Targeting Active Aging Consumers 

• The magazine will target  Active Aging consumers in the North West Valley of Phoenix.  
• Active Agers are comprised of both Baby Boomers and older people who are young at heart.
• ​The term Active Agers describes a lifestyle that will remain relevant for marketers guiding how to reach them and how to speak to them in a way that appreciates their preferences and aspirations over their age.
• They are active mentally, physically and socially. Yet they are largely ignored by marketers and are craving your attention.
• Baby boomers spent about $8.7 trillion in 2020 on goods and services. This is expected to increase to $15 trillion by 2030.
• And even though they are aging (the very youngest boomers are in their late 50s as of 2021) they continue to hold corporate and economic power; in the U.S., 50.3% of personal net worth belongs to boomers

Tips on Choosing your Next Magazine Advertising Position

​After you've carefully written your ad copy, developed your headline, chosen specific typography, selected your images and created the layout for your print ad, your work is not done. Choosing your ad placement in a magazine is the last key step to ensure you get the maximum impact from your ad.

Here are the best areas for an advertising in publications.

​Outside Back Cover (Most Coveted)
The back cover is the most coveted and expensive position in any magazine. And, when a magazine is placed (or tossed) on the table or couch, there is a 50/50 chance the back cover will be face up, giving the ad great exposure.
They are the most viewed pages of a magazine. Most of the time you will pay a premium rate for such positions but you will have placed your message in best possible outcome. 

Inside Back Cover (Best Last Impression)
Inside  back covers are the last impressions a magazine reader will have. Psychologists tell us that people are more likely to remember the first and last item when it comes to memory recall. 

Inside Front Cover (Best First Impression)
Obviously, those inside covers are really the first and last impressions a magazine reader will have.

​Opposite Table of Contents/Chamber Welcome (Best Inside Position) 
The Chamber welcome letter  and/or table of contents page is one the  most read items in a publication. Having your ad placed on opposite and to the right  of the Chamber Welcome page is sure get you ad noticed.   

Advertorial (Best Blend of Journalistic Content with Advertising)
The term advertorial refers to an article that is designed to look and read like objective journalistic content but is, in fact, a paid advertisement. The primary objective of an advertorial is to market a company's products, enhance its reputation, or promote its views even though it may contain useful information.  See tips below.

How To Write Your Advertorial

An advertorial is the name for an advertisement that's written or produced in the form of editorial content.

Generally, advertorials give author's credit to the advertiser and indicate that the post is paid for or sponsored.

How to write an Advertorial
​

• Ask a question (Are you struggling with XYZ)

 

• Inspire action or focus on emotions

 

• Avoid only talking about your company or product features

 

• Tell a story 

 

• Use data and charts to back-up your claims (use images) 

 

• Intertwine products and services subtly
