Australia's promising 50-plus market

Article Abstract:

A survey of 1,000 Australian households with people over the age of fifty, conducted by R.J. Donovan & Associates (a marketing consulting firm), found that the 50-plus population had average or better financial status, and more disposable income than the average Australian population as a whole. The 4.1 million Australians who comprise the 50-plus population represent a market of $10 to $15 billion annually, one of the most neglected markets in Australia. Other survey findings among the 50-plus population include: more than 85 percent watch television daily, national magazine and newspaper readership is low, only 45 percent had used a credit card in the previous three months, and 79 percent rated their financial standing as average to better than average.
