We surveyed 400+ older adults (age 64 and older) nationwide about their reactions

and preferences when it comes to photography. Via an online survey, we showed them

16 photos depicting Medicare-aged consumers engaged in a variety of activities.

THEY SAY A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS, BUT HOW CAN MEDICARE MARKETERS USE PHOTOS TO MAKE THEIR ADS MORE EFFECTIVE AND APPEALING?

WE ALSO ANALYZED THE OVERALL SCORES AND NOTICED A WIDE RANGE OF OPINIONS ON A FEW IMAGES

}  Interesting note on “Woman with Dog”: Several respondents

thought it implied being a widow or single, which they related to

“Now it’s just me and my pets.”

BOTH “GRANDMA WITH BABY” AND “WOMAN WITH DOG” WERE

POPULAR,

BUT WERE CLEARLY POLARIZING – THEY HAD THE WIDEST RANGE OF LIKES/DISLIKES OF ANY OF THE PHOTOS.

ADVICE AND IMPLICATIONS FOR MARKETERS:

10

}  Consider developing and leveraging demographic/psychographic data about your own customers to identify activities and imagery that will attract like-minded consumers.

}  Look for ways to incorporate healthy, natural imagery and social settings with friends (which are potentially more broadly appealing than photos with grandkids or pets).

}  Try to avoid activities that do not have universal appeal. }  Try to avoid over-the-top or unrealistic hobbies.
