How Brands Affect Teens

Research Shows Brands Influence Teens

A
The results of a recent study show that teens love brands- 46 percent say they are
loyal to the brands they like a lot – but more than 50 percent say brands are simply
a way for companies to make money.

When it comes to brand s, some teens agreed that the world would be a better
place without them, but around a third of the teens who were questioned said that
having cool brands makes them feel cool and many of them admitted to being
obsessed with brand names. Surprisingly, however , the most loyal say they would
give up one brand for another : 19 percent say they would do so because of
boredom, and one in four say they would switch if a brand became too popular.

B Teens are trendsetters and they’ve got buying power. They’re also far more clever
than many people think and are not impressed by traditional advertising .
Marketing for teens is a challenge , but with the right product, the right intentions
and the right advertising , it can produce rewards.

1. Make it cool
It will appear on every teen’s wish list
2. Create a craze
Teens are mostly found in group. This makes word- of – mouth advertising
powerful. In other words, if one teen buys a particular brand and likes it,
you can easily sell the same brand to all their friends too.
3. Don,t be obvious
The generation gap needs to be bridged, but teens know when they’re
being talked down to and they’re not attracted to fast –moving flashy
advertising or silly catch phrases. Cutting edge music and quirky images
work better.
4. Think beyond traditional mass media
Teens seldom read print media and they watch TV on their computers . But
simply going onto Facebook or Twitter and asking them to buy something
just doesn’t work.
C
Experts says “ Branding “ Threaten Teens” Identities .

Psychologists are worried by ‘ cradle to grave’ brand loyalty which

companies are creating by aiming at the teen market. The message that the
solution to life’s problems lies in buying the right products has a serious
and dangerous effect.

Once children reach their teens, a stage when they’re naturally insecure and
looking for personal identity, they learn that material possessions are
what’s important , according to research. Advertisers understand teens’
desire to be “cool” and take advantage of it to sell products. The fact that
teens need to identify with their peer group makes them easy targets for
advertisers. The attraction to certain brands develops during adolescence
because it is a time when teens are worried about fitting in with their peer
group. This trend encourages teens to think in materialistic terms,
developing an identity around what they have, rather than who they are and
how they think.

Player Unknown’s Battleground (PUBG)

Player Unknown’s Battleground (PUBG) is an online multiplayer battle royale game

developed and published by PUBG Corporation, a subsidiary of South Korea video game
Bluehole. 27 In the game, up to one hundred players parachute onto an island and
scavenge for weapons and equipment to kill others while avoiding getting killed themselves.
Players can choose to enter the match solo, as a duo , or with a small team up to four people.

The plane’s flight path across the map varies with each round, requiring players to
quickly determine the best time to eject and parachute to the ground. 28 These items
are procedurally distributed throughout the map at the start at the start of a match , with
certain high-risk zones typically having better equipment .

27 This means that surviving players are directed to tighter areas to force
encounters. During the course of the match ,random regions of the map are highlighted in red
and bombed, posing a threat to players who remain in that area. At the completion of each
round , players gain in- game currency based on their perfomance. 30 The last
player or team standing wins the round.

31 The game has sold over 70 million copies on personal computers and game
consoles as of 2020. PUBG has received positive reviews from critics , who found that while
the game had some technical flaws, it presented new types of gameplay that could be easily
approached by players of any skill level.

The game has been attributed to popularising the battle royale genre, with a number of
unofficial Chinese clones also being produced following its success. 32 PUBG
Corporation has run several small tournaments and introduced in –game tools to broadcast
the game to spectators, as they wish for it to become a popular e –sport. On a side note, the
game has also been banned in some countries for allegedly being harmful and addictive to
younger player
A. PUBG is one of the best selling , highest –grossing and most played video games
of all time .
B. Once they land, players can search for weapons, vehicles , armour and other
equipment.
C. We cannot say that PUBG is unique because there have been a lot of games
based in this style.
D. The designer of PUBG, Brendan Greene says that he got his inspiration from the
Japanese film ‘ Battle Royale ‘.
E. The currency is used to purchase crates which contain cosmetic items for
character or weapon customization.
F. You can come within top ten without encountering enemies if you have enough
stealth skills.
G. The available safe area of the game’s map decrease in size over time.
