Go where those people are. Not sure hour industry or product but for those folks tv, radio and Facebook might be the route.

Direct mail isn’t dead. Neither is email, tv or radio. Neither are niche print publications that target this age group. From a digital standpoint, you can build audiences by purchasing lists or leads of people aged 60+ with specific interests, locations, etc. Also check out pew research for what these users are doing online - where they are spending their time, etc. There’s a lot of unknowns in your specific situation, but some of these should be a good start.

This demographic is more likely to respond to traditional marketing methods like television and radio ads. They're also more likely to be interested in products that offer health and wellness benefits. So, your marketing strategy should focus on highlighting the benefits of your product or service, and using traditional advertising methods to reach this audience.

Some tips to consider include using social media platforms that are popular with older users, such as Facebook and LinkedIn, focusing on content that is relevant to their interests, and using strong visuals to capture their attention.

I work for the largest direct mail marketing company in the US. We have a full suite of digital capabilities as well for a true omnichannel approach. If you’d like to jump on a call and chat I’m happy to learn more about your campaign goals + measurement. We’ve ran successful strategies to reach the older audiences before. Cheers!

They’re 60. Not dead. And the richest people in America at the moment. They’re living good and want to think of themselves as having some vitality. And yes, all traditional placements but they get just as excited by experiential that pulls the kids in.

CTR, contracts and department overhaul

our marketing dept is undergoing a complete overhaul. under old leadership, a $75k 12-mo contract was signed to a marketing group that handles our SEO, blog and everything Google Ads. All things I can and am in training to do. Current CTRs on G ads seem pitiful at no more than 0.75%. My meta ads coast around 4-6%. During this overhaul, would it be wise to not renew our contract, and negotiate for me to take over these roles and leverage a raise?

How do y’all deal with people at work who are stuck on stupid? Like they have no idea what they’re talking about and they REFUSE to learn. It’s like they have a god complex or something even with proof, maybe bc of their tenure at the company? Even if there’s valid data backing up that they’re wrong. Maybe it’s bc I’m a type 8 enneagram, but it frustrates the hell out of me!
So any advice would be lovely :)

DO YOU JUST ASSUME THE COST OF YOUR MARKETING ACTIVITIES? I am looking to allocate their cost in the marketing budget in a way that won't rely on several layers of assumptions. How do you reliably estimate the cost of different marketing activities (email, social, web, etc) when you don't have specific people or tools allocated to each function and costs are spread across many channels? Ads seems the easiest, but even then there's time and overheads... I've been looking for a reliable model.
