Boomers Buy…But Not Like THAT (GM101)

Feb 11, 2025

Boomers have all the money, but most marketers have no idea how to sell to them. If you’ve ever wondered why your “cutting-edge” ad campaigns are getting ghosted by the 55+ crowd, this episode is for you.

Sarah and Nate break down exactly why traditional marketing doesn’t work on Boomers—and what actually does. From why they still read long-form copy (yes, even the About Us page) to why a missing phone number on your site makes them assume you're running a scam, this episode is a hilarious yet practical guide to unlocking the $4.4 trillion Boomer buying power.

What You’ll Learn:

✔ Why Boomers don’t trust trendy marketing tactics ✔ How to write ads they actually read (hint: use less emojis) ✔ Why customer service is a non-negotiable dealbreaker ✔ The secret to making them think it was their idea to buy all along

Boomers don’t like being sold to, but they love making smart purchases. Tune in to learn how to make your brand Boomer-proof (and actually profitable).

🎯 Action Step: Audit your website and fix one of these mistakes today—your future Boomer customers will thank you.
