Targeting a Grey Audience in the Press

The Grey market now spends more than millennials. It has more worth than any other sector and yet is often ignored by the advertising elite. Not here at DJH. We embrace the older consumer and look at every option and opportunity to target them with the right message at the right time.

Here we have compiled data and ideas for using magazines including Profile data, Readership Profiles of top magazines and see the links to national press data.

Don’t be fooled into thinking the Grey audience is just one sector though. You won’t find the same reader in People’s Friend as you do in Radio Times or Saga. They have different interest and different priorities.

Consider other options too. TV – ITV daytime and Sky AdSmart are 2 specific options. Inserts whether in magazines, national press or in catalogues or product despatch. There are an increasing number of insert opportunities available. And of course if you have the data don’t discount using a catalogue to reach your customers regularly.

At DJH we plan, target and buy media across the national press, magazines, lists and broadcast media. We use our 30 years experience and industry data to back up our decisions and negotiation.
