Summary/Abstract: The forecasts about the age structure of Polish society clearly indicate that Poland is soon going to be a country of old people (unless the trend is reversed by the wave of immigrants who will soon start making up for the shortages in the EU labor market).This demographic trend is bound to result in a number of changes at the state, family and individual levels. It is perceived as a challenge for different areas of socio-economic life: economic and social policies as well as companies and organizations whose offer is addressed to senior citizens. The subject of this paper is senior citizens as a consumer group and, first and foremost, as the recipients of advertising. The paper illustrates demographic trends, economic status and changes that occur in the lifestyle and purchasing behavior of Polish senior citizens. Against this backdrop the conclusions from the analysis of Polish advertisements involving senior citizens and targeted at this segment and a broader range of consumers are presented.
