What can I market to Asian American Girls ages 16-24?

STUFF LOL

.

They are into feminine things of course.
Sell them the 'usuals' with an unusual strategy . . .

You're going about this all wrong. You do some research and find a profitable niche market first (dating, video games, weight loss, sports, learn guitar...), and then market things to those people in that niche are looking to buy.

They love make up accessories, bags, lots of bags....

Just saying. I got an Asian gf and all of her friends, and most of my Asian girlfriends are like that =X

I have a unique advertising opportunity for this market and that is why I am doing it backward.

I agree with GGpaul, they are more into fashion stuff, so you can sell them bags, shoes, clothes, makeup and fashion accessories etc,.,

And above all there is Justin Bieber,.,

Ask them what girly magazines they read, then go out and buy the top 3 or so, read them and cut out all of the ads in those magazines. Put them on the table in front of you and you have your answer.

Sell them stuff? Are you sure they even have credit cards?

Best to find a few, ask them their opinions, and encourage them to "ask around" their friends and report back to you again, as well. Your own little "focus group"?

My own instinctive suggestions for this demographic are "educational info products" (especially languages/science/cultural), and after that, maybe fashion/accessories/cosmetics (but these are probably more competitive, less demographic-specific and lower commissions, too?).

My own guess is that 16-18/19 and 19-24 may really be two fairly distinct groups, for a marketer. (And "potential payment difficulties" may indeed be somewhat relevant for the first group, as observed above).

dating offers, makeup stuff, competition can be your friend if you network properly. I would ask for feedback from your group, set up a survey (another thing young girls like to do) with surveymonkey or some other free survey service and see what comes back

Good Luck!

Do you already know at least one site where they hang out online?

If so you can use compete.com and quantcast.com to find out more related websites and that should give you plenty of ideas.

I would contact these girls and ask them what they like to buy the most. What subject are they most interested in. What they are willing to pay for these items.

You don't even have to personally talk to them. There are many forums online that these girls hang around so you can ask them these questions there.

If they haven't graduated yet... birth control. I swear 20% of the kids in this area are pregnant. They probably have to get their parents permission, to give their child permission to even see a doctor. My youngest daughter is now in 12th grade, and she tells me how many of them are pregnant... it is insane. Then they all have welfare benefit cards. I watch these pregnant kids, buy subs at the local service station with benefit cards.

Sell them something about drive, and not being stupid, and wanting more from life. Maybe not being content with just existing.

Blah sorry, just came back from cumberland farms (mini mart/service station), and saw a kid pregnant with a kid again... using... { { drum roll } }... a benefit card. See this at least 15 times a week. Then saw the title of this post lol.

Don't know why people say you are marketing backwards, lol. You are doing some ol' school direct market selling.

Find out what females in that demographic are looking at or buying, find sites selling to that market and you can set up advertising with them and pull them into going to your site where you sell similar things in a way more specialized to their market.

Why................ ????

Yes, I'm genuinely curious.

Asians buy a lot of electronic products,tvs,computers,phones....
Just like Americans...

Antidepressants
Sex toys, large dildos
Dairy products
Calcium supplements
Anti-anxiety courses
Diet books / courses
Weight Loss products
Career books and magazines
Spanx
Breast enlargement products

Sell them. Make-up and hair accessories. Super important in their culture.

The answer quite subjective , it can be diffrerent for each girls.What is her passion and culture. But mostly gadget, girly thing,beauty, food.

Might want to think about that term "Asian-American" girls. A Korean-descent girl probably isn't going to have the same tastes and preferences as a Vietnamese-descent girl.

As always, niche down.

Well, I happen to have some asian/american relatives and have seen them from as young as maybe 6 into their thirties or so. They were raised VERY asian. The boy died through a dumb mistake, so they are both girls. The American father merely let their mother rule the place. And they both learned japanese at one point, the older daughter became fluent.

I HAVE known others, but saw these at relatively frequent points. They were first and foremost female. Most things most females were interested in THEY were. and the older one was one to wear dresses, etc... and kind of into fashion. The younger was almost a thomboy type. She actually lived wth a biker and helped him with his motorcycle parts business for a time. ALSO, when she was young, she learned the accordian! NOT an asian instrument! They were BOTH fluent in English and, talking to them on the phone, you would NEVER know they were asian or that their mother spoken Japanese at home.

Did I mention that they ALSO were in an asian area with many like themselves.

So HEY, treat them like females! You might through in some stuff about learning the language of thr other country, or things having to do with the other country, but they will be happy with the country they are in. My cousins, for example, would appreciate history, gifts, etc.. from japan, and even japanese art, food, or language courses.

Think what would be of real service to them
do it with right attitude and the Universe will support your efforts.
Most young women are raised to lack self confidence
this maybe more so in some male dominant asian cultures
They are insidiously targeted via media advertising who play on
and increase them feeling lacking in themselves
so that they can be marketed to
any glamour items from toiletries to clothes.
Few have enough self confidence to not get caught up in that
and it can be expensive for their BF's and husbands too
this never fulfilled lack of self worth consumerism.
Lack of self worth is also a large factor in teenage pregnancy.
So think products that help them improve that and create and provide real solutions.
I have a few such things as I aim at positive karma

clothes and accessories....girls like to shop..

Hello kitty stuff, nail art, cheap korean made jewelry, iphone cases, fake eyelashes, colored contact lenses, make up. There are asian malls here and I find those products to be the best sellers.

Why not go onto the asian part of craigslist or ebay and see what is the most popular categories on there or type in asian girls in google search box and see what the words that come up afterwards are.
