All too often we hear the complaint that businesses know about their products and services, but they don’t know about the people they serve. Age-Friendly Business® is out to change that.
By showing businesses how to offer a more respectful, targeted, and age-relevant customer service, those in the age 50+ age bracket can know they are getting the service they deserve.
So why focus on the Boomers and Seniors? They represent almost half of our population, hold between 77% – 80% of all the wealth, and control 50% of discretionary spending. Those in the 50+ age bracket are a powerful group, yet according to an Ipso Reid poll, 40 % of Baby Boomers feel ignored; and in a popular retirement city, seniors went so far as to say that they felt down-right invisible.
