You\u2019re in the right place.<\/p>\n<p>As an entrepreneur, you have to keep on top of what\u2019s changing and how, in order to pivot your business when the need arises. But figuring out how to update your business can feel overwhelming \u2014 especially when you\u2019ve got to dig into demographic data to do so.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Demographics change slowly over time, and while these shifts can be largely predicted, their implications can be far-reaching.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Factors like the <a href=\"https:\/\/sgp.fas.org\/crs\/misc\/IF10408.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">growth rate of the economy<\/a>, individual income, investment funds, housing demands, assets, birth rates and death rates all directly impact demographics and can affect things like labor shortages, unemployment rates, and how much money people have on hand to buy products and services.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a lot to digest when you\u2019re hustling at your venture every day.

specific demographics that are currently shifting.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Age\"><\/span>Age<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Age is likely the most prominent demographic that\u2019s shifting under our feet, so to speak. Now that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.census.gov\/content\/dam\/Census\/library\/publications\/2020\/demo\/p25-1145.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">average life expectancy<\/a> in the United States is almost 80 years old, the population is trending older in general. This means that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/fact-tank\/2019\/06\/17\/worlds-population-is-projected-to-nearly-stop-growing-by-the-end-of-the-century\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">the median age by the year 2100 will be around 42<\/a>, globally. Older people continue to contribute to the workforce much longer as well.<\/p>\n<p>Millennials are currently the largest generation but are not having children at the same rate as previous generations, which means there isn\u2019t a \u201cbaby boom\u201d as traditionally expected. Lower birth rates also mean fewer people looking for items related to rearing children. Or, at the very least, they\u2019re looking for these items at a later age than in previous generations.<\/p>\n<p>Homeownership is also out of reach for many millennials, which means they aren\u2019t in the market for the related products and services typically targeted toward this age group. It\u2019s something to consider when researching how to update your business.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Income\"><\/span>Income<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Similarly, income continues to fluctuate and shift. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/social-trends\/2015\/12\/09\/the-american-middle-class-is-losing-ground\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">middle class<\/a> is shrinking, with fewer people falling into this income bracket. The share of income the middle class holds has been on a decline since 1970, too. This means those in the middle class have less money on hand for unnecessary purchases than those of the same age in the previous generation.<\/p>\n<p>Lower-priced commodity stores have increased in prevalence. And those in the higher income brackets have decreased \u2014 yet their share of the country\u2019s wealth has continued to rise. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/social-trends\/2020\/01\/09\/trends-in-income-and-wealth-inequality\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Since 1970<\/a>, the income of the super wealthy increased by 65% while median-household incomes have only increased by 49% nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>All this adds up to businesses that have marketed their products and services to middle-class consumers in the past finding themselves competing over an ever-shrinking pool of revenue. Meanwhile, those targeting upper-income individuals are more likely to prosper. Studying these demographics will help you determine how to update your business in the future.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"affected-businesses\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_businesses_are_most_affected_by_these_changing_demographics\"><\/span>What businesses are most affected by these changing demographics?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Since there is anticipated growth in both the younger demographics and those older than 65, businesses that cater to these customers within numerous retail categories likely will see an overall boost.<\/p>\n<p>A 2020 report from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/shoppers-shift-e-commerce-spending-towards-leisure-and-home-goods-in-the-run-up-to-black-friday-301180698.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Cision<\/a> shows an uptick in the following categories:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Leisure<\/li>\n<li>Healthcare<\/li>\n<li>Home Improvement<\/li>\n<li>Household Goods<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Of course, every business might encounter different factors that uniquely affect their specific outcomes. These are just general trends that are expected based on current birth and death rates, income projections, and workforce data.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"business-practice-tips\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_update_your_business_practices_to_meet_changing_demands\"><\/span>How to update your business practices to meet changing demands<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is possible to update your business practices to meet the changing demands of your target demographic. Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stay_abreast_of_demographic_trends\"><\/span>Stay abreast of demographic trends<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This might sound like a no-brainer, but you\u2019d be surprised by how often people skip this step. Reading reports about your industry and keeping abreast of broader economic trends is imperative if you want to be able to predict what will be happening in your industry next.<\/p>\n<p>This is especially important if you plan on making any major investments in the near future \u2014 such as hiring, technological innovation, etc.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>You need a handle on the pulse of your target demographic over the next five to 10 years to make informed business decisions today.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Pay careful attention to data regarding age, income, housing and investments. This can tell you a lot about the overall health of your demo\u2019s pocketbook and what sort of free spending they have available.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Implement_market_segmentation_and_analysis\"><\/span>Implement market segmentation and analysis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Too often, businesses get comfortable with their demographic status quo \u2014\u00a0and that can spell disaster for the long-haul as demographics shift. That\u2019s where market segmentation strategies can help.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_out_this_scenario_example\"><\/span>Check out this scenario example:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Let\u2019s say you own a photography business that markets solely to millennial parents. You wonder why you\u2019re having such a tough time growing your customer base. Then you do a little demographic research and learn that the number of people giving birth under the age of 28 has dropped considerably since 2008. And though the millennial age cohort has started having children, they are not expected to do so in the same numbers as the previous generation.<\/p>\n<p><em>This means a smaller market for those interested in products and services for babies and young children.<\/em><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Now_explore_the_solution\"><\/span>Now explore the solution:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Wondering how to update your business and continue growing in light of these changing demographics?

Pick apart your marketing strategy and ask yourself at each point the following questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Is this tactic still working for my business?\n<ul>\n<li>If yes, how do I know this?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Is the data I\u2019m basing my decisions on current (within the past two years)?\n<ul>\n<li>If not, where can I find up-to-date information?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>What assumptions am I making about my target audience?\n<ul>\n<li>What data do I have to back up these assumptions?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When reworking your marketing strategy, it\u2019s imperative you use data at every step of the way. If you don\u2019t have either solid analytics or recent industry reports that verify your decision-making, do your research to make sure your current strategies are suitable for the present moment.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_if_my_current_strategies_still_arent_working\"><\/span>What if my current strategies still aren\u2019t working?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Don\u2019t worry. Everything isn\u2019t lost. You will need to invest some time and perhaps money into retooling your strategies to speak directly to where your customer base is at now, that\u2019s all.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s refer to the example from earlier. If you sell a product that would typically be targeted toward young parents, perhaps you need to update your target age-range to mid-to-late thirties, as millennials are having children later than Gen X did.<\/p>\n<p>These demographic shifts affect so many industries that it\u2019s worth giving your current strategies at least a once-over to ensure they\u2019re still applicable.<\/p>\n<p><em>Related: <\/em><em>How to make data-driven decisions using Google marketing tools<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Embrace_technology\"><\/span>Embrace technology<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>Finally, when evaluating how to update your business to account for changing demographics, look to technology.
