At the Financial Forum 2005 - Patricia Lovett-Reid Senior Vice-President of TD Waterhouse is quoted saying...

"I think that the whole boomer generation is going to be huge. It’s a big deal right now."

"You have to think about this, they have tremendous purchasing power, they’ve got longevity, they’ve got EXPERIENCE and I want to make sure that they have got a PLAN that allows them to do what they want to do in retirement rather than living by someone else’s agenda."

"We have never seen this many people getting close to retirement or on the cusp of retirement at the same TIME; it is going to have a profound impact."

Dear potential WealthyBoomer.com and TheBoomer.com Sponsor:

If you want to connect with boomers...
SPONSOR THEBOOMER.COM AND WEALTHYBOOMER.COM

WHO IS THEBOOMER.COM AND WEALTHYBOOMER.COM?
TheBoomer.com sprang from the 1998 book, The Wealthy Boomer, followed by a magazine version which published for four issues in 2000 in the National Post. The website version began in 1999 with three discussion forums and continues today as both www.wealthyboomer.com and www.theboomer.com. The three forums are Wealth, Wisdom and Well-Being.

Boomers have logged over 1,000,000 messages from our membership base and that number continues to grow by the minute. At this point we are logging 1 page view or posting every 3 minutes. Boomers are talking about Wealth, Wisdom and Well-Being. The first of the boomers reaches age 65 in 2011 and we find that most are looking for advice, assistance and options for the future.

In the past five years, The Wealth discussion forum has grown to become one of the most respected independent sources of financial discussion in Canada. Also popular are the Wisdom forum, which focuses on politics and religion; and the Well-Being forum, which is devoted to health, relationships, humor and pop culture. TheBoomer.com community extends to all ten provinces of Canada and is now attracting global Internet traffic.

Starting at the Financial Forum in Toronto, TheBoomer.com discussion forums conducted interviews and surveys to find out what consumers really wanted from the financial industry. This is an opportunity to take the pulse of an often overwhelming and confusing financial marketplace.

WHY SPONSOR THEBOOMER.COM AND WEALTHYBOOMER.COM?
We offer a new interactive way to get your message across to your market. As part of the media plan for the WealthyBoomer.com and TheBoomer.com we are utilizing television, radio, Internet and print campaigns to reach the widest boomer demographic.

Baby boomers represent the biggest demographic in terms of household wealth and corporate leadership. As members of the "Sandwich Generation" boomers also make major decisions regarding their aging parents [health care, nursing homes, retirement homes, funeral arrangements etc.] and their own children [education, career guidance, marriage etc.] As a result, boomers are the key decision makers and influencers for a myriad of products and services aimed at all three audiences - virtually the entire buying public.
