Fair & ethical marketing to older audiences
This 45 minute training webinar was led by our training specialist Jane Silk and was based on the Silver Marketing Association Guiding Principles that older people are equal members of society and should not be subject to ageist attitudes, stereotyping or conduct. And that people whose job it is to market to older people should be understanding and respectful of their needs. Responsible organisations have a key role to play in identifying and protecting older people when they market to them and interact with them. At a time when scamming, fraud and unethical practices are rising, customers need to be able to turn to organisations they have complete confidence in and can fully trust.
