One huge, affluent segment of that demographic wields more spending clout than any other: Baby-Boomer women. Born between 1946 and 1964, these women represent a portion of the buying public no marketer can afford to ignore. With successful careers, investments made during the "boom" years, and inheritances from parents or husbands, they are more financially empowered than any previous generation of women. But what is it that will make these women spend their money on your products? Meet Mary Brown and Carol Orsborn, whose exclusive business it is to find out what makes Baby-Boomer women tick -- and buy.
