out of New York reports that 41% of baby boomers (people ages 44-61) have visited social networks such as Facebook, MySpace or LinkedIn, and a full 61% have been to websites that offer streaming or downloadable video.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Over the three months prior to the survey of 11,600 consumers online, over 57% overall had visited social networking sites with baby boomers stopping an average of eight times on social networking sites\u00a0during that three month period.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also important to note that older social web users participate in the medium differently than younger users.\u00a0 While younger users typically interact through comments and online conversations, older users tend to use the medium more passively as information seekers rather than content creators.\u00a0 Different usage activities and trends undoubtedly call for different branding and marketing messages and initiatives via the social web.<\/p>\n<p>What was once considered to be a tool of a younger generation has been embraced by an older demographic,\u00a0and brands have yet to target that older demographic in social media marketing, let alone find the right way to speak to that audience through the medium.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>NPD found that &#8220;younger brands&#8221; such as Apple have leveraged the social web successfully, but &#8220;older brands&#8221; have yet to make the shift to digital media in order to communicate with consumers.\u00a0 That&#8217;s not to say all &#8220;older brands&#8221; are absent on the social web, but the vast majority are still missing the boat when it comes to the interactive web.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, NPD found that while companies within the technology, media and consumer goods industries are finding ways to market their brands through the social web, companies in other industries are either absent or not faring well.<\/p>\n<p>As marketers, we must be aware of the continually changing landscape of the social web and be able to adapt quickly to leverage opportunities.\u00a0 Learning that an older crowd is actively participating in social activities online (albeit in a different manner than the younger audience) is a critical piece of data.\u00a0 Companies can either embrace and exploit that data or ignore it.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll bet my money on the companies that embrace it.<\/p>\n<p>What about your company and brand?\u00a0 Have you conducted any brand campaigns via the social web targeted to an older audience?<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: <\/em><a
