How should businesses respond to the rapidly growing pool of older consumers? By Howard Riell | Special to VEGAS INC
The pace of life may be speeding up, but more Americans than ever are slowing down. Âś According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of Americans 65 and older is projected to nearly double by the middle of this century, when they will account for more than 20 percent of the population (in 1970, it was fewer than 10 percent).

SOUTHWEST COULD THROW A WRENCH IN STADIUM PLANS Driving around Las Vegas, you constantly see commercial planes taking off from McCarran International Airport or lining up to land. And they often belong to Southwest Airlines. Southwest is a key player in the valley’s tourism-based economy, and Las Vegas is a big money-maker for the airline. So it’s no surprise the company objected to plans by casino operator Las Vegas Sands and developer Majestic Realty to build a 65,000-seat football stadium on Tropicana Avenue, across from the airport. A stadium built “less than half a mile from the ends of two of McCarran’s major runways will restrict operations” at the airport and “erode safety, security and capacity,” Southwest executives wrote in a recent letter to Clark County Commission
Chairman Steve Sisolak. “Please consider an alternative site,” they wrote. The Dallas-based carrier is by far the busiest here, flying 7.3 million passengers to and from McCarran this year through May, comprising 43 percent of domestic air traffic. It’s highly unlikely that Southwest would simply stop serving McCarran if the stadium were built on Tropicana; there’s too much revenue at stake. But its opinion matters, and Sisolak knows it. As he told KSNV-TV: “For Southwest Airlines to come out and say they’re in opposition to that site, and the chief pilot to say he’s in opposition to that site, the five words — ‘please consider an alternative site’ — ring pretty solid with me.” — ELI SEGALL

Q&A with Paula yakubik
Only hard work will land you the big fish Managing Partner Paula Yakubik has a lot to say on the subject of recent news for advertising and PR firm MassMedia. In addition to new corporate headquarters in Green Valley, MassMedia is celebrating some notable new clients, such as McDonald’s social media in Phoenix (where the firm also has offices) and the proposed Adelson/Majestic domed stadium, Cowabunga Bay, Nevada State College and Miracle Flights. Yakubik says the team now comprises more than 40 people, and they’re focused on growth. What is the best business advice you’ve ever received? A mindful teacher in Laguna Beach, Calif., taught me to slow down and learn to “ride the waves.” The advertising business is competitive and fast-paced. It can be thrilling, rewarding and exciting, but it can also be disappointing, frustrating and downright appalling. I started MassMedia 19 years ago and today can proclaim that learning to ride the waves makes it more gratifying and enjoyable. If you could change one thing about Southern Nevada, what would it be? Our access to great specialist doctors. I find myself leaving the state due to it taking months and months to get an appointment with a good doctor. My son’s allergy doctor could not see him for seven months. This cannot and should not happen. You’ve been in business since 1997. What has been your key to success? Working hard, and our commitment to building a smart, strategic management team that wants to win. We are laser-focused on our goals, the vital factors that drive our company, and we have a clear path toward growth and progression. What has been your most exciting professional project? There are so many. For me personally, it was pitching and winning the Healthcare Partners business in Nevada. We went up against a large firm and won the business; it was very exciting. What are you reading right now? I am obsessed with audio books, completing four to five a month now. I just finished “Living with a Seal,” Steve Case’s “The Third Wave,” “What Great Brands Do,” “David and Goliath” and “The Four Agreements.” What do you do after work? After work is my favorite time of the day. It usually consists of a quick dinner with my family, then heading out to softball, football or basketball with my kids. On the days we don’t have sports, we walk the Anthem loop, take a bike ride or swim. Describe your management style. I am a hardworking, hard-driving executive who wants our team to focus and deliver results for our clients. I try to lead by example in everything that I do. I have a capable and hardworking team under me, so I don’t really micromanage the day-to-day. I let them take the lead. However, I am involved with setting the course for the company and ensuring all aboard help us get to where we say we are going.
