as a great place for parents to hang out.
Baby Tula, a
brand that creates baby carriers
for parents, uses blogs, video tutorials and runs a successful Facebook group to be used as a safe space for parents to chat about their little ones, share photos, and gather advice and support.
Lego uses it
website effectively
, splitting it up into two sections: one for parents to shop and get help and another for kids to play with toys online.
To advertise successfully to millennial parents, Zen Media highlights the importance of
mobile and in-store marketing
working together seamlessly. To elaborate, it cites the example of Target’s Cartwheel app which can be used to add coupons to the cart while the consumer shops in-store.
It also stresses upon the importance of
being authentic on every level
, from brand voice to mission and vision, to advertising. To elaborate the concept further, it cites the marketing campaign of Johnson’s Baby Shampoo where the brand successfully uses
infographics and video
to explain how bath time for babies can actually play a large role in developing baby’s senses and stimulating brain development.
Diandra Silk, a senior brand strategist, stresses upon the importance of
leading with product functionality
that results in formulation of meaningful connections.
To elaborate her point, Ms. Silk cites the example of Target’s “
Design for All
” philosophy. Following this philosophy, Target expanded its in-house Cat & Jack clothing line to include items with sensory-processing sensitivities that involved heat-transferred tags and flat seams
for kids bothered by itchy tags
and seams that irritate their skin.
