One more myth is that marketers can reach mature consumers as "spillover" by advertising to younger consumers. The truth is that every generation deserves their own segmented advertising.
The advertising generation of the boomers is born from 1946 to 1964 and is 28% of the population. Boomers are often "thoughtful, aware consumers who make smart purchase decisions." According to AARP research about seven in ten Americans that are over 45 will try a brand when recommended by a trust worthy person. They also say that about half of Americans 45 and over are "always looking for better products." After the age of 45 people are more likely to switch to a pricier brand if the new brand will meet their needs better, has a better reputation for quality, or comes from a brand that they have used in the past and liked. Boomers are very different from their next generation, the Generation X. Generation X actually resents the boomer generation and believes that the boomers left the Generation X to clean up their mess.
The advertising generation of the Generation X is from 1965 to 1978 and is 17% of the population. This generation has been brought up with computers and over advances in technology. To reach success in advertising to Generation X it is important to include three things: convenience, technology, and variety. Gen X are young adults that are starting to make adult purchases like buying cars, homes, education, and starting their retirement savings. When advertising to this generation it is important to "give it to them straight." They are just becoming independent and value unbiased information to make their own decisions. Gen X is known to be called the "convenience-oriented generation" meaning that they love cell phones, e-mail, beepers, voice mail, and such. To Gen-Xers choice is also very important and often equals power in the advertising world. You can't just offer a wide range of products, but offer options within the products.
