Here's some recent research to more acquaint you with our membership base:
Internet Use - Seniors are logging on in record numbers. In 2000, almost 14 million seniors, or 17% of all Americans aged 55+ were active Internet users. By 2002, the number of seniors online will grow to 22million, accounting for 36% of all seniors. (According to eMarketer's recently released eRetail Report) 76% of seniors are online daily, compared to 68% of all online adults.
Online Shopping - During a recent holiday shopping period, the average online shopper spent a total of $629, while those shoppers aged 55+ spent $1,819, nearly 3 times the average (Source: Zona Research,Inc.) 42% of those users over 65 and 39% of those aged 50-64 have made online purchases (Source: Baruch Collete-Harris Poll 1997).
Online Life - Of those surveyed, 66% aged 65 or older said the Internet had made their lives more interesting, and 46% in the same age g roup said the Net had improved their relationships (Source: Activmedia,1998). This same study found that 40% of all U.S. adults over the age of 55 have a home computer, up from 29% in 1995. Of those, 70% surf the Web. Content areas preferred by Seniors - Weather 63%, Health& Medicine 40%, Investing 34%, Food & Cooking 29%.
Financial - The 50-plus population controls 77% of all financial assets in the U.S., and account for approximately 40% of consumer demand (Source: "Selling to Seniors" Monthly Report on Marketing, Jan.1999). In the areas of finance, this group represents 40 million credit card users, owning almost 50% of all credit cards in the U.S., with over 50% of discretionary spending power (2.5 times the average percapita) and with 80% of their personal wealth in financial institutions. In the housing market, over 79% of all 50-plus Americans own their own home, with 67% of these being mortgage-free. Who's got extradiscretionary money to spend? Age 15-24 $2,833, Age 25-34 $2,833, Age 35-44 $3,010, Age 45-54 $3,701, Age 55-64 $4,906 per year.
Health - This population segment dominates healthcare spending. The 50-plus group spends over $525 billion on healthcare, with that number expected to reach $1.1 trillion by the year 2007. They purchase74% of all prescription drugs and 51% of all over-the-counter drug purchases representing a $100 billion market. Per capita spending is approximately $467, more than double the average.
Seniors are aging well, living longer and healthier lives than any generation before them. Sixteen million seniors exercise at least three times per week. From 1987 to 1995, the number of 55-plus health club
members jumped 119%, and the number of 65-plus who joined health clubs rose a staggering 669%. Life expectancy has increase 30 years in the past century, extending the life of our members. We can expectsimilar results in the coming century. (American Academy of Anti-aging medicine, 2000)
Travel - It's no surprise that seniors like to travel and do it often. They represent 80% of all luxury travel purchased in the U.S., making up 65% of all cruise passengers and typically spending 74% more onvacations than the 18-49 year-old population segment.
The Over 50 Age Group Is The Most Affluent Internet Consumer Market.Suddenly Senior presently receives 243,000 of these individual visitors each month. Just like any other network, we make a wide variety of seniors oriented information and programs available to our audience.
The population contains an ever-increasing proportion of older adults. Their social interests and lifestyles are ever-broadening. These seniors are pouring on-line to create one of the most important consumergroups yet seen in this supposedly youth-oriented medium.
According to a Greenfield Online consumer research study at: http://beta.greenfield.com/pages/go_article.asp?aid=1196 an amazing 92 percent of wired seniors have window-shopped online and 78 percenthave made a purchase. This is significantly higher than the online shopping and buying by the total Internet population, according to tracking studies by the Westport-based company that pioneered onlinemarketing research.
Also, According to a Baruch College-Harris Poll commissioned by Business Week Magazine: Internet Users Over 50 Age Group Are The Most Likely To Buy Online.
The survey found that young people are more likely to use the Net for entertainment and socializing, while older folks spend most of their time on more serious matters. For example, 24% of 50-to-64-year-olds and 19% of those 65 and over say they use the Net often for investing purposes.
The over 50 age group represents 26% of the population, control nearly 75% of North America's personal wealth, spend 28% of all discretionary income, nearly double that of households headed by those whoare 34 years old or younger, and represents close to 50% of all consumer spending in North America.
The typical profile of the over 50 Internet user is a 57-year-old grandparent who owns a car, has a higher than average education and has yearly household income in excess of $60,000.
The fact that this age group purchases more than half of the luxury automobiles sold in North America indicates their immense buying power.

