Generation Wise Marketing – Baby Boomers!

May 27, 2009

Knowledge about the demographics, influences, and techniques used to reach each generation within your target market will prove beneficial to your bottom line.

Do you think you know who you are selling to? Think again. There is not just one generation to target, but a variety of age groups.  Each generation has a diverse set of interests and needs. Business owners must understand and acknowledge these distinctions in order to succeed in today’s marketplace.

So, who are these generations exactly? The pivotal events that these groups experienced since birth help shape their perception of the world. The more you understand about these influences, the more you can utilize these differences and tailor them into your marketing campaign.

  • WWII Generation
  • Baby Boomers
  • Generation X
  • Generation Y

BABY BOOMERS 

The Baby Boom generation, those born between 1945 and 1965, who have stable careers and tend to be established now. They have lived through every significant cultural and marketing trend for the past 50 years, and they worry about caring for their children as well as their parent’s well being.
 
Marketers should focus on the message of empowerment and the ability to make a difference. This group is intelligent and values customer service as well as customized products. Marketing to Baby Boomers requires special attention to detail and understanding of how they differ from the other generations.
