Brands are launching initiatives to connect seniors during the pandemic
Trend - Brands are launching products and services aimed at keeping seniors connected and engaged amid the COVID-19 restrictions. These range from playful QSR entertainment to retiree-specific radio station recommendations.
Insight - The COVID-19 pandemic has been a very difficult lifestyle adjustment for people of all ages, and older generations have the added risk of being more likely to be affected by the virus. Although economies around the world are reopening, many social distancing restrictions are still in place and are causing a prolonged period of isolation for this demographic. Countering the collective psychological impact of the ongoing pandemic is just as important as containing the virus itself.
