Moschis, Euehun Lee, Anil Mathur, 1997:284) These older people are called mature consumers. Some terms often associated with this age group include:

Modern Americans are still motivated to spend on various products, whether they are useful and necessary or not, as the result of powerful mass advertising campaigns, widely broadcast through many forms of media. Children and young adults are usually the main targets for such campaigns.
