From Boomer-specific internships to functional support beverages, this list of 50 Boomer trends in 2020 acknowledges the wide spectrum of the highly influential demographic.
2020 has been a tough year for all, but that didn't stop Boomer-specific innovations from coming through. At the top of this list, is the previously mentioned Boomer Internship, a program run by Thinkerbell which provides consumers over 50 with a five-week paid internship in the creative field. Other innovations include numerous health and wellbeing-related products. Some standouts include the Boomer-specific CBD companies, which focuses on helping those less comfortable with the substance better understand the benefits, while helping to differentiate it from THC strains. This year, CBD brand Boomer Natural Wellness partnered with pro golfer Brandt Jobe to help spread awareness for the benfits of CBD.
