Advertisers wake up to the nifty fifties

Article Abstract:

UK advertising agencies are beginning to recognize that the over-50s do not necessarily regard themselves as old. Many over-50s are willing to be adventurous, and many have a lot of spare time and a high disposable income. Advertisers are now categorizing the over-50s more carefully, differentiating between those who are more conservative than younger people and those who are adventurous.
