Free stuff for seniors
With the baby boomers now joining the seniors ranks in ever-increasing numbers, companies and their marketing people are keen to get their products in front of the cashed-up retirees.
And what better way to tap into that lucrative market than by giving away free samples and other promotions aimed at the demographic.
There are quite a few Australian sites offering freebies, samples and the like, but not surprisingly, now there’s one just for the over-55s: GreatDeals.com.au.
To get in on the site’s offerings — free samples, discounts, coupons, competitions, paid surveys, sweepstakes and other great deals — you need be 55 or older.
Thre site is free to join and you’ll receive emails and a weekly newsletter with all the latest deals. There’s no obligation to take up any of the offers you receive.
