As more companies seek sales from multiple age groups, "ageless marketing" becomes critical to financial performance Companies that master its subtleties have realized amazing profits.

"Ageless Marketing introduces a new research approach in profiling this lucrative market. Companies that want to tap into this important segment will get insights into the characteristic values and motivations that trigger the New Customer Majority's spending choices Wolfe and Snyder describe the challenges in marketing to this group, the stages and differences in their life experiences, and the ways to make meaningful marketing overtures."
