ACTIVE SENIORS magazine is fashioned to appeal to the interests of the over 55 age population. Businesses who advertise in ACTIVE SENIORS will reach prospects that have the desire and the finances to purchase their products and services. This is a massive opportunity.

Advertisers should be careful not to stereotype active agers. People aged 55 to 79 are generally happy and have the time and money to pursue their dreams. They enjoy trying new things, exploring new opportunities and are open to new technology. While they are loyal to traditional media, they also embrace the new media and social platforms.

Many of the over 55 live independently and productively with no thought of going back to “younger” lifestyles. They make their own decisions but appreciate guidance from trusted sources. To be successful selling to this group, give them something familiar. Give them the print experience they grew up with. Give them a copy of ACTIVE SENIORS.
