Marketers should not be hesitant to target the mature market in Turkey, as there is much unlocked potential.
Manufacturers can benefit from keeping older product options available because older and mature consumers often remain attached to options that they have been using for a long time and may be less willing to try or buy new products.
Since results showed that affective and hedonic factors are important, managers must consider their messages directed on mature consumer emotions. Advertising efforts should emphasizing psychological age rather than the chronological age. When advertising is used, older adults should be properly characterized. Group conformity and age appropriateness in product or brand use should be emphasized.
Special promotions involving price reductions and advertising that stimulate word-of-mouth communication should be used for healthy indulgers, since the advice of other people their age and the advice of spouses and other relatives were found to be especially persuasive with this segment.
