Age-Friendly Business Recognition Programme - Seminar
Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown county has a higher than average proportion of people aged over 65, with 16% of the population (almost 35,000 people) in that age bracket.
Older people account for up to 50% of consumer spending. Are you doing everything you can to capture and retain this powerful customer base?
Your business should be Age-Friendly because:
- It is simple to achieve
- It is low cost or cost neutral
- It opens up new business for you
- It is the right thing to do!
What is involved?
In four simple steps you can become an Age-Friendly Business:
- Plan: Identify a member of staff to act as a champion for age friendliness and older customers
- Act: the champion attends our seminar and starts to develop ideas for your business
- Consult: Ask your older customers what they like, what could be improved
- Implement: Develop and implement 3 actions, receive your Charter and get recognised as an Age-Friendly Business