12/22Segmentation in seniors market
Marketers acknowledge that the over 50s market is not homogenous and it must
not be treated as one.
The senior market can be segmented on the criteria of:
1. Their Health i.e. The healthy hermits, Ailing out goers, Healthy Indulgers
and Frail reclusives.
2. Their stages in life i.e. when they become Empty Nesters or Grandparents OR on
two decisive factors: Children and Work.
There are more conventional segmentations, which are purely based on Age.
1. Young Old (55-64), Mature old (65-74), Old old (75+).
2. Prime lifers (50-65), Recently retireds (65-75) and 75+.3. The masters (50-59), The liberated (60-74), The peaceful (75-84), The
elderly (85+).
Age can be a determining criterion of segmentation that allows the other to be
organised.
Segmenting this market on the basis of age may be an over simplified approach andother factors, like income level and state of health , should be also taken into
account.

13/22Segmentation in seniors market
Traditionally, the elderly in India have stayed with their children. Butover the years, nuclear families have increasingly become the norm asyounger citizens are more likely today to move to other cities orcountries in pursuit of career opportunities.
A significant section of seniors today are independent, financially stable,
well-travelled, socially connected, and as a result have well-developedthoughts of how they want to spend time after retirement.
The 50-65 segment seem to be the more privileged among the largersegment of senior market. They spend 5% more than the nationalaverage and they are responsible for about 30% of consumer spending.
Thanks to their higher levels of home ownership and possession ofprivate or occupational pensions.
We have also come to know that on an average the mortgage and otherloans are paid by the age of 52 and the children leave home when thefather is 54 and the mother is 5, leaving their parents with the biggestdisposable income they have ever had in their lives.

14/22Life style of seniors in India and abroad
Besides their economic wealth, the consumers belonging in the 50-65 segment present rather active lifestyle that contradicts some ofthe most widespread misconceptions concerning this age.
There is an emerging fabulous 50s segment of affluent people
who find themselves with free time, good health and the ability tospend their money in quite a youthful way.
It is the kind of living that researchers characterise as a longvacation lifestyle.
With a lot of free time, the over 50s exercise activities that few
years ago somebody would not expect like working out and usingthe internet.
This is the age group which is most responsive to advertisementson televisions, radios, newspapers and magazines.
They give priority to purchases that make life more comfortable
such as house equipments, cars and leisure electronics. Some prefer to travel the world to satisfy their intellectual pursuit.

15/22Life style of seniors in India and abroad
With medical advancement, availability of health supplements, a new attitudetowards a healthy lifestyle, and wise use of their time many seniors are able to keepa productive work and family life even after the age of 60.
Others in fact engage in second careers or active learning, either pursuing a secondor third degree or enrolling in enrichment courses.
With more discretionary income than at any other life-stage, the elderly marketremains virtually untapped with under-valued consumption.
The bitter truth: Not the entire over 50s segment matches the lifestyles described here and certainly
not all of the 50+ consumers live rich and glamorous lives.
It is true that the needs of senior citizens for housing, food, medical and so on aredifferent. On the face of it, it can be seen as a specialized market segment. But in theabsence of strong health insurance and social security measures, this remains a verysmall segment.
Not many senior citizens can independently afford the kind of lifestyle that theyhave when they stay with their children.
In the Indian context primarily there is an added issue of social stigma. Forexample, the specialised homes for senior citizens are derisively called old-agehomes and are seen as being meant primarily for those discarded by theirfamilies.
