Tom Peters has a great post
on the power of what he calls
the boomers and the geezers.

A big eye opener as to
why you should pay attention to this market?

“The average American buys 13 cars
in the course of a lifetime.
She-he buys seven of the thirteen
after the age of 50.”

You read that right,
7 cars after the age of 50.

He also makes a good point
that selling to this market
is easier
if you have staff IN this market.

    Regarding the Boomer & Geezer market wouldn’t it be nice if all of us including myself concentrated more on creative/productive activities like working on social value based businesses vis-a-vis same old, same old tired looking consumption activities like striving to buy 13 cars in the course of a lifetime.
