Are high-school students a lucrative market (and I'm not talking the mobile ad ponzi)? I was pretty poor at that age.

High school students have a lot of influence on what their parents spend on them for certain things like consumer electronics, restaurants, family vacations, clothes, etc. "Mom please buy me an Xbox for Christmas!"

They grow up really quick. That's actually really nice for an investment, since you are literally betting on the future.

It's accepted marketing lore that if you get brand loyalty during teenage years, it will probably stick for life.

There's a reason Coke and Pepsi are so aggressive at advertising to that demographic.
