Gen X are the first generation that can really indulge in their nostalgia through their retro music and sitcoms. One way companies are doing this is by using old movies clips with their new modern products; the clips reach the nostalgia in this generation whilst cleverly promoting the new. Nostalgia is the one thing everyone can enjoy. 

"These latchkey kids were left alone for vast amounts of time, with their parents busy working, or simply taking a backseat approach to parenting - which was the way to do things back then. This turned them into the generation of parents who liked to hand out participation trophies, and never say “no” to their toddlers. A total 180 from their own upbringings. But, this built in need to rebel and nurture all at once makes wooing this audience a bit tricky. 

While many may forget or overlook Generation X, they aren’t going anywhere. They not only have massive spending power right now, and if if they seem a little elusive at times, smart marketing teams would do well to target them."

This is applied in almost every aspect of their lives, for example technology; millennials were raised on and baby boomers don't understand it but Gen X created it. They are grafting generation and no matter how bad they felt they always got up for work on a Monday.

"Boomers live in the past and have ransomed the future. Millennials fear the future and are ignorant of the past. Generation X acknowledges what has gone before, learns from it, and resolves to shape the future into something better. "

"Generation X is pushing back the envelope of old age, we can “adult” all you like, but we’re still kids at heart."]]> 2019-07-31 14:58:48 UTC https://padlet.com/40090913/n5qh79w35n3t/wish/372828390 40 over 40: The best Gen X instagrammers 40090913 https://padlet.com/40090913/n5qh79w35n3t/wish/372829360 The below link shows the type of customer audience Lovel Intimates is focusing on, the Gen X influencer.]]> 2019-07-31 15:08:19 UTC https://padlet.com/40090913/n5qh79w35n3t/wish/372829360 Breast Cancer Age Stat 40090913 https://padlet.com/40090913/n5qh79w35n3t/wish/373330759 2019-08-05 22:05:26 UTC https://padlet.com/40090913/n5qh79w35n3t/wish/373330759 Breast Cancer Age Statistics 40090913 https://padlet.com/40090913/n5qh79w35n3t/wish/373330760 The below diagram is from the "https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/health-professional/cancer-statistics/statistics-by-cancer-type/breast-cancer/incidence-invasive#heading-One" website and shows the age at which age women have developed breast cancer.
