Who Are The Baby Boomers?

The expansion of an irresistible Market

This is the definition of the baby boomers from Wikipedia.

A Baby boomer is someone who was born in a period of increased birth rates, or Baby boom, and the term is especially applied to those born during the post-World War II period of increased birth rates. In the US, the term is iconic and more correctly capitalized as Baby Boomers.

These folk are significant in the formation of a new economy of supply in demand. Never in the history of man, has the baby boomers generation sparked such a huge market gap to be filled.

We all heard of first mover's advantage, where the pioneer of a new market has considerable advantages . If successful, his market dominance gives him a considerable advantage compared to the others who come in later and try to differentiate themselves either on price or service rather than creativity. Similarly, market dominance allows one to set the barriers of entry or the standard of quality.

Remember health club marketing is more than only direct mail and lead boxes. You want to go after the right buyers for your fitness club and market to them. Gymnasiums that try to be everything to everybody end up being nobodies to everyone. Fitness marketing is health club marketing companies main goal.

Now, think back :

Back to the example of Bill Gates :

If you were to possess a huge portion of Microsoft shares during its inception, where would you be today? Of course not each one of us will be in a position to proudly proclaim that I was there when it started. Most people failed to identify the trend and come in when it is too late!

The same would also apply to big name corporations like Yahoo! And Google.

It is no point trying to get into a saturated market. There'll be too much barriers of entries and competitive forces in the market. What we need to do is identify the wants of the market BEFORE it saturates or even better, before it starts.

We are able to set the trend instead of following one!

The baby boomers are the main key to this role due to their buying power as well as their sheer numbers. Big numbers will be the key because the first movers, who position themselves strategically, will sell product after product to a hungry market and have his or her finance position secured for years.

In the next chapter, we will explore where these baby boomers come from and the way to forecast their demands from a historical perspective.


When Did It Happen?

The baby boomers applied to people who are born after the Second World War and before the Vietnam War, thus possibly comprising more than one generation.

the majority ruminate that year will be around 1946 to 1964 but the exact year is tough to establish because it might alter from place to place.

These boomers inside that time frame is significant to predicting the market demand and the timing as well .

Gymnasiums that try to be everything to everybody end up being nobodies to everybody. Fitness promoting is health club marketing companies main goal.

Now, think back :

We are estimating that there are approximately 76 million Yank children born between 1945 and 1964. Boomers account for approximately 39 percent of northern Americans over the age of 18 and twenty-nine % of the total population. They can single Handel establish tomorrow's hottest products which suggests they can start and destroy trends.

As an example, the baby boomers are also responsible for starting and finishing the property boom.

When the boomers were all grown up, they needed houses to live in. Developments went into full swing.

Steve Gillon has advised in his analysis is this :

The one thing that sets the baby boomers apart from other generational groups is the proven fact that'almost from the time they were conceived, Boomers were dissected, researched, and pitched to by modern marketers, who buttressed a sense of generational distinctiveness.

With such large market potential and purchasing power, we can use history to predict and teach us what the newest trend is due to these baby boomers.

The baby boomers were the first generation of Earth to be raised on pop culture and TV. The culture at that time is more hedonistic in comparison to the past.

Music that drove their fogeys crazy became their purpose in life. This explains the remarkable fame of legends like Elvis and The Beatles ( Who in reality till today, remains more popular than most one-hit wonder pop groups or modern icons ) enormous names like Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Led Zeppelin defined the voice of that generation.

In other words, they set the standard to what's 'hot' and what's not!

The boomers were living in a time where Music appeared to have a more influential power compared to weapons of mass elimination. In the past, people would think you were silly if you worn torn clothing or inverted garments. Folks at that time were not as hard up as today if they were to miss the most recent picture or driving the latest vehicle in the town.

in other words, purchasing power and market demand were not as trend delicate in the past compared as today.

If I were to target the boomer market, what would I be focusing on? Cosmetics and beauty appear to be making a fortune today. A slimming ad would cost many thousands of greenbacks and newspapers and mags publish this on a DAILY basis.

Gymnasiums and fitness gear are also a hot market. You would not imagine somebody in the 19th century invent something like a gym. The people there would be too busy plowing fields or working in a factory ( and they might get all the exercise they need ). The boomers have a relative easier life and are able to focus more on those pleasures above.

Note :
Remember health club marketing is more than just direct mail and lead boxes. You must go after the right shoppers for your well-being club and market to them. Gyms that try to be everything to everybody end up being nobodies to everybody. Fitness marketing is health club marketing companies main goal.
