YEI Guide to the South African 60-plus consumer
Don’t forget to have a read of the fascinating YEI Guide to the SA 60-plus consumer. It makes for very interesting reading with results emanating from YEI members who responded to the YEI Survey Series last year. Since then, we keep talking about how important SA 60-plussers are, and slowly marketers are starting to take note. Do share this document far and wide!

A request from the YEI Editor
You know the drill by now! Engagement, engagement, engagement! The ticket to YEI’s sustainability.
We ask that you regularly engage with posts on the YEI website, newsletter, and Facebook page. Please comment, enquire, book, recommend, like, love, share with your friends and family – on all the articles, services, products and offers that YEI clients offer you.
One of the challenges that YEI faces is the Facebook algorithms which only allow a very small proportion of our YEI members to see the content.
So please, please – make it your mission to engage when you see the YEI newsletter or see a Facebook post. This will support YEI hugely and it takes a moment of your time, it doesn’t cost you anything and it’s quick and simple. Just one like or love or comment makes a huge difference to YEI. Tag your friends on posts that you think they may enjoy or will interest them. We know you love it, because you tell us – but you need to show you love it or like it!
Thank you all for your support over the years. And remember, comment, share, tag, like, love
