Marketing To Seniors
Want to know some things about marketing to seniors? Take it from me, I started marketing to seniors when I was nine years old, and have been raking in the dough ever since. It all started with that five-dollar tip from Grandma Betty next door when it was obvious that my lemonade stand profits were going sour. I decided then and there to adopt the strategy of marketing to seniors.

Soon my fertile little mind began booming with ideas for marketing to seniors. I had soon discovered the priceless combination of the phrases “Senior Discount” and “Donations Accepted.” I was always the kid who started marketing to seniors right away for the school fund-raiser, and made all the other kids absolutely green with envy when I won the Nintendo for making the most sales. My developing skills in marketing to seniors meant that I always ended up going to camp for free and pocketing the money Mom and Dad otherwise would have paid for Little League Baseball.

How did I do so well in marketing to seniors as a nine-year old? All there was to it was developing a few very important techniques. The first key in marketing to seniors is the “puppy dog” look. After a quick sales pitch, make a little sigh, look up at your customer with big tired eyes as if it’s been a long day, and fall absolutely silent. According to my humble experience in marketing to seniors, this works 70% of the time. Other techniques for effective marketing to seniors include the “I’m really hungry” look and the “I’m the sole supporter of my family” look, but I can’t give away too many of my secrets…

Unfortunately, as time passed, my profit in marketing to seniors soon began to dwindle. Then it stopped altogether. I found to my dismay that the “puppy dog” look begins to lose its effectiveness in marketing to seniors when you’re 16 years old. Not to mention when you’re 28. When I found myself making the “I’m the sole supporter of my family” look for real when marketing to seniors, I knew I had hit rock-bottom. That’s when I heard about Today’s Senior Magazine, and found that marketing to seniors can be a snap at any age. If only I had known about how easy Today’s Senior Magazine could have made marketing to seniors with that first lemonade stand!
