The thesis deals with the apprehension of homogeneity and heterogeneity of the senior consumer market and their impact on marketing. The thesis is mapping specification and characterization of the lifestyle and consumer behavior of the 55+ generation in the Czech Republic. It aims to determine the marketing potential of the target group. Typical views of elderly people in terms of the society and companies are based on analysis of MML-TGI data, secondary data research and own primary data using both qualitative and quantitative market research methodologies. Primary data are acquired by the face-to-face and on-line questioning, and carrying out through individual depth interviews. The marketing approach for seniors is recommended on the base of findings and conclusions resulting from both -- the methodological and analytical part of the thesis.

Enjeu important pour le marketing des seniors, le concept de bien vieillir demeure peu investigué par la recherche en marketing. Nous introduisons un nouveau concept, le Bien Vieillir Désiré (BVD), qui fait référence aux objectifs psychologiques, physiques, sociaux et financiers, poursuivis dans la quête du bien vieillir. Nous en proposons un modèle de mesure bifactoriel, fiable et valide, en quatre dimensions : le BVD général, le BVD physique, le BVD social et le BVD financier. Son influence est testée sur huit comportements de consommation relatifs aux secteurs suivants : alimentation, e-santé, chirurgie esthétique, loisirs, placements financiers, réseaux sociaux et sites de rencontres. L’échelle de mesure et un modèle global antécédents-manifestations-effets sont validés à partir d’un échantillon de 900 seniors âgés de 50 à 80 ans. Les résultats suggèrent le développement d’une nouvelle approche marketing des seniors : le marketing du bien vieillir. Son investigation et sa mise en œuvre sont ancrées dans quatre concepts clés : le BVD, le vieillissement perçu, les attentes d’ajustement au vieillissement et la consommation du bien vieillir. / Aging well is now a key stake for senior marketing, yet this concept remains little investigated by consumer research. A new concept is introduced in marketing research: Desired Aging Well (DAW), which refers to the psychological, physical, social and financial objectives, pursued in the quest for aging well. This research provides a reliable and valid bifactor measurement model for Desired Aging Well, in four dimensions: general DAW, physical DAW, social DAW and financial DAW. Its influence is tested on eight consumer behaviors related to the following sectors: food, e-health, plastic surgery, leisure, financial investments, social networks and dating sites. The Desired Aging Well scale and the overall antecedents-manifestations-effects model are validated on a sample of 900 French senior people aged from 50 to 80. The results suggest the development of a new marketing approach for seniors: aging well marketing. Its investigation and implementation are rooted in four key concepts: Desired Aging Well, perceived aging, adjustment to aging expectations and aging well consumption.
