There are currently 1.3 million active duty military members and 20.4 million veterans in The United States. There is a unique culture around military life, but often brands and marketers have no idea how to speak to us to get us to open our wallets or care. As an Air Force Wife, Marine Corp kid, and grandparents that served in the Korean War and WWII, my unique presentation will breakdown military culture, do’s and don’ts, and how you can sell to this untapped demographic that is ready to buy from brands that care and understand them.
