An Iron Road guide to understanding the 60+ consumer market

How much business is your “60+” targeting missing?

Age tells you when someone was born, but understanding how they live gives you a much better starting point for understanding why they buy.

Download Iron Road’s guide to discover what broad age categories can hide, and how a closer understanding of older consumers can help you identify the customers your business is best placed to serve.

Why it matters

Your next customer may be older than you think.

A 62 year old who’s running a business and planning an overseas trip has different priorities from someone adapting their home as their mobility changes. Yet both can end up in the same marketing audience.

When your targeting groups them together, it’s easy to overlook the reasons each might choose you.

Drawing on research from Harvard Business School, Boston Consulting Group and other sources, this guide explores the commercial value of older consumers and the differences that shape their purchasing decisions.

Inside the guide, you’ll discover:

  • Why older consumers deserve a closer look, including the spending, loyalty and influence that contribute to their commercial value.
  • What age alone can’t tell you, and how health, lifestyle, finances and social connections affect what people want.
  • Four consumer groups worth understanding, with different needs, priorities and purchasing preferences.
  • What this means for your business, with examples across travel, financial services, fitness, home services and retirement living.
