Once upon a time, Baby Boomers were the most coveted consumer market in the world. So, what happened?
You see them everywhere you look. Far more socially and physically active than any previous generation in history, they also carry unparalleled financial influence on society. Yet they are perceived in the world of entertainment, advertising, and in the media, as unsexy, obsolete, and unprofitable.
Some call them Baby Boomers, but they are also The Invisible Customer with All the Money®.

Joanie’s unique expertise and engaging personality can transform and reinvent your brand with the 50 and over market.
For example, when Zyrtec – America’s #1 Allergist Recommended Brand – wanted to appeal to the 50 and over market they turned to Joanie to play “Mary the Bird Expert” in their wildly popular commercial “Fleets of Owls”.
Joanie’s creative instincts for the role and her behind the scenes insight helped make Zyrtec’s 2015 Muddlers of America campaign a huge success. Check out an extended version of the commercial here.
Why Should The Invisible Customer with All the Money® Matter To Your Brand?
Once upon a time, Baby Boomers were the most coveted consumer market in the world. And I should know. I’m not only a Baby Boomer myself, but I co-founded a multi-million-dollar consumer product company, worked in Hollywood for nearly 30 years and authored a #1 Amazon Best Seller about Baby Boomers titled, “Facelifts, Money and Prince Charming.”
It wasn’t long after I began research for my first book that a distinct pattern began to emerge. The media and advertisers seemed to have decided Baby Boomers were no longer a profitable investment. Can this be true?
At 111 million people and growing, those in the 50 and over market are everywhere you look. Far more socially and physically active than any previous generation in history at this age, collectively they wield an unparalleled financial influence on society. Accounting for over 50% of all consumer spending, but with only 10% of ad dollars spent to connect with them, the 50 and over consumer is The Invisible Customer with All the Money™.
But don’t just take my word for it. Check out these revealing statistics:
Is Your Brand Baby Boomer Proof?
With Generation X already knocking on the door of the 50 and over market, the overall size of the 50+ audience is expected to grow by as much as 16 million people in the next decade, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Can the value of connecting with this highly lucrative and financially viable audience truly be overlooked any further?
If you’re in charge of crafting campaigns for Baby Boomers and believe the myth that people over the age of 55 are slow, unsexy and obsolete, you may be prone to irrevocably damaging the credibility of your brand with a demographic that is only going to grow in size.
