Grads

Whether they're moving on to college or moving back in afterwards, grads have accomplished something worth celebrating. Parents, family members and friends will spend over $3.9B on gifts for grads this year to commemorate the milestone.

Marketers can be a part of the event by making a connection with grads and their biggest fans. AOL has the content for everyone from grads planning to travel, to moms helping stock the dorm room. What's more, AOL Advertising has the #1 reach of both grads and grad-gift buyers. This combination gives marketers the opportunity to have an impact on these influential groups.
