Marketing to Baby Boomers - What Should You Know?

Marketing to baby boomers is like marketing to ANY demographic, you MUST know the characteristics of your market, how they think, what is important to them.

So, if you are marketing to baby boomers knowing the following things WILL prove helpful.

1 - Baby boomers like to remember the past.

• Their music - Rolling Stones, Woodstock, Sock Hops
  Their games - Jump rope, hopscotch, shooting marbles

2 - Baby boomers do NOT like to think of themselves as aging.

• They HATE getting an AARP registration card in the mail, senior coffee at McDonald's
  They want to connect with youthful things, sports, outdoor adventures, ipods

3 - Baby boomers care LESS about STUFF and MORE about RELATIONSHIPS

• Most already HAVE the big house, the car, the boat

4 - Baby boomers CRAVE community

• They created the Harley and car clubs
  They love to identify with their communities

Marketing to baby boomers is COMPLETELY different from marketing to the generation just before them.

The previous generation came up in the depression, had very little, and, as a result, developed a scarcity mentality. Baby boomers, on the other hand, have enjoyed post war prosperity and have a prosperity mindset.

As a baby boomer myself I can attest to the above.

If you are marketing to baby boomers, and I don't know WHY you would NOT since they represent the largest segment of the world's population, you should KNOW your market.

You can see an example of this in my own marketing at www.Before1965.com

Home Business - Opportunity, I Am SICK of Home Business Opportunites!

I'm SICK & TIRED of it ! ! !

I am SICK of being bombarded with home business opportunities . . . and I would be willing to bet my last buck that you are too! Actually, that would really be no bet at all because I KNOW you are.

Now, here's the really ironic thing about that. You know that your inbox fills up with one opportunity after another, and what do you do? You hit the DELETE button, without a thought.

YET, how are YOU marketing YOUR business? Do you send out emails about your business opportunity? Are you posting ads at DirectMatches, Craigslist, or some other ad location with an ad that offers a great opportunity to build financial freedom?

Do you not GET IT? The reason you're getting no results is because NO ONE wants to hear about your business opportunity. They all do the same thing you do, delete it or pass it over without a thought!

So, what do you do then? Promote your product, instead? Not quite.

"solution to their problems"

The KEY to effective marketing is understanding what people WANT. They do NOT want your business opportunity. They MAY not want your product. What they DO want is a solution to their problems!

If you can identify the problem(s) that your product or service can solve, can demonstrate how your product solves the problem, and can find people with that problem, you have taken a MAJOR step forward in understanding effective marketing.

I invite you to take a look at the video below to see what you can accomplish when you understand marketing and develop the skill set to build a successful business, whatever type of business you choose to build.

Network Marketing - What Does It Take To Succeed?

Before you watch the video below let me say this.

No matter how much you know, NEVER cease to be a student. That is an important SECRET to SUCCESS in building a business.

After spending more than 30 years building successful businesses I have come to learn the truth of that statement.

The title mentions 'Network Marketing'. The reason I mention Network Marketing so often is because I've come to believe that it represents the very best vehicle for building a successful home business.

The reason is simple. The cost to get started is typically MUCH less than starting a traditional business. However, if you don't know the fundamentals of business building you will definitely join the 98% who FAIL.

Don't assume it must be a SCAM just because you couldn't make it work. It's not as likely a scam as it is YOU and your skill set!

Did you know that network marketing had that high a failure rate, 98%? You very well may be a part of that statistic. You may have tried a number of MLMs and never made a dime. Oh well, at least you have plenty of company, if that's any consolation. :-)

I bet you wondered why others were making it and you just could not seem to make it work, no matter WHAT you tried.

THAT my friend, is where the need for continuing to be a student comes in. You see, as we move forward through time things change. What worked in the past may no longer work.

That is certainly true with network marketing. Methods that used to be VERY effective no longer work at all because of changes that have taken place in our culture and because of things like the internet, etc.

In building successful businesses for more than 30 years I have constantly tried to stay current with the times and methods. You should do the same.

If you are sick and tired of STRUGGLING to build your home business and you're ready to finally quit just TALKING about leave that enslaving 9-5 job, watch the video below and let a veteran business builder help you finally succeed.

Home Business and Empty Boxes

Empty boxes? Odd sounding title?

OK, I'll admit I most often think in pictures. Here's the picture in my mind. A grown-up tells a child "do this and this and this and you can have what's in this box. It'll make you very happy and successful." The grown-up then points to a beautifully wrapped box with a giant bow on it.

So the child, in anticipation of what he/she is going to get in the box, does 'this and this and this'. Now, with eager anticipation, it's time to open the box! What's in the box? The child eagerly rips through the wrapping paper and tears back the flaps on the box to find . . . The box is EMPTY.

Can you, for a moment, picture the disappointment to that child? He/she is anticipating a wonderful gift and, instead, has an empty box?

But, what does that, an empty box, have to do with a home business?

How often have YOU had that experience? You've read the promise. You heard what you were told. Buy this, do this, and you will achieve success, happiness. You bought into it. You did what you were told. But in the end what you had was . . . an empty box. What you thought was going to happen never happened, it never materialized.

