Marketers Starting to See The Light  

Wednesday, May 30, 2007

The very mention of menopause used to clear the room but Boomer Women are continuing to blaze trails as they enter PrimeTime and what used to be discussed only behind closed doors is fodder for magazine covers, books and the stage and an article in today's Chicago Tribune

Eureka!  Folks are starting to listen!  And well they should -- according to the MetLife Mature Market Institute Boomers wield an estimate $2.1 TRILLION in spending money!  And, women are leading the buying (and investing) process just as they do in every other age and lifestage.  Is your marketing message speaking to her? 

“Your presentations were a huge hit at our top producer conferences. They were everything I anticipated and more. I’m glad I paid close attention to Tom Peters when he spoke [at an earlier conference]…He gave a glowing endorsement of your book.”
