Abstract
This completely new Packaged Facts report provides a comprehensive look at the
36 million young consumers in the 3- to 11-year-old age group. Today' s kids
and tweens are on the cutting edge of the digital generation. They move
seamlessly from sitting in front of Saturday morning TV to watching video on
their PCs and downloading music on their mobile phones. They shift
effortlessly from playing with traditional toys and dolls in the physical
world to creating avatars they can use to live and play in virtual worlds.
Using data from the Simmons Kids National Consumer Survey, the report contains
practical guidance to marketers tasked with developing responsible and
profitable strategies to connect with kids who are faced with intensifying
competition for their attention from an increasingly wide range of media.
The report begins with a chapter identifying trends driving the kids and
tweens market and highlighting opportunities for marketers. The report
continues with a market overview that includes a profile of the kids
population and an assessment of the size and growth of the market.
The next section of the report includes chapters on how kids and tweens spend
their leisure time. One chapter on the social world of kids and tweens
analyzes their relationships with family and friends, while another chapter
shows how kids use computers and the Internet. The next chapter provides a
detailed view of the leisure and entertainment choices of kids and tweens,
including consumer electronics, toys and games and going out to the movies and
to restaurants. Another chapter discusses the media usage habits of kids and
includes an in-depth assessment of magazine readership, television viewing,
radio listening and new media usage.
The next section of the report includes chapters on where kids get their money
and how they spend it. It includes a detailed analysis of the sources of kids'
income and an in-depth look where kids shop and what they buy.
The final section of the report highlights emerging trends in the kids and

population of 3- to 11-year-olds in 2015. Another chapter assesses the
significance of the growing interest of parents and kids in going green by
turning to eco-friendly products and healthy foods.
