Response to Sean's Question: Why are businesses so popular marketing in New York?



As Sean had mentioned in his post, New York is filled with life. Not only is the state large, the population with in New York City is dense. Every person in NYC is chasing something, whether it be an acting or modeling career, a place on Wall street, or just trying to make it in the city. It is the job of marketing to target all those people. Social media helps marketers reach mass amounts of people in such a short period of time. It is efficient and very effective. Everyone wants to be clued in on the latest fashion or the newest thing, everyone is trying to reach the top and out do the others to stand out. Marketers can take advantage of that want people have to sell their products. By people wanting to exceed others they will spend money and be on alert for what is trending in the social media.

            It just makes sense popular businesses would market in New York due to the factors I listed above. By targeting such a broad range of people, using limited resources to reach millions will save the business money but will gain so much due to the large target market. A lot of people in New York are either wealthy or trying to appear as they are succeeding in the city life, so typically money isn’t an issue. This will also be good for businesses because they know people have money to spend on the latest products they are trying to sell. It is their job to get celebrities to back their product and everyone will follow their lead.


Do you think it is right that people care so much about what celebrity’s own/wear? Do you think our society would focus on more important things if they weren’t so focused on material possessions and money?
