Children
There has been a decline in of about 6.4% in the number of children aged 2-9 years, between 1990 and 2005. This decline is expected to continue.

This steady decline in the percentage of young children, however, does not necessarily translate into lower sales of products targeted at this consumer group. Smaller families are a matter of choice, with modern couples planning one or two children at the most, so that they may lavish more time, luxury and provide a better quality of life. In fact if anything, more clothes and toys are being bought for children than ever, spurred by the higher disposable income. The incidence is even higher in families that have begun at a later age. The market competition targeting begins at the nursery age group where peer pressure exposes children to pre-school media projects.

Children today are growing up much faster than previous generations and even becoming sophisticated consumers at a much younger age. The young ones have been made conscious because of the proliferation of information over the internet and audiovisual media, becoming better informed about the world around them. They are familiar and comfortable with decision making from a very young age and possess a much developed taste in clothing, food, hobbies & toys, and even furniture and leisure activities. This market consciousness has become an authoritative factor, mainly due to the media hype and the requirement to fit in with the respective age group.

Due to the capricious dynamics, the market has a shorter time and even smaller target market to promote and sell their products for these children. Technology awareness in the children and their increased interest in computers and a sedentary shelved lifestyle has affected the sales of toys. Controversial advertising of junk food has come under scrutiny in UK, and is being considered the sole factor responsible for UK’s obesity crisis. As a response to this criticism, companies like Nestle have changed their marketing objectives to healthier alternatives and are promoting sensible eating habits. The vending machine, refuel: Pod, is one such example offering a balanced range of snacks selected for their nutritional value.

The parents now realize the power of internet, the extent of its resourcefulness and the perks of a wide range of choices. This is a reason why everything from clothes to toys for the children is being ordered online. They recognize the importance of the preferences of their child, and hence have specific prerequisites they are looking for. That means more specific net browsing. They might never be able to find that out on your site. Do you expect them to e-mail you and ask for directions? Why should they? Why shouldn’t they just go to the next site Google came up with?
