Did you know that millennials constitute the largest living generation? Bet you never thought of them that that way — as a bigger cohort than even the Baby Boom generation. Perhaps now, no matter what line of business you are in, you should think of them as that: more influential as a subset of society than other groups and especially as consumers.

April showers bring May flowers, the old saying goes. If you live and work in the northern half of the Unites States, you're probably just now breaking out your light spring jacket and warming up to the idea of some consistent good weather.

Another perk at celebrated events like this and the Golden Globe Awards is what is given away to attendees — the gift bags.
