3. Don’t Forget About “Old” Faithful.

Yes I said it, don’t forget about the Baby Boomers. They still make up just under half of the consumers of alcoholic beverages. They have been a loyal base and with the oldest boomers living another 14 – 15 years on average, there are still plenty of purchasing years ahead. So yes, you must continue to advertise in traditional media. Don’t throw those newspapers out just yet.
