About to start your start-up? Three things to keep in mind

Overview: "There is no such thing as a "one-size-fits-all" marketing plan; if you are going to market to Baby Boomers, lay out a plan to attract that market. If the senior market or Generation X is your target, then prepare a plan accordingly. My suggestion: Start with a target audience you are familiar with. Don't scrimp on researching each target audience that you may want to market. Also, very carefully select the location of your business. You want to be conveniently located for your market."
