How to Learn More about Gen Y

By Lisa Chapman on January 11, 2011

Best Gen Y Bloggers

As part of their ongoing efforts to attract their target market, including Gen Y, OnlineDegreePrograms.com maintains a value-packed blog, including the post: “50 Best Gen Y Bloggers”.

In this post, Gen Y professionals from a wide variety of fields share their views and preferences, advice and insights. By reading these blogs, your market research becomes much more than research. It becomes a window into the Gen Y consumers’ thoughts.

Topic categories include:

  • New Grads
  • Entrepreneurship
  • Business and Marketing
  • Finance
  • Life
  • Women
  • Politics and Society
  • Technology.

If that’s not enough, I quote the list below, posted by Rebecca Thorman on Modite.com. Thorman’s blog posts are well-respected sources for giving the ins and outs of Generation Y.

Another Viewpoint: Gen Y and the Easter Bunny

According to Ian Watson, “Gen Y doesn’t exist – This is a list of interesting people with interesting views but Gen Y are as real as the Easter Bunny!”

In his own post, he offers the perspective; “There are records of Dutch priests in the 18th century that lament the lude and drunken behaviour of the young people in his parish. Have young people really changed? I think not – it is our perception that changes as we grow older.”

So, after processing some of these resources in your Gen Y market research, what do you think? Are they REALLY different? How do YOU use differences to capture their attention and engage them?

(Thanks to Online Degree Programs for the inspiration.)
