🚀 E-commerce & Baby Boomers: Unlocking the Potential of the 60+ Market 👵👴 As e-commerce continues to evolve, a key demographic is often overlooked: Baby Boomers. With Meta's recent decision to phase out third-party filters on Instagram, we’re seeing a broader shift toward more authentic, honest, and humanized content that appeals to the growing demand for transparency. But what does this mean for your e-commerce business? 📈 Lo-fi content is on the rise — less polished, more real, and far more engaging. Consumers of 2025 and beyond are seeking connections that feel genuine. The shift away from hyper-edited, “perfect” content opens up huge opportunities to engage the Baby Boomer market, a group that values trust and authenticity. Key takeaways: 🔹 Simplify your content: Embrace the beauty of imperfection with more natural and relatable posts.  🔹 Be real: Authenticity builds loyalty. Let your audience see the real you or your brand’s story.  🔹 Adapt your UX: Minimalism and clean design are not just trends—they are the future of an enjoyable user experience.  🔹 Listen to your audience: Tailor your strategy to their needs, and you’ll create a community of loyal, engaged followers. Baby Boomers represent a growing, engaged consumer base with strong purchasing power. Now is the time to tailor your approach and make e-commerce a space where they feel seen and valued. *Inspired by insights from Gustavo Chapchap. #Ecommerce #BabyBoomers #DigitalMarketing #ContentStrategy #UXDesign #Authenticity #LoFi #SocialMediaMarketing E-Commerce Brasil#CBHub #IgorPipolo #CrossBorder #Ecommerce #CrossBorderLogistics Igor Pipolo Raffaella Calfat https://lnkd.in/eY-5xs86

In the fast-paced world of business and achievement, we often measure success by numbers—revenue, profits, and accolades. But at the heart of it all, the true measure of wealth is far more personal and invaluable: our health. No amount of gold or success can replace the vitality of being physically, mentally, and emotionally well. It's a reminder to prioritize self-care, balance, and well-being in our personal lives and the workplace. As we pursue our professional goals, let's remember that a healthy body and mind are the foundation upon which all other achievements are built. Success begins with taking care of ourselves. 🌿💼 #Leadership #Wellbeing #SuccessMindset #HealthIsWealth #GandhiWisdom #WorkLifeBalance  #CBHub #IgorPipolo #CrossBorder #Ecommerce #CrossBorderLogistics Igor Pipolo Raffaella Calfat

🚀 Global E-commerce to Grow by 63% by 2029: Key Insights from Juniper Research E-commerce is booming! 🌍 According to the latest analysis by Juniper Research, global digital retail is set to reach $11.4 trillion by 2029, with 2024 alone expected to hit $7 trillion in transaction value.
