Marketing Boot Camp: Marketing to Today's Military Families
Military officials have often been quoted as saying" We recruit an individual, but we retain a family." The experiences of living on base and the perception of quality of life that privatized housing offers families plays a critical role. Today’s military families have high expectations and recognize that they have choices for housing. This course examines market conditions, marketing tactics and the strategies for effectively marketing to military service members both inside and outside the gate.
