Brands that nail it? They get military culture. They show up authentically, consistently, and with something to offer that truly serves.

Brands typically make attempts to connect and engage with the military community on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Throw in a discount and this is what the market has told the military to expect in the way of outreach. For a brand willing to do more, there is an opportunity to turn the heads of the ~40 million consumers that make up the military community.
Marketing to the military should be an “always on” mentality, not just a few touches throughout the year at the same time every other brand is doing the exact same thing. The military community is one of the largest American consumer segments, made up of people from all walks of life. Their diversity and lifestyle offer tremendous marketing opportunities through military advertising services to brands who serve every audience. For a brand to really connect with this group, a level of understanding is required – not just check-the-box marketing done on Veterans Day.
