With significant influence on household and family purchases, the four key motivating drivers for tweens are fun, freedom, power, and belonging. "The Great Tween Buying Machine" will demystify the newly discovered tween market using research findings and by discussing product development techniques and the latest marketing strategies in packaging, advertising, and promotions.
"The Great Tween Buying Machine" reveals key information on how to expand a company's marketing base now, recognizing that an early investment in the tween market is an investment in a company's future.
