Do You Know Who Your Consumers Are?



Seniors spend $1.7 trillion on goods and services annually\

The 50 Market

  • spends $1.7 trillion on goods and services annually
  • accounts for 50% of total consumer spending
  • owns 65% of the net worth of US households
  • totals one-third of the US population

Today, more and more businesses are recognizing that older adults are valued employees and customers in their community. The Senior-Friendly Businesses Program was created to acknowledge those businesses that have instituted and promoted best practices toward employment, independence and service to older adults.

Specifically, it seeks to recognize businesses that have not only met the legal compliances of the ADA, but have also demonstrated a clear and conscious effort to be Senior-Friendly. We are seeking only those businesses that go above and beyond!

  • Letter to Businesses
  • Senior-Friendly Business Brochure
  • Senior-Friendly Certification Questionnaire
  • Certification Request Form
  • Aging Sensitivity Brochure
