Transformational Consumers are a fast growing $300 billion consumer market segment actively searching for products that
align values with value. In response to getting hit in their pocketbooks with
a new economic tax created by global warming plus health fears tied to unsustainable business practices, the Transformational Consumer is doing a major rethink on what they buy and who they buy from. With an “
in me, on me and around me” focus they are searching for solutions tied to their home, personal finances and health.
Video sales path
The Transformational Consumers’ search for smarter, healthier and greener solutions is increasingly conducted using video. Americans view
11 billion video ads per month almost double the viewership levels of just a year ago. Every month
YouTube has approximately 500 million worldwide viewers who watch 92 billion videos. Each month this represents 2.9 billion hours of viewership equal to over 325,000 years. The data is overwhelming, if your business is trying to sell smarter, healthier and greener products you must have a video presence.
