Session Description:

Each generation is influenced by events that occur at different times in their lives. Households at different stages of life have different needs and attitudes related to saving, spending, borrowing, and investing. Technology has influenced the younger generations in ways never seen before – yet older households are starting to adopt technology and alternative delivery channels as a means of convenience.

It is important to keep up with these trends so that you can anticipate your customers’ needs and create a sales and service model that appeals to each generation. As new channels are being developed and optimized financial institutions need to understand how consumers wish to interact with them.

Join us as we discuss:

  • What types of deposit and investment accounts are being utilized by Matures and are they different from the Gen Y and Gen X consumers?
  • What types of saving vehicles does each group tend to have
  • Who visits a traditional bank and who tends to bank online?
  • How frequently do each of these generational groups use their ATM or debit cards?
  • How do these age groups differ in their concern about the economy
  • How has each group responded to the recession in their purchase behavior, saving activities and credit usage?
  • How confident are people in their financial institutions?

These questions are tackled in a presentation based on the latest Nielsen Market Audit survey results in conjunction with a newly fielded attitudinal survey on consumer sentiments on the current economic climate. Updated quarterly, Market Audit® is the nation’s largest primary market research study regarding household financial behavior. It tracks market changes over time to help you identify trends and strategize for the changing marketplace. The attitudinal survey is an update to a study conducted in October of 2008 entitled: Claritas Consumer Sentiment Survey The Economy, Personal Finance & the Banking Industry.

This program is appropriate for senior financial executives with responsibility for Generational Marketing, Channel Marketing, Retail Banking, Market Research and Strategy Groups.