Paula Yakubik started MassMedia 19 years ago. (L.E. Baskow/Staff)
Where do you see yourself and your company in 10 years? I will be right here, working hard, continuing to grow the team and company I love. What is your dream job outside of your current field? I am absolutely living my dream at MassMedia. I am so thankful for this company, the team and our clients. I am so grateful for every opportunity we are afforded and for all of the success we have had over the years. With that being said, if there was no MassMedia, I would pursue a career as a documentary filmmaker with a goal to win an Oscar. I have always dreamed of walking the red carpet and thanking my husband and children in front of Hollywood royalty. If you could live anywhere else in the world, where would it be? I love Laguna Beach and plan to retire there when I have no real income, because I am not a fan of California state taxes. Whom do you admire? I tend to admire women entrepreneurs who have developed successful companies, such as Arianna Huffington, the Honest Company’s Jessica Alba, Spanx Founder Sara Blakely and clothing designer Tory Burch. They inspire me in different ways, but
it’s refreshing to know they have all endured adversity in their businesses and overcame it. What is your biggest pet peeve? People who think they can get ahead without working hard, and state officials who award advertising and PR contracts to out-of-state companies. We have a lot of talent and really great firms in Nevada. We provide jobs and call Nevada our home. Where do you like to go for business lunches? My favorite is the Veranda at the Four Seasons, but I also really like Panevino and Table 34. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? My family genetics. My grandmother, my aunt and my mother have all had breast cancer. It’s scary and a heavy burden to carry. What is something people might not know about you? I am pretty much an open book, but one thing people might not know is that I love to fish. From Alaska to Oregon to lakes in Idaho, I love the competition and the thrill of the catch. When me and my husband were dating we went ice fishing and I caught the biggest fish. I haven’t let up. On all of our family fishing trips we compete, and I am always the winner.

Who are your customers?
We have tattooed the stereotypical grandmother from next door and the most interesting characters society has to offer, as well as construction workers, bikers, stayat-home mothers, doctors and just about everyone else.
Vegas has anything to do with how difficult it is to operate a successful business. There are over 300 tattoo shops in Las Vegas, and not even that makes it hard to do business here. I look at it all as a challenge, and that is what drives the staff and myself daily to be better than we were yesterday.
What is the best part about doing business here?
Do business in a way so that if someone spoke badly of us, no one would believe it.
There is still a good amount of stigma or taboo where tattoos are concerned. Combine this stigma with the daring act of getting that first tattoo and the fact that tourists use their trip to Vegas as an excuse to do what they consider “wild” things, and you have the perfect setting for a successful tattoo shop.
How have tattoo shops evolved over the years?
What have you learned from the recession?
A lot of would-be tattoo artists and even seasoned artists are bitten by the “rock-star” label that is associated with the job. As social stigmas of tattoos continue to lift and tattoos become increasingly acceptable, this type of mentality becomes more and more prevalent. This is unfortunate, as tattooing is all about an art form that precedes almost every other art form known to man. As far as shop décor and vibe, most shops still adhere to that old-school rebel vibe and tend to look as if a heavy metal band and a biker bar had a child together. At Savage Ink, we have taken a neutral and artistic approach to our décor, adopting styles such as 1800s French provincial and fantasy genres rooted in the steam-punk realm.
The recession taught me that in order to survive, whether you are a business owner or not, you must adapt to your market. If income drops, you must adjust your spending, bills, etc., to match your income. If we have to do $5 tattoos all day, we will. However, Nevada has a history of being fairly recession-proof due to the service-industry nature of this town. Our business is obviously a luxury, and can be a quite expensive one, at that. Adjusting our prices keeps us in business, as people historically will still look for that escape from their everyday problems. It may be going to the movies for one person and getting a new tattoo for the next. Making your services accessible and obtainable no matter what market you are operating in is the key to being around to see the end of a recession and the rebuilding of the economy. Adapt or close your doors; that’s about as simple as it gets.
