Marketing to the Ageing Consumer is a much-needed pioneer. Our population is ageing and it is common knowledge that older people have different needs and preferences to younger people. Yet, there is virtually no literature that documents the changes that are necessary to make the market environment more age-friendly. This book does exactly that. It is thorough, well-written and to the point, and a must-read for marketing executives and anyone interested in consumer economics.
