The most important thing you can do in 2019? Understand your customer.
Whether you're ready or not, Millennials are taking over your target audience. They have short attention spans, think philanthropically, and want to follow you on Twitter. It may not be what you’re used to, but it’s the way of the future… for now.
To differentiate itself, your organization must delve into the Millennial psyche and learn what makes them tick. Why? There’s only one thing that can grab their attention and hold it long enough to get your message across: all the feels.
What are “all the feels” and why are they important?
If you’ve never heard of “all the feels,” it’s time to up your slang game. Merriam-Webster is actually watching the phrase, which means that it is so popular in today’s lexicon that it will probably find its way into the dictionary. When someone has “all the feels,” they are feeling an emotion – or, several emotions – intensely. Imagine a baby bunny curled up with a baby koala curled up with a kitten curled up with a puppy – and then give it a sensational backstory.
It may sound silly, but this is the level of emotion required to stand out in a technological era defined by noise. The only way to attract customers is to distract them, connecting with them on a deeper level than ever before – and in ways your organization may have never considered.
