October issue of FuelNet Monthly reveals how to reach at-work consumers

BOSTON (September 11, 2008) — Studies show that Americans are spending an increasing amount of time at work. As a result, more and more purchasing decisions are being made in the workplace — and smart marketers have noticed. “As marketers are looking to maximize ROI, the importance of targeting gainfully employed, value-seeking consumers is essential,” says Phil Rist, executive vice president of strategy at BIGresearch, a consumer intelligence firm based in Worthington, Ohio.

A handful of marketing companies focus exclusively on at-work consumers, including WorkPlace Media and Captivate Media. However, it is not necessary to hire a specialist to reach this important market segment. The October issue of FuelNet Monthly relates four low-cost, do-it-yourself ways to build awareness for your products or services among workers.
