be afraid only of standing still.

Today's seniors want to make sure that they are spending their money wisely and conscientiously.

80% of the wealth in Canada is held by people aged 50 years and older 
and seniors are more likely to give to charities than any other demographic!

This is a great issue to shine the spotlight on your non-profit organization and to gain awareness with this caring and supportive demographic. This is also a perfect advertising venue if you are in the legal or financial planning industry.

By Mathieu Powell

When I was a young boy, my paternal grandmother imbued my soul with a great love for words. She had all kinds of descriptive words and expressions – home made idioms – to describe people, places and situations. A writer of books for children and teens, Dorothy Powell loved to study people and their behaviours. Whenever someone perplexed her, she would label him as an “iya-dot”. Every week I visited her, she would greet me with “How’s my sniggle-fritz today?” or “Hello Tykum”.

But her real specialty was in the creation of fantastic new profanities that delighted my evil little six year old soul! Her words had a delightfully fun twist. Words like “gnush” escaped her lips when she cut her finger on some paper. My absolute favorite was “shigimidit” – a word that wasn’t abusive, abrasive or offensive, but that still did the trick of leaving someone feeling confused and mildly insulted.

With the economy slowly rising, many businesses are embracing advertising and marketing again as an essential tool to reach their demographics and audience.

But be pre-warned -  the game has changed and the stakes are even higher when it comes to making sure that your money spent is giving you the optimal return on investment. With people, especially seniors, turning to the online world for consumer information and product recommendation, it is no longer enough to rely solely on ONE medium of marketing. Cross-media promotions are the most effective way to connect with your clients.
