As Their Market Grows, So Does Your Business.

Why Advertise With Us?

Today’s over 50 population is healthier, more active, and wealthier than any previous generation. With most of the same needs as their younger peers, plus with the unique needs that arise with age, people over 50 are perfect for targeted advertising!

It is easy to understand why advertisers are turning their sights away from younger consumers at a time when spending power is progressively more concentrated in the 50+ age group. Households 55-64 have more buying power per person than any other age group. And buying power has migrated from families with children to empty-nest, pre-retiree, and retired households.

Idaho has a proud, independent heritage and a rapidly growing population of individuals over 50. With the baby boom generation entering its senior years, this trend will continue well into the future.

You can seize this opportunity and take advantage of the undeniable demographic trends of the Senior Market by advertising with the Idaho Senior Independent, which has served the 50+ populations for more than a fourth of a century, in all corners of the state and beyond.
