(1) Primary Markets:

Marketing To the Military, Veterans Communities: 

The military community as a whole can be broken down into smaller, targeted segments:

• Active duty:1.3 million active duty military members have an average household income of $74,500 per year, proving that there is a huge opportunity to capture revenue for exclusive military offers.
• Veterans:There are currently 20 million veterans in the United States, and the veteran community is projected to spend $43.6 billion annually.
• Reservists / National Guard Members:There are nearly 450,000 members of the national guard, all earning high wages.
• Registered dependents and military families:The US has 1 million military spouses. They represent a large market of multiple age ranges and interests and spend $51 billion annually.

In a new interview with Kevin Humes, business rep for the American Legion Post #29 who talks about the role veterans can play for businesses, and how businesses can make those consumers — 47 million Americans, counting veteran spouses and families, with a combined purchasing power of $1.4 trillion — feel important and respected.

Marketing to The American Legions: is the largest wartime veteran’s service organization with nearly 2 million members and more than 12,000 posts in communities throughout America. The American Legion, established by an act of Congress in 1919, was instrumental in getting the original GI Bill through Congress and the creation of the Department of Veterans Affairs. Today, the organization is active throughout the United States, supporting current military personnel and veterans, sponsoring American Legion Baseball, Boys State, Oratorical Contests and other activities for youth, and pushing for the adoption of a constitutional amendment to prohibit desecration of the U.S. flag.

Military, Veterans Audience segmentation is an important aspect when it comes to marketing. It is the difference between marketing unnecessarily to unreceptive audiences and getting a low ROI versus targeting specific audiences that boost ROI substantially. It can be challenging to determine your business’s particular audience, but sometimes there are markets sitting right under your nose that need just a little effort to identify. One demographic to serve is active military members and veterans.

 Active-duty members of the military and veterans make up a decent chunk of the population, though they rarely receive targeted marketing campaigns for their shopping habits.  Marketing to military members and veterans could help you get an advantage over your competition while also solidifying them as lifelong clients. With the many benefits associated with marketing to military members and veterans, now is the perfect time to dive into this demographic to serve.
