The Net Generation: Seniors and Boomers
May 2000

Marketers believed that Generation Y -- 18- to 24-year olds -- were the best target for ad dollars because of their ability to easily adopt new technologies and their frequent Internet surfing habits. Not so, says a new report by Media Metrix: 45- to 64-year-olds are the largest untapped audience for online marketers. Analysis shows that 45- to 64-year-olds now make up 20% of total online users, while 18- to 24-year-olds account for 17.5%. On average, baby boomers and seniors also view 178.7 more Web pages and spend 6.3 more days per month logged on to the Internet than their college-aged equivalents. Older Americans also have more credit cards, are more likely to buy electronics, and are more often belong to a frequent-flier program.

Banners aren't the best bet.

By analyzing activity over the past 12 months, we have come to the same conclusion that many online marketers have.

SnowBirds vastly prefer contextual, content driven advertising over banner ads.

Leads generated through Snowbird.Net are highly qualified and effective.

Contextual Advertising

Although it sounds obvious, in a literate environment like the Internet, words and text are considered far more relevant than pictures. The Click Through Rate (CTR) for text links is almost 4 times higher than on banner links.

Where the links are truly contextual, e.g. inside an advertorial or editorial advertisement, the CTR is 10 times higher than that of banners.

Advertising on Snowbird.Net is content driven.

An 'active listing' purchased on Snowbird.Net  is, in essence, an advertorial for your company. It contains a high degree of content about your company and the products you sell, and includes a 'call to action' in the form of generating leads and or feedback. To see a sample, click here.

Advertising on Snowbird.Net is interactive.

An active listing is also interactive with the rest of Snowbird.Net. It features in our internal search engine (so that someone looking for 'your product' in 'your town' can locate your advertorial)

Active listings are also featured prominently and in context elsewhere on the site. Not least of which is the 'shop the marketplace' section that allows SnowBirds to obtain multiple quotes with a few clicks.

Advertising on Snowbird.Net has a measurable Return On Investment (ROI)

Active listings generate a measurable result - sales leads, requests for information and general feedback.

Pricing

Pricing for an active listing is *currently $2080, payable annually in advance. This includes all set up, creative and full hosting for a year.

We feel investing the equivalent of $40 a week is exceptional value. The listing need only generate a few leads in that time to pay for itself. 

*Please note: This price is subject to change, and has increased, on a section by section basis, to reflect the increase in traffic and the increased level of development of the relevant section. Early adopters, lock in the lower rate for the full year.
