Social Media and Seniors

Social Media and Seniors

We have written about the growing power of social media as a critical part of any organization’s branding strategy and digital marketing solution. Across all age groups, more and more people now turn to social media as a source of entertainment, product information, shopping advice and countless other applications. Social media channels should be a seamless part of any digital marketing solution or branding strategy, including those aimed specifically at seniors. The latest Pew Research Center report on Internet and Social Media Use reports that a majority of 55+ and senior adults use Facebook and YouTube daily or frequently.

But how do you leverage the power of social media for your business or practice?  Most businesses, professional practices and nonprofits are probably missing out on potential contacts, referrals and sales that can come from social media sources. It does not have to be that way!

At Axiom, we have been producing social media content for years, concentrating on Facebook and YouTube. As part of the OurSeniors.net Family of organizations, we use social media to engage 55+ and senior adults in activities and events that literally build a feeling of family. Often, we combine these two social media vehicles, embedding YouTube video presentations into Facebook content. You can see an example at “OurSeniors.net Brunch & Learn Feb 1, 2019,” a YouTube video that is integrated into the OurSeniors.net Facebook page.

Axiom specializes in digital marketing solutions and branding strategies that target the 55+ and senior markets. Let us show you how we can bring your business or service organization to the attention of Florida’s large and growing 55+ adult and senior population, the “Silver Consumers.” Social media platforms are an ever more important part of branding strategies, so turn to Axiom to reach this key market.