What is your business philosophy?
What is the hardest part about doing business in Las Vegas?

UNLV research director: No downside of local economy By eli segall Staff Writer
Las Vegas’ economy, all but wiped out by the recession, has regained its footing in recent years. Wages are up, more people are working, home prices have climbed and visitor totals have broken record levels. But in several ways, Las Vegas remains near the bottom of the pack nationally. The valley’s unemployment, foreclosure rates miller and share of underwater homeowners — or borrowers whose mortgage debt outweighs their home’s value — have improved since the depths of the downturn, but remain some of the highest in the country among large metro areas. UNLV’s Center for Business and Economic Research hosted a midyear economic outlook conference recently at the Venetian and Palazzo. The center’s director, UNLV professor Stephen Miller, spoke with VEGAS INC about the economy, including the housing market and the
possible effects of electric-car startup Faraday Future and high-speedtransit startup Hyperloop Technologies, both of which are developing facilities at the mostly empty Apex Industrial Park in North Las Vegas. How would you describe the Las Vegas economy? What are its strengths and weaknesses? Employment is growing, and it’s been growing for some time. Incomes are actually starting to rise and underwater mortgages are down, although we still lead the nation in that category. Everything seems to be growing. We don’t see any downside at the moment. No signal of recession, nationally or locally. Las Vegas’ unemployment rate has been chopped to just over 6 percent, but are you concerned that it’s still one of the highest in the country? We were ground zero for the Great Recession. We dug the deepest hole, so we had the furthest to come back from. This year should be a good year, though. At the peak of the real estate
bubble, Las Vegas had more than 100,000 constructionindustry jobs, then it fell to a low of about 35,000 and is now around 55,000. What does it tell you that construction jobs are nowhere near peak? We know in 20/20 hindsight that the construction activity was way in excess of what it should have been. We should not be hoping to return to that level of activity. But the population is growing again, and when the population grows, you need more housing, and there are some projects either about to start or that should start in the near future that should add construction jobs. I would say at the moment that the growth in construction jobs is healthy and it’s not excessive. What is the makeup of the labor force now versus, say, five years ago? Leisure and hospitality is still the most important component of the labor force — it’s around 30 percent in Las Vegas. The growing sectors are education and health, and business and professional services. But both of those sectors, especially
Proposal to boost Metro funding stalls By jackie valley Staff Writer
The Clark County Commission’s proposal to give Metro Police an additional $1 million has fizzled for now. The extra six-figure sum — above and beyond the county’s budgeted contribution to the police department — would have gone toward hiring more officers, but the proposal came with a caveat: The city of Las Vegas needed to contribute another $600,000, per the department’s funding formula. The total budget augmentation, in that case, would be roughly $1.6 million. That amount would have covered the cost of hiring one sergeant, two detectives and 10 officers as part of a “neighborhood engagement team” designed to combat violent crime. In June, the Las Vegas City Council allocated an extra $440,000 to the police department to fund an additional neighborhood engagement team during the summer months. The team, however, is temporary and based on overtime staffing. That’s what prompted the commission’s $1 million proposal. Commissioners hailed their proposed contribution as a permanent
means to enhance police staffing rather than a temporary fix. It was another move in the ongoing verbal tugof-war between the city and county. The two entities have been vying to be perceived as the bigger supporter of public safety. City officials said they expected to be able to allocate an additional $160,000 by December, which, on top of the $440,000 contribution, would total the needed $600,000. The city intends to make this funding ongoing, but the allocation would need to go through the budgeting process next year, officials said. So, without a guaranteed commitment from the city, the county didn’t move forward with its proposal. “Take the message back that without the city’s contribution, we can’t contribute the million dollars,” Commissioner Steve Sisolak told a Metro representative during a meeting July 5. After the commission meeting, Rich Hoggan, the police department’s chief financial officer, said he expected the funding discussion to resurface in the spring when the entities started working on their budgets again. The new fiscal year for both the county and city began July 1 and will run through June 30, 2017.
