Abstract
This paper begins by providing a scan of marketing trends in the current business world. It then moves on to the phenomenon of marketing in the senior citizen sector and the changes that need to be made to classic marketing methods in order to fit this unique population group.
From the Paper
"The Wall Street Journal recently ran an article looking into the changing needs and desires of the new class of elderly, the aging baby boomers. "We are stunned at the high percentage of older consumers who felt that their needs were not being met. According to a survey by Georgia State University, consumers 55 and older control 75% of the nation's wealth, and about half of the discretionary income. Other studies from Grey Advertising warn that marketers who overlook the 50-and-over market could be headed for disaster. The over-50 age bracket is an especially good market for tax and legal advice, home entertainment, financial services, and travel and clothing." Time Magazine also echoed the findings as they chided Madison Avenue for disregarding a vast, long ignored market. (Bauer, 1989)"

From the Paper
"Walter M. Bortz, II, M.D. wrote in his foreword, ?the first step to 100 is to believe? (qtd. in Adler vii). If what Bortz had to say is true, I would definitely fail to reach 100. I had never thought about my own aging past 30 and never considered what age I would like to try to achieve. This thinking changed after I came in contact with the wonderful centenarians in Lynn Peters Adler?s non-fiction novel, Centenarians. The upclose and personal encounters she offers helped me to open my eyes to the issues faced by the elderly and to help me consider what I want my own experience with aging to be like."
