Summary/Abstract: Widespread stereotyping of elderly people results in the elimination of this group in today’s consumer marketing. Nowadays consumers-seniors are a new generation and different from the deeply entrenched myths. Today, they belong to the group of active consumers, broadly interested in what markets offer. This newly shaped group requires from marketers firstly, to notice this segment and secondly, adapt marketing actions to the needs of this market segment especially in product policy, marketing communication, branding and marketing system.