education and health, are below national averages in terms of the percentage of the total workforce. We’ve stayed behind. What could get better in the economy over the next six months? If Apex Industrial Park, Faraday and Hyperloop come to fruition, if they materialize as people are saying and planning, that could have a big impact on the local economy. Faraday Future has a pretty large job impact, and the jobs are well-paying jobs. In addition, there might be new firms here that supply the electriccar industry. What could become, or continue to be, problematic in the next six months? I really don’t see anything on the horizon. If we had a terrorist event on Las Vegas Boulevard, and if that significantly reduced our visitor volume, that would not bode well for the near future. If China were to run into a significant collapse in, say, its housing industry, or its economy were to slow dramatically, that eventually would have an effect on us.
Nevada company to collaborate with UN on space missions By daniel rothberg Staff Writer
Sparks-based Sierra Nevada Corp. could provide an affordable way for countries to travel to space under an agreement it has signed with the United Nations. Although details of the partnership are still being worked out, the aerospace firm would work with the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs to help U.N. member states access space using the company’s Dream Chaser spacecraft. A winged vehicle that resembles a mini space shuttle, the Dream Chaser is being developed as a reusable shuttle for low-Earth orbit space missions. This year, NASA included the Dream Chaser as a spacecraft that will deliver cargo to the International Space Station as early as 2019. The collaboration is meant to provide U.N. member states the ability to conduct science experiments that test microgravity science or space equipment. “At (the U.N. Office for Outer Space Affairs) we are committed to helping all countries benefit from space technologies and capabilities,” Simonetta Di Pippo, the office’s director, said.

Businessman with ties to boom-era Las Vegas projects facing prison time By eli segall Staff Writer
A former tycoon who developed opulent Las Vegas projects and imploded the New Frontier in a failed plan to build a Strip megaresort has been convicted of securities fraud. Nochi Dankner, former chairman and controlling shareholder of Israeli conglomerate IDB Group, was found guilty in Israel of stock manipulation and other securities-related charges. He could face up to five years in prison, according to Israeli newspaper Haaretz. Dankner was accused of manipulating the share price of his publicly traded IDB Holding Corp. ahead of a stock offering in early 2012, reports said. Tel Aviv-based IDB says it invests in insurance, retail, tourism, real estate, communications and other industries. News reports did not say whether Dankner’s alleged financial crimes had any effect on, or were tied to, IDB’s Summerlin-area projects — retail and office complex Tivoli Village and luxury condo towers One Queensridge Place — or its past ownership stake in the former New Frontier site near Fashion Show mall. His conviction, however, comes more than two years after he lost control of IDB, whose Las Vegas investments got hammered during the recession along with the valley’s broader economy. Dankner used to be one of the most powerful businessmen in Israel, and his fall from the corporate elite has been closely followed there. He’s also taken criticism for IDB’s purchase of the New Frontier. IDB partnered with Israeli mogul Yitzhak Tshuva’s El-Ad Group to buy the 16-story casino-resort for $1.2 billion in 2007, and they imploded it that year. They planned to develop Plaza Las Vegas, a luxury resort with 4,100 hotel rooms and 2,600 condo units. But once the economy crashed, their plans went nowhere. Ultimately, Australian casino mogul James Packer, former Wynn Resorts executive Andrew Pascal and Los Angeles investment firm Oaktree Capital Management took charge of the vacant site in 2014. They acquired 18.4 acres through foreclosure and rented the remaining 16.2 acres from longtime own-
