I recently had the pleasure of producing a video for a company that specializes in fitness for seniors. We had a blast, and the video is going to be used to bring the program to more people, which is always exciting.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you kidding?!\u201d one of my friends said, \u201cSeniors don\u2019t go online.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know of any who even own computers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wrong, says Beulah Buzzer. (And you almost have to be over 50 to remember that phrase)<\/p>\n
As a matter of fact, You Tube is the fourth most visited destination for folks 65 and older. That\u2019s according to a new study by Neilsen. In 2009, there were almost 18 million senior surfers spending upwards of two hours a day online.<\/p>\n
Want more proof of the trend?\u00a0 Well, Google was the number one destination, followed by Windows Media Player at Number Two, Facebook was third, and You Tube fourth.<\/p>\n
Windows Media Player AND You Tube.\u00a0 I\u2019d say there is an audience out there.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s don\u2019t write these folks off just yet.\u00a0 Remember that when they were in their 20\u2019s, they were the ones buying Rolling Stones and Beatles records. So while they may not be scooping up the latest i-toys, the online world definitely does not intimidate them.<\/p>\n
And, by the way, Beulah was the name of the buzzer on the radio and TV show \u201cTruth Or Consequences\u201d.<\/p>\n
