EXPO MARKETING OPPORTUNITY
Market your business to
Boomers & Seniors
attending the
Boomers & Beyond Health & Wellness Expo
at Mercy Hospital on October 3, 2016
9:00 a.m. - Noon
Upon entering the expo, participants will receive
goody bags stuffed with coupons from our
members
You may buy a coupon for only $20
Must be made in jpg format
Ad size - 3½" X 4½"
Payment and art work due by September 19th.
According to seniormag.com: "If your business
offers products or services that are of interest to
seniors, at least 70% of your customers should be
over 50 years old. If not, you are losing some of
the best paying and loyal customers there are."
"Companies that don't give a second thought to
the senior market are already handing over
significant business to those that do."
Want to create a coupon?:
Think imaginatively about how your offer will
attract the population aged 50+ ….
also consider our event is being held in October just prior to the holidays.
The sky is the limit in what will appeal to this age
demographic.