ers the Elardi family, and have laid out plans to develop Alon Las Vegas, a twotower, 1,100-room resort. In 2012, with the property facing foreclosure, Haaretz wrote the development plans that started “with a literal bang” were “ending with a whimper.” In another story about Dankner that year, Haaretz called the New Frontier purchase “one of his worst decisions yet.” In 2014, after a judge upheld a plan to shift control of debt-laden IDB to new owners, an Israeli financial news editor wrote that Dankner was “responsible for terrible damage not just to his company but to the entire Israeli business environment” and cited, among other things, a failed “megalomaniac” project in Las Vegas, Reuters reported. Dankner took control of IDB in 2003, according to Haaretz. Under his watch, the company partnered with Las Vegas-based EHB Companies on two projects near Summerlin during the real estate bubble. The developers broke ground in 2006 on Tivoli Village, the Mediterraneanthemed, mixed-use project at Rampart Boulevard and Alta Drive. It was slated to open with roughly 500,000 square feet of retail and 200,000 square feet of office space. After the market crashed, the partners considered mothballing the project but chose to build in phases instead. The first portion opened in 2011. The second and final phase was expected to open by the end of 2013, but construction has been slow going, and it’s now slated for completion in October. IDB and EHB also developed One Queensridge Place, two 18-story condo towers across Rampart from Tivoli. The buildings opened in 2007, and by 2008, buyers had picked up about 150 of the towers’ roughly 220 condos. But sales of new units dropped to zero in 2009, after the bubble burst. EHB and IDB reportedly parted ways more than three years ago, and IDB took control of Tivoli and One Queensridge. By spring 2014, after Dankner lost control of IDB, the conglomerate was trying to sell a 50 percent stake in its Las Vegas holdings: Tivoli, a dozen unsold units at One Queensridge and about 20 acres of nearby land.

MGM Resorts expands solar array, now nation’s largest By daniel rothberg Staff Writer
The nation’s largest rooftop solar array is now on the Strip. After expanding an array atop the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, MGM Resorts International announced its roughly 26,000 solar panels spanning 28 acres set a record as the largest rooftop setup in the United States. At full production, the system will provide Mandalay Bay 25 percent of its energy. MGM Resorts has been active in pushing for renewables and has emerged as a player in debates over Nevada’s energy policy. The company plans to pay about $87 million to leave NV Energy’s service in October and purchase power from an alternative provider. MGM Resorts also contributed $10,000 to the Energy Choice Initiative, a ballot measure to end NV Energy’s control over supplying power to most of Nevada. MGM Resorts’ Mandalay Bay array, built by NRG Energy, was unveiled in 2014. Through the second-phase expansion, MGM Resorts and NRG Energy added about 5,000 solar panels. “The expansion of our rooftop solar installation at Mandalay Bay significantly advances our resort’s commitment to being a leading sustainable destination for conferences and conventions,” Chuck Bowling, Mandalay Bay’s president and chief operating officer, said in a news release. “Utilizing energy produced from a renewable resource is a cornerstone of our comprehensive strategy of sustainable operations.” According to the release, the 8.3-megawatt solar array produces the equivalent of enough electricity to power 1,340 U.S. homes for one year and offset enough carbon to take more than 1,700 cars off the road. It is the largest solar array in the nation, according to Greentech Media, which researches the renewable-energy market. MGM Resorts has said that the solar array helped it stabilize electricity prices and reduce the amount of energy it pulled from the grid during times of high demand. “Companies like MGM Resorts are driving an evolution in America’s energy mix as they seek cleaner sources of power that provide more certainty over energy costs,” said Craig Cornelius, a senior vice president at NRG Energy. In addition to MGM Resorts, several other casino operators on the Strip are exploring alternative energy sources. Las Vegas Sands is the main financial backer of the Energy Choice Initiative, and Wynn Resorts plans to leave NV Energy’s service in the fall.

Sports books poised to take action on e-sports By j.d. morris Staff Writer
The idea that a Las Vegas casino could accept wagers on video game competitions might once have seemed unthinkable, but it has rapidly become a possibility. Already, the Strip has hosted thousands of people for major events dedicated to competitive video gaming, or e-sports, and one downtown casino has sought to become a hub for the activity. The action may soon spread to sports books, pending further direction from state regulators and policymakers. A.G. Burnett, chairman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board, said the discussion had boiled down to a simple question: Do e-sports competitions constitute “athletic events?” If so, sports books could start accepting wagers on them right away. If the answer is no, Burnett said, books could Fans watch the opening ceremony of the League of Legends World Championship still apply for regulatory permission Final between South Korea and China’s Royal Club in May 2014 in Paris.

