For many of us, our ideal audience are people over the age of forty-five, a mix of the Silent Generation, Boomers, and some Generation X. With changes in technology and society, even the ways and needs of these audiences have shifted. Along with that we have the needs, expectations, and desires of the upcoming generations to consider from Millenials, Gen Zs and Generation Alpha who have specific traits for us to be aware of in terms of how they want to communicate online, in marketing, instore and in interpersonal contact. This workshop walks you through the key traits you need to take into account how you can make your practice more welcoming to a range of generational needs, and how your practice may need to adjust as new generations come through.
