Baby Boomers Impact on Home Based BusinessBaby boomers today are between 35 and 53 years old. They are in their peak earning years and the
oldest of them has reached the prime age for travel. Baby boomers, however, are significantly different travel consumers than their parents and experts expect them to maintain those differences as they age.
With the exception of
Your Travel Biz.com, known as
(YTB), travel industry organizations have failed to identify and heed baby boomers.
YTB's visionaries long ago recognized this enormous market potential and decided to take the 7 Trillion Dollar
Travel Industry by storm.
YTB, being visionaries, found itself confronted with another question: How can it accomplish this momentous task?
YTB decided to partner with the average hard working American, providing those who wanted to pursue the “American Dream” a realistic opportunity by becoming '
Travel Professionals'.
At one time, group travel seemed especially vulnerable. However,
YTB’s aggressive marketing approach gave a 'jump' to the escorted tour market and now it's alive and well. To help the average American fulfill his/her life long dream of financial independence,
YTB effectively targeted baby boomers as it’s primary market, a lucrative segment to say the least.
An independent marketing group interviewed a series of experts to gather insight into this enormous and potentially lucrative segment. Below you will learn the truths about baby boomers and why
YTB is on its way to unprecedented success.
Baby boomers consider
travel a necessity, not a luxury. This is excellent news for
YTB's REPs and
RTAs on two counts. First, the sheer number of baby boomers traveling will cause business to grow. Second, since travel is a necessity, baby boomers engage in it no matter how scarce their time or money. Their travel behavior, therefore, is less dependent on momentary conditions and circumstances.
Baby boomers
travel,
travel,
travel and continue to
travel. Baby boomers crisscross the globe as students, business professionals and tourists. The booming travel industry provides an endless flow of repeated business for Travel Professionals' RTAs.
Baby boomers, as experienced travelers,
travel to exotic destinations. The
travel cost baby boomers incur to travel to these destinations is not an issue. The adventure of travel supersedes the cost. This is why the
travel industry is the largest industry in the world. Been-there-done-that is one reason adventure travel appeals to baby boomers. Adventure
travel is a physically challenging outdoor activity that a price tag cannot be placed on, as baby boomers are interested in bettering themselves. Intellectually stimulating travel is their motto.
If you had to define Baby Boomers, the definition should be "Adult teenagers." Baby boomers will always try to act much younger than their chronological age. As a result, baby boomers still want to fulfill the dreams they had at 25 - even if their bodies are not always willing or able. Many may suggest that unrestricted
travel behavior of the baby boomers is directly related to something defined as “mid-life crisis.”
It's not surprising that adult teenagers put a premium on having a good time. Although fun, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder, there is no surprise that stimulation and the cultural/social experience make
travel fun for baby boomers. Part of the enjoyment of the experience is its uniqueness -that is part of “the rush."
Finally, baby boomers desire to have fun and make money, which is driving some career changers into the
travel industry. Easy gratification breeds a desire for still more and quicker rewards. Consequently, baby boomers don't wait to take trips. If they don't have the money, they just use plastic (Credit Cards). Baby boomers’ instant-gratification lifestyle means they don't
book travel as far in advance; when they are ready to book, they book NOW!

domain name. When you promote your website, your domain will be printed on your stationary and business card. Your email address will contain your
domain name. It's for these reasons you need to choose a good
domain name.
If you are not convinced your home based business will benefit from purchasing a domain name, here are 6 reasons:

Until now, you have been reading about domain names for your home based business. Domains are unique and should reflect the type of service you offer.
An alternative (or additional) domain to consider for your online home based business is a generic domain. While domains are unique to your home based business, generic domain names are a representative of entire industry, or services.
When you purchase a generic domain to build your website on, you are aligning your business as the leader of your industry or service. Generic domains are also a source of type-in traffic, or "direct navigation" traffic.
Research from September 2004 showed that more than 67% of daily global Internet users arrive at websites through "direct navigation" using their browser. Direct navigation is defined as typing a URL (domain name) into a browser address bar or using a bookmark.
Remember, if your home based business website has not yet been developed, you still need to register your domain as quickly as possible. Your registered domain will allow you to set up email addresses and is a vital step in the professional development of your online business.
To recap:
Building your website on a
generic domain gives the impression of being an industry or service leader.
Generic domains provide free targeted traffic from type-ins.
Even if you haven't developed your business website, it is a good idea to register your domain today.
You can use this tool -
Domain Search to check if your
domain is available. When you are happy with the domain you wish to register and it is available, it is important to register it as soon as possible. The longer you wait the chances of missing out increase.