e-sports betting should involve the same or less regulation than traditional forms of sports wagering. Grove said the casino industry was still adjusting to a lack of familiarity with competitive video games and all the opportunities they afforded. “There’s this sort of inherent uncertainty about it,” Grove said. “They’re not quite sure about this demographic yet, they’re not quite sure about esports yet, and they’re not quite sure, frankly, how they fit into that culture and how they fit into that demographic, and are a little leery of charging in full-steam with all of those questions unanswered.” A casino’s full embrace of e-sports could entail even more than hosting events and offering lines on matches. Grove’s report envisioned a hypothetical casino that integrated e-sports into its layout even more, with viewing parties at a bar, afterparties at the pool and the nightclub, e-sports themed slots on the casino floor and shops with “high-end gaming peripherals.” Live e-sports events would be a good fit for casinos because they would bring an attractive audience of potential customers, often for multiple days via “a buffet of formats and sizes,” the report said. Casinos, in turn, offer flexible spaces, good event infrastructure and easy access that should appeal to e-sports fans. But for all of its opportunities, esports — and gambling on it — also comes with its own unique challenges. One is that e-sports lacks an established, central agency that can enforce the rules (although the new World Esports Association is a step in that direction). “It is a valid concern, because without that central organization, you do have some fundamental questions about accountability, and you do have some fundamental questions about transparency,” Grove said. “When you’re talking about betting, those are two pieces that you really want to have on lockdown.” Burnett said that was certainly a factor that needed to be considered. “What we’re going to do is really look hard at whoever is offering the tournament or the championship, and assess whether it’s something our books should be able to take bets on or not,” he said. “While we may not allow bets on every single e-sports event, I can certainly think of a couple.”

By 2050, 83.7 million Americans will be 65 or older, compared with 43.1 million in 2012 Americans will be in that senior age group, compared with 43.1 million in 2012. Businesses need to adapt. Executives and entrepreneurs should already be asking: What do older consumers want? What do they not want? How can companies use those insights to serve customers better and improve bottom lines? “Since around 2011, every single day 10,000 Americans have turned 65 — and this amazing statistic will continue till 2030,” said David Tina, corporate broker and owner of Urban Nest Realty in Las Vegas. “With people living longer, more active lives, I see this as a trend that is just beginning. We may start seeing different segments of the over-50 population divide when the Gen Xers hit their 50s and their boomer parents are still going strong in a different demographic in their 70s.” As baby boomers have joined the over-50 age group, the employment picture has reflected the example they’re setting, said Glenda LippmanMonkarsh, CEO of Lippman Media in Las Vegas. “Many people are working longer than they used to. They have more expendable income as they age, versus years ago when a person automatically retired at age 65 and lived on Social Security.” Baby boomers want to enjoy the good life as long as they can, she added, “and want to be active, keeping up with the younger generation.” Tray Abney, director of government relations for the Reno, Sparks and Northern Nevada Chamber of Commerce, agrees that the swell of babyboomer consumers “has been accelerating over the past few years and will only continue to increase.” Chief among the business sectors benefiting from the growing population of older Americans is health care. “Americans over 50 now want and often need to extend their productive lives as long as possible,” said physician Eva Liang of the Center for Sight in Henderson. “Driven largely by this demographic, the field of regenerative medicine is growing quickly to
