Understand exactly who you are targeting defines what your marketing strategy should be: instagram vs facebook, e-mailers vs google ads, and even billboards vs in-store events.

Build it.

Making sure brand adjacencies align to your brand identity on the selling floor can increase your sales by drawing in customers with similar psychographics. Getting prime floor placement can double sales and increase customer awareness leading to strong brand recognition.

Recognizing that they all don’t want to shop as previous generations is the key to winning their purchasing power.
