to be reckoned with.

No longer children and not quite teenagers, tweens-kids aged 8 to12 years-are one of the fastest growing market segments for corporate America. With significant influence on household and family purchases, the four key motivating drivers for tweens are fun, freedom, power, and belonging. The Great Tween Buying Machine will demystify the newly discovered tween market using research findings and by discussing product development techniques and the latest marketing strategies in packaging, advertising, and promotions.

The Great Tween Buying Machine reveals key information on how to expand a company’s marketing base now, recognizing that an early investment in the tween market is an investment in a company’s future.

After reading the introductory excerpt and the review, I am definitely putting this on my must read list.