“One-size-fits-all marketing is no longer an option. Successful companies will segment the market by life stages, lifestyle choices, behavior, interests and needs.” — Jenna Gross, chief marketing officer of marketing firm Moving Targets meet the demand for services. With so many older Americans either in the workforce or wanting to lead very active lives well into retirement, nowhere has this trend been more evident than in ophthalmology. “Conventional wisdom is that Americans over 50 spend very conservatively, when in fact they spend more than any other age group,” Liang said. “Many thriving businesses today … are succeeding as the result of their recognition of Americans over 50 as a group not in decline, but attaining its most productive and creative years.” Lippman-Monkarsh notes that one of Lippman Media’s local clients, Desert Radiology, sees many patients in that group for diagnostic or interventional services that become more necessary as people age. She said baby boomers had the financial means to go “beyond minimal health care and are able and willing to invest in top diagnostic care to preserve their active lifestyles.” “Obviously, health care-related industries will grow rapidly,” said Urban Nest Realty’s Tina. “In my industry, we are seeing a significant impact from this demographic. Active-adult communities, 55-plus, are being constructed as quickly as possible to try to keep up with the high demand. And especially locally, where Las Vegas ranks third as the place for relocation for retirees, there isn’t enough inventory.” Industries and the businesses within them can cater to the older consumer by focusing on being accessible to older people “and ensuring they are treated with kindness and respect,” Lippman-Monkarsh said. “Every customer wants to know he is valued, but this is especially key when dealing
with an aging person who may feel that their dignity is being compromised in some way.” Using advertising and customer service to make it clear to older consumers that their patronage is valued, she added, “goes a long way to meeting someone’s immediate need of feeling accepted.” The biggest pitfall? Assuming that an older person is incapable of making his own decisions. “Get to know who this customer really is and bring them the things they want, not what a 25-year-old buyer thinks they want,” said consumer anthropologist Georganne Bender, a partner at the Kizer & Bender consulting firm in St. Charles, Ill. But it’s important to temper respect for their decision-making with awareness that some in this demographic don’t have the best grasp of new technologies employed by businesses. Sensitivity must go both ways. “Be sure to communicate clearly, and go over all the steps slowly,” said Patrick Casale, managing partner for the Multicare Group, an employeebenefits consulting firm in Las Vegas. He said those between age 50 and 59 were in the greatest earning years. “However,” he added, “this phenomenon … may come from the real issue in America — underemployment — which may cause people to work into their early 70s.” Marketing to this group, Abney said, would take “a much different approach than the current trend toward communicating with millennials.” Business owners “have to strive to touch them on a more personal level and not communicate only via an iPhone or tablet screen. ... This will be the last or next-to-last generation that will expect face-to-face, one-onone customer service.”
Abney also noted that this group had lived through a few recessions and was more likely to be value-conscious. But Jenna Gross, chief marketing officer of Pennsylvania marketing firm Moving Targets, points out that “the most dangerous (miscue) is to view baby boomers as a single group. The next mistake is to believe the notion that baby boomers are averse to trying new brands, not wanting to use technology, or not seeking new life experiences. None of these assumptions is substantiated by research.” Thus, the ways businesses communicate with older consumers must be carefully evaluated. “One-size-fits-all marketing is no longer an option,” Gross warned. “Successful companies will segment the market by life stages, lifestyle choices, behavior, interests and needs.” Gross said Facebook ads allowed businesses to tailor messaging and measure the success of campaigns at optimizing that messaging over time. Considerations need to extend to the simplest things, such as physical signage. “Around the age of 40, presbyopia kicks in and most of us require bifocals or reading glasses to see up close,” said Bender, the consumer anthropologist. “Can a customer read your instore signs? How about the menu, or your email blasts? Around the age of 63, we need three times the amount of light to see as clearly as we did in our 20s. We ask businesses when they last had their facilities relamped.” Many so-called “zoomers” (“baby boomers with zip,” defined as people in their 50s to 70s who want to remain socially and culturally engaged and active) “suffer from some form of arthritis,” Bender said. “Can they lift product off of the top or bottom shelves?” In short, business owners and executives need to put themselves in these older consumers’ place both emotionally and physically as much as possible. Sure, that goes for servicing consumers of every age, but this bracket is growing — and has real money to spend.
