What effect are the baby boomers having on the economy I hear you ask. Folks, in 2005, the economy IS the boomers!
Boomers represent the vast majority of the work force. There are 76 million of boomers in the US alone; they ARE the economy. (That is not an exaggeration; that is a statistical reality.) Baby Boomers represent only 28 percent of the US population – yet they represent 50 percent of the economy.

The nuance is lost on most.” - Clement Mok, Chief Creative Officer, Sapient Getting Past Fear Have you gotten tons of career advice, solicited and unsolicited? You nod when you hear it and think, "Yeah, I know this stuff." So, what else is new? But what have you done with the advice? Fess up. Probably very little. |
The Baby Boomers are obviously aging and because of this are willing to spend anything to stay young, healthy and full of vitality.
So keeping this in mind the NICHE market to take full advantage of (drum roll please) is the Wellness Industry.
According to research, the wellness industry is headed for over ONE TRILLION dollars by the year 2010. This wellness movement will surpass the dot com revolution.
Paul Zane Pilzer Economic Advisor to two presidential administrations and three-times New York Times best-selling author explains The Wellness Revolution.
“The boom in the Wellness Business is ready to explode in a way never before in our history. At over 12 billion dollars in the U.S.A. and Canada this is just the tip of an ever-growing iceberg.”
| MoneyMoz recommended article: Optimizing Strengths Yesterday, I received this encouraging note from a friend of mine who is a very successful entrepreneur: “Hi Robin, I just read your Eagle Attitude article and you are right on. I always make asset vs. liability calls. Recently one of my staff did considerable damage to our main computer and database by going to inappropriate places on the internet. Certainly grounds for firing, not too mention suing for damages. Instead we are reworking his job description to take advantage of some obvious talents. There are some penalties he is working through, but there should be some substantial benefit to the company long term. It's nice to read that a risky decision is sometimes the best decision.” |
Paul goes on to say … “there’s a great window of opportunity for network marketing companies to educate consumers about wellness products and services.”
“I see great opportunities coming for the network marketing industry because network marketing is clearly the best vehicle we have today, in the United States and around the world, to educate people about new products and services.”
“I see great opportunities for network marketing and network marketers because they’re the fastest way to get the new information out there.”

So to summarise, the seemingly untapped NICHE at this time is the WELLNESS industry and your market are the BABY BOOMERS.
To your Success!

Here are some basic tips to get the most out of the opportunity: - Whatever your business you'll need to have some kind of a display – don't just turn up on the day without thinking about this! Your table at the fundraising event will be your shop window. Make sure you have a bright, eye-catching display – and that's not just for products, it could simply be a display of leaflets about your business. Make Sure Affiliate Programs Pay for every Sale When joining affiliate programs there are many decisions you have to make. Unfortunately, few people query what kind of tracking software the program uses. To overlook this can prove costly, and means you may never be credited with 5% - 10% of your affiliate sales. A good affiliate program will use quality affiliate tracking software that is reliable and tracks all of your sales. You must make sure that they not only track online sales, but also sales by phone, fax and mail order. Many companies only track online, and this means you will lose between 5% - 10% of your sales. |
