Helping businesses connect with the 50+ market

by | Sep 29, 2011 | Advice & Tips

Our fall 50+ PrimeTime Living Expo is next week, and we’re pumped! We’ve been helping businesses connect with this market since 2001, and it’s never been more important than right now as companies find competition is fierce for every consumer dollar spent.

By next year, there will be 100 million Americans age 50 and older. Most of these will be baby boomers, ranging in age from 48 to 66. Baby boomers making up the largest block of  American consumers, so their spending habits have a proportionately larger effect on business.

If your company targets baby boomers and relies on boomer spending trends, then you must keep up with their buying habits and continually talk with them about their changing needs. One of the best ways to do this is to talk with this group face to face, in a relaxed, fun environment such as the 50+ PrimeTime Living Expos. We keep things light and lively with musical performances, talent contests and even an interactive area where people can try their hand at the creative arts.

Over the years, we’ve found that these events are excellent opportunities for test marketing new products, creating awareness about new services, and getting feedback from consumers about what you might need to change if you are to remain competitive.

How many prospects will you see next Tuesday and Wednesday? We’ll probably have several thousand people come through the expo doors and browse our exhibitors’ booths.

Think that just might give these businesses a leg up over their competition?

Robin will coordinate the writing for your newsletters, social media posts, website, blogs, newsletters and press releases. “I like interviewing clients and spokespeople, hearing their stories, getting to know their personalities and listening to how they phrase their thoughts,” she says. “It’s fun to transform what I’ve learned from those conversations into media-grade content.” Robin enjoys shaping content to ensure that the message will be clearly received. “When someone understands the relevance of what they’re writing and can position it properly for their audience, their work tends to be more convincing and on point. I’m fortunate to have a very diverse background, which gives me a good perspective whenever we bring on a new client.” An IABC- and Mercury-award winner, Robin says her practical experience in the health sciences has proven particularly beneficial as she interprets clients’ scientific information for mainstream media. “But it’s no longer sufficient to write well,” she cautions. “As marketers, we must now comply with the intricacies of digital marketing. That involves a whole set of rules, which are constantly evolving.”
