How Marketers Target Kids
A.Kids represent an important demographic to marketers because they have
their own purchasing power, they influence their parents buying decisions and
they are the adult consumers of the future. Industry spending on advertising to
children has exploded in the past decade, increasing from a mere $100 million in
1990 to more than $2 billion in 2000. B.Parents today are
willing to buy more for their kids because trends such as smaller family size,
dual incomes and postponing children until later in life mean that families have
more disposable income. As well, guilt can play a role in spending decisions as
time-stressed parents substitute material goods for time spent with their kids.
Here are some of the strategies marketers employ to target kids:
Pester (纠缠) Power C.Today's kids have more autonomy and
decision-making power within the family than in previous generations, so it
follows that kids are vocal about what they want their parents to buy. "Pester
power" refers to children's ability to nag their parents into purchasing items
they may not otherwise buy. Marketing to children is all about creating pester
power, because advertisers know what a powerful force it can be.
D.According to the 2001 marketing industry book Kidfluence, pestering or
nagging can be divided into two categories--"persistence" and "importance".
Persistence nagging (a plea, that is repeated over and over again) is not as
effective as the more sophisticated "importance nagging". This latter method
appeals to parents' desire to provide the best for their children, and plays on
any guilt they may have about not having enough time for their kids.
The Marriage of Psychology and Marketing E.To
effectively market to children, advertisers need to know what makes kids tick.
With the help of well-paid researchers and psychologists, advertisers now have
access to in-depth knowledge about children's developmental, emotional and
social needs at different ages. Using research that analyzes children's
behaviour, fantasy lives, art work, even their dreams, companies are able to
craft sophisticated marketing strategies to reach young people.
F.The issue of using child psychologists to help marketers target kids gained
widespread public attention in 1999, when a group of US mental health
professionals issued a public letter to the American Psychological Association
(APA) urging them to declare the practice unethical. The APA is currently
studying the issue. Building Brand Name Loyalty
G.Canadian author Naomi Klein tracks the birth of "brand" marketing in
her 2000 book No Logo. According to Klein, the mid-1980s saw the birth of a new
kind of corporation—Nike, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, to name a few—which
changed their primary corporate focus from producing products to creating an
image for their brand name. By moving their manufacturing operations to
countries with cheap labour, they freed up money to create their powerful
marketing messages. It has been a tremendously profitable formula, and has led
to the creation of some of the most wealthy and powerful multi-national
corporations the world has seen. H.Marketers plant the seeds of
brand recognition in very young children, in the hopes that the seeds will grow
into lifetime relationships. According to the Center for a New American Dream,
babies as young as six months of age can form mental images of corporate logos
and mascots. Brand loyalties can be established as early as age two, and by the
time children head off to school most can recognize hundreds of brand logos.
While fast food, toy and clothing companies have been cultivating brand
recognition in children for years, adult-oriented businesses such as banks and
automakers are now getting in on the act. Buzz or Street
Marketing I.The challenge for marketers is to cut through the
intense advertising clutter (杂乱) in young people's lives. Many companies are
using "buzz marketing"—a new twist on the tried-and-true "word of mouth" method.
The idea is to find the coolest kids in a community and have them use or wear
your product in order to create a buzz around it. Buzz, or "street marketing",
as it's also called, can help a company to successfully connect with the elusive
(难找的) teen market by using trendsetters to give them products "cool"
status. J.Buzz marketing is particularly well-suited to the
Internet, where young "Net promoters" use chat rooms and blogs to spread the
word about music, clothes and other products among unsuspecting users.
Commercialization in Education K.School used to be a
place where children were protected from the advertising and consumer messages
that permeated their world—but not anymore. Budget shortfalls (亏空,差额) are
forcing school boards to allow corporations access to students in exchange for
badly needed cash, computers and educational materials.
L.Corporations realize the power of the school environment for promoting their
name and products. A school setting delivers a captive youth audience and
implies the endorsement of teachers and the educational system. Marketers are
eagerly exploiting this medium in a number of ways, including: 1) sponsored
educational materials; 2) supplying schools with technology in exchange for high
company visibility; 3) advertising posted in classrooms, school buses, on
computers in exchange for funds; 4) contests and incentive programs: for
example, the Pizza Hut reading incentives program in which children receive
certificates for free pizza if they achieve a monthly reading goal; 5)
sponsoring school events. The Internet M.The
Internet is an extremely desirable medium for marketers wanting to target
children. It's part of youth culture. This generation of young people is growing
up with the Internet as a daily and routine part of their lives. Kids are often
online alone, without parental supervision. Unlike broadcasting media, which
have codes regarding advertising to kids, the Internet is unregulated.
Sophisticated technologies make it easy to collect information from young people
for marketing research, and to target individual children with personalized
advertising. Marketing Adult Entertainment to Kids
N.Children are often aware of and want to see entertainment meant for
older audiences because it is actively marketed to them. In a report released in
2000, the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) revealed how the movie, music and
video games industries routinely market violent entertainment to young
children. O.The FTC studied 44 films rated "Restricted", and
discovered that 80 percent were targeted to children under 17. Marketing plans
included TV commercials run during hours when young viewers were most likely to
be watching. The FTC report also highlighted the fact that toys based on
characters from mature entertainment are often marketed to young children.
Mature rated video games are advertised in youth magazines; and toys based on
"Restricted" movies and M-rated video games are marketed to children as young as
four.
