Report Highlights
The number of senior consumers in Europe is set to grow from 127 million in 2002 to 147 million in 2007. With an average disposable income of €19,800 Europeans aged 50-64 represent a highly attractive segment. However a new age of senior consumerism will force marketers to change their conventional approaches to targeting older consumers.
Although seniors show greater awareness towards healthy eating and drinking, prevalence of obesity and cholesterol levels remain high. Marketers must resolve the indulgence versus health issue and focus on communicating product benefits rather than emphasizing the problems they seek to counter.
Seniors continue to feel alienated from ineffective marketing activity. In appropriate circumstances, marketers can make use of ‘ageless marketing’ in order to target seniors with their product offerings without alienating other younger audiences. In such circumstances it is appropriate to use advocates with cross generational appeal.
