Key Shift: Changing Life Stage Priorities

Boomers are embracing their later years with purpose, wellness, and connection in mind. But their experiences vary widely: some are enjoying newfound freedom, while others are still juggling responsibilities.

What’s Changing?

Health Is a Key Focus – Boomers are experiencing more age-related health concerns, but they’re also taking more proactive steps to stay well, outpacing younger generations in practicing a multitude of wellness habits, from hydration to socialization.

Family Is a Priority – Boomers’ families are growing, and they’re embracing their roles as grandparents. Abundant leisure time is channeled towards staying active with the family.

Fun and Leisure Are Embraced – Retirement doesn’t mean slowing down. Boomers are hiking, traveling, and trying new hobbies. They’re pushing the boundaries of what aging looks like.

How Brands Can Respond

  • Position health & wellness as an enabler of independence – From fitness to nutrition, emphasize how your brand can help Boomers maintain an active, fulfilling life.
  • Lean into family storytelling – Whether it’s grandparenthood or multigenerational living, brands that celebrate these dynamics will build deeper emotional connections.
  • Challenge outdated stereotypes of retirement – Not all Boomers are kicking back in rocking chairs. Show them traveling, learning, and staying engaged in new ways.
