Avocado toast. Kale smoothies. Goat yoga. More and more consumers are leaning into healthy lifestyles, and brands want to reflect that marketplace. Let’s face it, it’s trending and the health and wellness industry is still on the upswing.
The health club market has grown every year since 2008. Specialty food sales are at an all-time high. And the health and wellness industry is worth $4.2 trillion.
The wellness mindset has become a holistic lifestyle choice. It’s not just about getting in that 30 minutes of cardio anymore. There’s clean eating, tech-tracked fitness activities, work/life balance, supplements, skincare and even wellness tourism.
For advertisers, this cohort of health and wellness enthusiasts isn’t just reserved for health, beauty and fitness brands. Brands across all categories are finding ways to connect and engage with this audience segment. For examples, Land Rover, Lululemon and Nature Valley all lean toward this audience. Cannabis, hemp and CBD brands are also promoting themselves to this niche which may be contributing to their rapid growth.
Through relevant messaging and contextual placements, your brand can achieve the health and wellness coverage or exposure you desire.
