Updated November 20^th, 2023.

In Marketing to Women Over 50, you will learn how this group of “super consumers” makes purchasing decisions.

You will also learn what never to do and what to do when marketing to women over 50.

Marketing to real women versus the 50+ stereotypes

While some fight aging with a vengeance, others give up and give in to aging. But many mature women accept and embrace who they are, what they want, and how they can contribute.

And because they have the spending power, they can live life on their terms. From choosing the advisors they hire to supporting their favorite charities, these women are passionate about life and the legacy their wealth allows them to make.

These women want to stay active, mentally sharp, and physically fit.

They are nothing like 50-year-olds were twenty years ago.

Their hormones and bodies are changing. They have more independence, money, and opportunity than any previous generation. And they live by different rules and are open to new adventures, relationships, and versions of self.

For many, their focus has turned inward to themselves.

I will show you the process for effectively identifying the affluent female demographic that you can cater to (and when to consider choosing a different target market).

Advisors need to understand that these women demand more. Additionally, they have the resources, including money, time, and opportunity, to get it.

And it even has a name – Middlescence.

The Middlescence Manifesto author Barbara Waxman defined this as a transitional period between ages 45 and 65 and shares, “It is one of the richest, most potential-filled times of life.”

And the best news is if you are willing to meet them where they are, it is the opportunity of a lifetime.

Stats of female spending and purchasing power

The U.S. Government Consumer Expenditure Survey and Nielson show that 50-plus women comprise the largest demographic with incomes exceeding $100,000.
Women over 50 are called “super consumers” because their spending power exceeds $15 trillion annually.
Older women are also more wealthy, healthy, and active than any previous generation.
The 50+ age group controls 95% of purchases made for the household and 80% of luxury travel purchases.
The data shows that 82% are open to new brands.
They want quality and convenience, and 75% will pay more to get it.
