Abstract:
This presentation is based on research comparing the perceptions of marketers and researchers about senior citizens to the reality of these third age individuals over 60 years. With the growth of this population, senior citizens have evolved and it is time to address the needs of this active, technologically savvy and inspirational group more realistically. Senior citizens are no longer a fragile, dependent and techno-phobic group. On the contrary, research shows they are deeply engaged with life and it is necessary to rethink the kind of offerings and communications that appeal to this new golden generation.
