Mind Your X's and Y's: Satisfying the 10 Cravings of a New Generation of Consume | |
In Mind Your X's and Y's, Lisa Johnson proves that the buying habits of 18-to-40-year-olds can be anticipated. Johnson, coauthor of Don't Think Pink and a leading marketing consultant, pinpoints the new rules of engagement for this Connected Generation. Based on her own and others' groundbreaking research, she looks into the heart of the Gen X and Y psyche to identify its ten core cravings -- for adventure, for high-concept design, for new families and social networks, and for personal storytelling, to name a few.
This revolutionary book is packed with fascinating case studies of established and breakaway brands from every major industry, interviews with dozens of maverick thinkers and hundreds of consumers, and numerous revealing statistics. Johnson analyzes the scope of each craving to determine how it drives specific buying behaviors and offers relevant data that illustrate its impact. Mind Your X's and Y's equips anyone who wants to reach these consumers -- brand managers and their advertising, online, creative, packaging, events, and promotions teams; small-business owners and their marketing staff; advertising agencies and specialists -- with the know-how to transform market research into profitable strategies.
Members of Generations X and Y are the most coveted and hard-to-reach consumers in the marketplace. Mind Your X's and Y's is a master class in how to create compelling brands for this Connected Generation.

专业书评 From Publishers Weekly
For those who want to know what the wired generations want to consume and experience, this book provides plenty of insights. CEO of marketing consultancy ReachWomen, Johnson clearly knows her topic, providing many examples of brands that have appealed to the desire for personalization, adventure, high concept design, loose family and social networks, spirituality and five other core "cravings" of 18- to 40-year-olds. Each chapter is also sprinkled with case studies to illustrate marketing success stories, ending in workbook sections with exercises that will help readers apply the advice in each chapter. In fact, readers would do well to read this book close to a computer or keep a pen at hand to jot down URLs. The volume of information is at once its strength and shortcoming: 10 chapters deliver on the subtitle's promise, but the information can be overwhelming. Fortunately, the author addresses that concern in the book's conclusion, where she outlines some ways to put new ideas to work within an organization. (Sept.)

From Booklist
As baby boomers move past their peak spending years and begin to move toward retirement, marketers are focusing their attention on a new generation of consumers. Generation X (1965-79) and Generation Y (1980-97) are technology-fluent individuals who have embraced cell phones, BlackBerries, e-mail, and text messaging, but they have also been so inundated with advertising that they are cynical and difficult to reach. Johnson, CEO and cofounder of the Reach Group, is an award-winning marketer and expert on Gen X & Y and female consumers. She notes that as Gen X & Y have come into dominance in the marketplace, immersed in highly networked, "always on" gadgets and technologies, they have emerged as the "Connected Generation." Johnson identifies 10 core "cravings" that drive these consumers to connect with and buy products, and she highlights the challenges in reaching this group with real-world success stories such as the Motorola Razr, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Target, and Red Bull Energy Drink. The result is effective as both a marketing workbook and a study of social trends. David Siegfried
