Silver Audience Consumer Panel

Watch the consumer panel recording here 

 

Part of our series of watch-on-demand webinars, exclusively for members of the Silver Marketing Association, sharing insights and tips covering a range of subjects about how to market more effectively to an older audience.

With our latest webinar, we take a slightly different stance and with our consumer panel, you’ll be able to listen to our online round table discussion with a panel of silver consumers, all aged in their mid to late 60s, facilitated by our Marketing Services Director, Jane Silk.

Some of the themes we explore during the session with our panellists include:

  • What channels they prefer to use when buying products and services
  • How and when they research and buy
  • What would encourage them to buy a particular product
  • Whether they are loyal to specific brands
  • Their responses to current advertising aimed at their age group
  • How their age has impacted on their attitudes and what and how they purchase as they grow older
