LOCAL MARKETING EXECS TO ADDRESS INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL ON ACTIVE AGING
Woodbridge, VA– [December 2, 2008]. Todd Harff, President of Creating Results (www.creatingresults.com), a strategic marketing agency, along with Erin Read Ruddick, Client Services Director, will address the International Council on Active Aging at the association’s annual conference in San Antonio, Texas on Thursday, December 4.
The two will present preliminary findings of the company’s extensive and proprietary survey on what types of images motivate Active Adults in advertising and which ones don’t. The final findings from the study will be released next month.
“With more than 88 million Americans over 50, it’s important to create designs that reinforce the marketing message and speak directly to the targeted mature consumer,” share Mr. Harff. “Verbal memory declines faster than visual, so images become even more important. Pick your pictures wisely to evoke memories or feelings as you honestly show the target market what they’ll get with your product or service.”
Creating Results has invested years in studying affluent consumers of the Boomer and Silent Generations, to better understand what urges them to leap into action. As a result, the company has won numerous national awards for their expertise in targeting and motivating these consumers. The MatureMarket Resource Center recently honored the firm with two National Mature Media Awards for their work for Westminster at Lake Ridge, a Continuing Care Retirement Community in Northern Virginia.
The findings from the study will be released in 2010.
