Boom
Marketing to the Ultimate Power Consumer - the Baby-Boomer Woman
AMACOM, 2006
¿De qué se trata?
Males 18 to 34 are no longer the coveted demographic. Baby-boomer moms and grandmas really hold the purse strings.
Recommendation
Baby-boomer women remain invisible to most marketers, even though the demographic is expanding in shape and depth, and taking on vibrant colors. Boomer women – born between 1946 and 1964 – outnumber Gen-Xers, Gen-Yers and boomer men. And, contrary to common, outdated beliefs about women older than 40, these financially savvy women are in powerful positions, working longer, embracing new life experiences, and making the majority of purchasing decisions. Authors and boomer experts Mary Brown and Carol Orsborn thoroughly researched the makeup and motivations of boomer woman. They also gathered insights and examples from marketers in various categories who successfully reached this vibrant, varied and influential consumer. The case histories, although engrossing and informative, are set off in boxes throughout every chapter and somewhat interrupt the flow of information. All boomer women will want to read this book for validation of their generation and its achievements. But getAbstract recommends it to men as well, to learn what makes the boomer women in their lives tick. And if you want to learn about marketing to boomer women, this is a good place to start.
