The document discusses the Baby Boomer generation, born between 1943-1960. This massive cohort experienced significant post-WWII economic prosperity and stability. Major events during their childhood included the space race, civil rights movement, Vietnam War, and assassinations of JFK and MLK. As adults, Baby Boomers pushed for social change and valued individualism, community, and self-actualization. Now in their 50s and 60s, many Boomers are retiring from the workforce at a rate of thousands per day.
Who are Baby Boomers today? This is the question that this annual report tries to answer. By summarizing and highlighting the most compellingconclusions of academic research, polls,and media on the subject of Boomer
trends, Sabis annual BOOMer Report attempts to define key characteristics of the Boomer generation, as it
stands, today. Taken together, we hope these trends will paint as clear a picture as possible of the Baby Boomer generation in America in 2015.
Marketing to the Baby Boomer generation is going to become more and more prevalent starting now! Beginning January 1st, 2011 every single day more than 10,000 Baby Boomers will reach the age of 65. That is going to keep happening every single day for the next 19 years.

Ericsson ConsumerLab: Connecting the senior generationEricsson
油
A new study from Ericsson ConsumerLab carried out in the United States shows that seniors who use communications technology feel more enriched, informed, younger and more in touch with others and society.
We consider this a grossly underestimated marketing audience. They wield more consumer power than many think and they are a beautifully unique and socially connected group. This presentation offers advice on both understanding and reaching today's seniors through messaging, media and marketing.

SILVER IS THE NEW GOLD - Innovative Marketing Approaches to an Ageing ChinaJonathan Zhang
油
This document appears to be a marketing research report for an aged care provider called CSGroup exploring expansion opportunities in China. Key points summarized:
1. An environmental analysis was conducted identifying issues and opportunities in China's aged care market, such as rapid population aging, traditional family care expectations, government policies, and lack of professionals.
2. A literature review and consultations suggest relationship building, understanding customer needs, and trust are important for marketing.
3. To succeed, CSGroup must understand Chinese cultural values and priorities to deliver innovative and tailored aged care services that meet those needs. Identifying customer wants is seen as crucial.
Sabi was founded in 2009 in response to the discovery of a white space in the market - namely, a dearth of companies catering to the Baby Boomer population, as it ages.
All products on the market required for aging - such as walking canes, pill carriers and bathroom fixtures -
were designed exclusively to be
functional, with virtually no consideration for streamlined usage or aesthetics. We decided it was time to change
that and offer Boomers stylish and expertly designed alternatives - products they would love to use. So,
thats what we did.
In order to determine the most needed products among this large and growing aging population, we did our research. We read everything we could get our hands on - statistical
reports, academic papers, newspaper articles - you name it. The more we read, the more we realized that while there was a lot of very deep and targeted research out there about
the cohort, there was nothing that presented a full and well-rounded picture of the generation.
That was our objective in piecing together and writing the first annual BOOMer Report: to share our learnings and paint a picture, not of one single aspect of the generation,
but instead a snapshot in time of the generation as a whole.
Our ultimate objective is to inspire the emergence of other initiatives like ours - both public and private - that will consider the needs of the population as it ages and design products and services, accordingly.
Having undertaken this process, and developed three product lines geared to Boomers as they age, a singular universal truth has emerged for our small start-up: when you create products to be better designed and more beautiful than alternatives on
the market, no matter which market youre targeting, youll end up creating products that everyone loves to use.

Nielsen: Dont Ignore Boomers: The Most Valuable Generation ReportVivastream
油
This document discusses the Baby Boomer generation and their impact and value as consumers. Some key points:
- Boomers, born between 1946-1964, total over 80 million people in the US and have significantly influenced markets their entire lives through their large numbers and spending power.
- Though often thought to be brand loyal and set in their ways, data shows Boomers are actually as open to new brands and responsive to marketing as other age groups. Their loyalty depends more on household needs than age.
- Boomers have high rates of income, workforce participation, and discretionary spending. They account for a major portion of sales in many categories like consumer goods.
- While younger generations adopt new technologies first
Over the past 10 years men have been portrayed as idiotic, coddled, domestically challenged buffoons, never to be trusted (especially with their own children).
