MediaPost: Build Trust In The Era Of Responsibility

by Lindsay on March 7, 2010

Gen Y is known as a group of pretty socially responsible people. However, they are less trusting of the government, the economy and the media. This article gives tips on how to successfully market to young adults and make them trust your brand.

While many Americans, Gen Y especially, are becoming less brand-loyal, seeking only what best meets their needs at the moment, with the right actions and communications, brands can not only retain but also grow the trust they have with this generation.

One tip mentioned is to allow Gen Y to be interactive with your brand. Young adults want a voice, and they want to engage in a discussion, not be talked at. Becoming more interactive and open to feedback is a simple step to becoming more accessible to Gen Y consumers.
