AnnotationThe 'grey market' refers to the over 50s and their consumer-related activities. A mainly psychological approach is used to analyse evidence concerning older consumers' lifestyles, leisure and media-related activities, and consumption. The author also explores ways in which the over 50s are represented on the media, how their image is changing, how they respond to marketing and advertising messages, and whether they are influenced by such messages in their consumerism.
