Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Today In Communication History
On this date in 1976, the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Dallas Cowboys 21-17 in Super Bowl X. The CBS telecast was viewed by an estimated 80 million people.
NOTE: We have entered a new era in screen ratings. Nielsen is expanding its sample of TV viewers to include new homes with meters that record the channel being watched — but not the demographics of the people watching. That will be estimated using data modeling and an algorithm Nielsen has developed, and added to the current sample that does include people meters that measure demos. The Panel Expansion (NPX), in which 12,900 households have been added to the national sample, is at the center of this change. The household ratings in these homes are measured by meters on each television in the home, while the demographic ratings in these homes will be assigned by Nielsen using a statistical algorithm. This is the first time since 1987 that homes in the national sample are not equipped with PeopleMeters, which measure both the program viewed and the people watching it.
Marketing Research
Did You Know: 64% of High-Earning Influential Millennials are Women.
Intent is more important than identity and demographics.
Immediacy is more important than brand loyalty.
Millennial Segments Shop Differently
Digital shopping is standard procedure across the millennial age bracket. But there are some differences in how the younger and older consumers go about things, online and offline, as explored in a new eMarketer report “US Millennials at Key Life Stages: How Younger and Older Segments Differ and Converge.”
The obvious disparity between older and younger millennial shoppers is that the older ones spend more. According to Bureau of Labor Statistics data covering 2014, households headed by 25- to 34-year-olds spent an average of $49,547. Households headed by someone under 25 averaged $32,179. (For total households, the figure was $53,495.) The younger consumers spent less than the older ones in categories as varied as furniture ($304 vs. $426), healthcare ($1,103 vs. $2,659), pets ($158 vs. $441) and entertainment ($1,319 vs. $2,418).
Tight finances hold millennials back from spending freely. In the to Ipsos and to Navient poll, 51% said they worry about paying all their monthly bills. Many also carry debt—not just college loans, but other debt, too. So they are alert to tradeoffs between buying what they want and being overextended.
The value equation for millennials is not confined to dollars and cents. In a March 2015 poll by to Cone Communications, 92% of 18- to 24-year-olds and 91% of those 25 to 34 (vs. 85% of total respondents) said they are likely to switch to a brand associated with a good cause. This reflects a belief “that people can solve things in working with brands and not against them,” said Raphael Bemporad, founding partner and chief strategy officer at branding agency BBMG.
eMarketer sees scant difference in the proportion of younger vs. older millennials who are digital buyers. As of 2015, 73.2% of the 18-to-24 cohort and 71.6% of those 25 to 34 were estimated to have made at least one purchase by digital means during the calendar year.
Other studies also show younger and older millennials with a similar propensity to be digital shoppers. In October 2015 polling by the to National Retail Federation (NRF), 54.8% of respondents ages 18 to 24 planned to include online purchases in their holiday shopping, as did 56.7% of those 25 to 34. A July 2015 survey by A.T. Kearney identified about one-third of younger and older millennials as digital grocery buyers.
In addition, in an era where consumers check their smartphones 150 times a day, 87% of millennials admit that they have their smartphone at their side all the time. Being MOBILENow™, brands can reach this important audience 24/7.
Point is, marketing to consumers with messages that target people based on what they’re currently doing on their smartphones is of maximum importance. In targeting younger consumers, now more than ever, intent is more important than identity and demographics, and immediacy is more important than brand loyalty.
Mobile News