Have you joined an MLM, expecting results that were going to make you successful and happy? Were you told all you have to do is find three who will find three ONLY to find that you've opened an empty box?

If you're tired of opening empty boxes I invite you to request a free report that will NOT disappoint. Just provide your info in the box below and I will get it to you right away.

The Recession - Could It Be Opportunity Calling?

Could this downturn in the economy actually represent an OPPORTUNITY for you? If you are among the millions who have lost their job, could this be YOUR opportunity?

Let me explain. I would venture to say that at least 90% of Americans would PREFER to be their own boss, work from home, have the freedom to work when they want, where they want. Many, in fact, have gotten involved in some sort of home-based business in the part-time with the hopes of one day having the ability to do so full-time.

The problem is that for MOST the fear of failure has caused them to refrain from taking that leap to working for self and saying "goodbye" to their employer. However, the current environment has FORCED that decision on many, thus thrusting a HUGE opportunity in front of them.

You may not consider your loss of employment to be a positive experience. But it very well may be the best thing that has ever happened for you and your family. Personally, I consider you to be one of the fortunate ones because you now have an opportunity to build security into your family's life.

Recently Bill Gates and Warren Buffet were interviewed about their take on the economy and what a person needs to do in order to cope in this environment. Both of them felt that it is the most important time of all to focus on personal improvement. Gates said the most important thing now is education because knowledge truly IS power. Buffet said it's an important time to invest in ourselves.

Network Marketing Success

How many of you have tried network marketing and lost your shirt? Worse yet, lost family and friends? That's because most are never taught the right way to do it. You should NEVER build a business that is dependent on sales to your warm market, people you know.

The fact is, network marketing is a very viable, ethical business model. However, if you're going to succeed at it you MUST know the RIGHT way to do it.

Home Business - Focus on Family

OK. I know that I was next to discuss how to leverage new technology marketing tools to get the most good out of them but I just had to digress this morning.

You will recall that a few months ago I discussed the importance of priorities in life. If you are to be truly successful in building your home business you need to first build a good home. I'm not talking about your house I'm talking about your HOME, your family life. If there are tensions in the home it will provide only distractions that prevent the kind of focus that is needed to build your business.

Don't get me wrong. You do not build your family life for the sake of your business. Instead, your business should be for the sake of your family. Family should be your priority, not business.

If you've read the "About Me" section of this blog you know that Carla and I have enjoyed a SUPER 30 years together. It continues to amaze me when I reflect on the fact that we were practically kids when we married 30 years ago, she was 18 I was 19, and we had only first met 3 months prior to our wedding. But here we are and everyday gets better than the last.

One HUGE reason for this is that our relationship has always been a high priority. One thing we have made a point of doing for the past few years is to have at least one evening during the week when we are focused only on one another. No TV. No going out. Just sit together at home and chat.

Sometimes we build a fire in the fireplace, mix us a drink, and sit watching the fire while we chat. On most weeks we will sit across from one another in the jacuzzi and chat. I know this may seem to be a bit personal, and I know it certainly doesn't sound like a 'guy thing' to discuss, but I want you to understand that it is critical that you maintain your priorities. Keep the focus on your family, where it should be.

OK, I promise I AM going to get back to explaining how to leverage new technologies for the greatest good next time.

Home Business Success - This Single Skill Will Give You an UNFAIR Advantage

The first, and perhaps the greatest, challenge for many in building a home business is FINDING prospects, those who want what you have. Here is where one of the most important skills you need to develop comes into play. In fact, this one single skill set can make or break your business. But here's the great thing about this particular skill set. If you develop THIS skill you can successfully build ANY business.

Having THIS skill you hold the key to the vault in your hand. In fact, if you become highly skilled at this you will actually have an UNFAIR advantage over others. So long as you are willing to put it to use and follow-up it will serve you well, VERY well. This skill is NOT the ability to sell. After all, you can't really test out your sales skills until you have a prospect to communicate with. Remember, you've got to FIRST find your prospect, someone who wants what you have.

OK, the skill I'm talking about is MARKETING. If you learn how to become highly skilled at marketing you will literally have people lining up to join your business. This will be especially true if you learn to leverage new marketing technologies. Consider the internet, for example. Who would EVER argue that this technology has not revolutionized marketing in today's world.

One technology I have found to be especially effective is voice broadcasting. This technology has been used for a number of years by politicians and the heavy hitters in network marketing. However, for the average business builder the price for this technology was so high as to be prohibitive.

Today, because of the ability to use an internet platform, this technology has become affordable to almost anyone who is serious about building their business. The voice broadcasting system that I personally use is, in my opinion, the finest one available. Not only is it of the highest quality it is also the most reasonably priced. You can learn more about the system I use by going to www.Ontrack2Succeed.com

Stay tuned as I will later discuss some ways to put these new technologies to work in finding your prospects and how they can help you build your home business. Remember though, no matter how good the technology is, it is only a tool. You need to know how to USE the tools if they are ever to be of real value to you. So we will discuss that later . . .
