Incredible Growth In One Year

From April 2009 to May 2010, Pew Internet research indicated that social networking in the 65 and older age group doubled. And the 55-64 age group grew 88% in the same time period.  While the younger population still dominates the networks, older adults are catching up at a rapid pace. E-mail has long been the popular medium for the older adults. But, they are beginning to see and understand the benefits of Facebook, Twitter and other social media mediums.

Marketing Opportunity

This age group is the population that controls most of the wealth in the US. That creates a marketing opportunity. Newspapers are going the direction of the yellow pages. Other than the Wall Street Journal, almost all major newspapers are experiencing significant declines in their readership. More older Americans are getting their information from social media. And the social media is where marketers need to go to reach this market.

How does your business use social media to target older adults?
