Marketing to the Generations
Are you adapting your marketing to reach everyone from seniors to Generation Y? You should. Here's why and how. In the Jacksonville market, Generation Y buyers, who are in their 20s, typically buy inexpensive condos or town homes close to the beaches, shopping and clubs, according to Jan Shields, a 21-year sales associate with Watson Realty’s Atlantic Beach office. For Generation X buyers, who are in their 30s and 40s and usually raising families, finding the right suburban home with a good school system tends to be a top priority. High-income baby boomers, who are in their 50s and early 60s, are likely to snap up country club or waterfront homes, while seniors, who are age 65 and up may prefer secure condominiums or age-restricted communities.
