…. means realizing she isn’t old

WHEN I’M SIXTY-FIVE: How To Market To Boomers

Dr. Bob Deutsch, Brain Sells, Boston
The first Baby Boomers will turn 65 in 2011.  In the US alone, more than 3.5 million babies were born in 1946.  Volumes have been written about the Vietnam-era proclivities and behaviors of this post-WWII cohort.  In contrast, our conception of Seniors - what Boomers soon will be - is [...]

Marketers tend to make two mistakes in targeting boomers. They either treat them like they are aged versions of their youth, or lump them in as “seniors” with everyone over 45 or 50, failing to understand that Midlife is a distinct life stage, unlike youth or old age, with its own rites of passage and turning points.

It seems that they are also the most quality-minded, least value conscious and most interested in [...]

Why Boomers are the Greenest Generation

By Marti Barletta
You may think that Boomers “buy green” because they are “older shoppers” who are spending more time in the store, looking at packaging and reading product claims, which suggests you think of Boomers as retired people who have plenty of leisure time and nothing better to do than read that oh-so-fascinating package copy.
