COM /II-NICATE and KEEPING IN TOUCH. Not only that, they have tremendous
purchasing power. They spend their money and influence how their parents spend theirs.
BUT teens are nor a single market - to think they are is to court disaster. They are many
markets, defined by age, social maturity, income, location and ethnic identity.
The teen markets can be incredibly profitable, and through the strategic use of technology
they can be targeted QtIICKLY, EFFECTT,ELY and CHEAPIX
