Should Your Content Respect Age Differences?


In MarketingProfs, copywriter Sid Smith asks, “Do all demographics respond well to lead nurturing?” They do, if you use the right content, Smith says.
  • Younger buyers have shorter attention spans than older buyers, who tend to delve more deeply into subjects. Videos and snippets work best for younger buyers.
  • Younger buyers are persuaded by statistics; older buyers by experience. Use lots of data to persuade younger buyers.
  • Corporate buyers respond to value propositions that address their need to be rightBe sure to "start with truth" and don't vary from it.  
  • Consumers respond to value propositions that address their need to be safe. They also place a lot of credence in social proof. Be sure to use numerous testimonials.
  • Buyers of every age aren't rational. Feelings always trump facts.
  • Buyers of every age will buy if they trust you; and all need to feel appreciated.
