The children of baby boomers, 72 million strong, are just now coming of age and evolving their own unique set of cohort values. In this talk, Dr. Schewe compares the values of boomer children with those of their baby boomer parents and with those of Generation X. The differences are dramatic. The impact of the terrorist strike on America is addressed along with the value changes that can be expected following the events of September 11, 2001.
For your field to be relevant and consumer driven, your daily work must reflect the fact that each generation or cohort of customers brings a very different set of ideas and expectations to the marketplace. In order to better meet the needs and interests of your older adult customers, as well as each new group of consumers in the future, you must utilize strategies to help modify and diversify the services you provide using “generational cohorts” to identify each group’s values. Dr. Charles Schewe will examine the “coming of age” nature, events, and experiences inherent in each generation which define their unique values, wants, and desires. Through his in-depth analysis of attitudes and behaviors of the emerging older consumer, participants will gain the needed approaches to successfully comprehend, target, and serve these customers – now and in the future.
Individuals are bound together by coming of age over a similar time period. These generational individuals are highly influenced by the external events experienced between the ages of 17 and 23. After projecting the demographic changes in population and spending power over the next decade, Dr. Schewe contrasts baby boomer values (indulgent individualism, youth, health, and questioning everything) to those of their parents who experienced the Great Depression and World War II (feeling achievement in life, trust, and security). With the use of fascinating examples from his consulting engagements, Dr. Schewe provides practical, how-to marketing actions that will keep each cohort buying again and again.
