Vibrant Nation has also added additional new “top 10” recommendation lists from women in Phoenix and across the country. 

According to Stephen Reily, founder and CEO of Vibrant Nation, the company began creating these profiles on the site to introduce Vibrant Nation members to other inspirational women and to help spark new ideas for living their best life. “Success after 50 is exactly what we want people to recognize in women through Vibrant Nation,” says Reily. “For many of these women, retirement isn’t on the radar. They view the second half of their lives as a launch pad for new endeavors. Women over 50 really deserve to be celebrated and as we have been looking for great examples across the country, we realized that we have many phenomenal women right here in Phoenix that we need to highlight.”

 

Vibrant Nation celebrates the independence, interests and potential of accomplished women over 50, giving them a forum to ask and answer questions from their peers, and connect each other to the best resources to get the most out of life. The concept began with the realization that there has never before been a group of women like this: Today’s women over 50 have more money and power — and are expected to live longer — than women of previous generations. Over a 10-year period ending in 2010, the 55 to 64-year old population will grow 48% with a significant female skew. In addition, consumers 50+ own up to 80% of the nation’s financial assets and control 50% of the discretionary spending, spending 2.5 times as much as younger consumers on a per capital basis. Nevertheless, marketers continue to under-recognize their value and potential.

“All of us know thriving women in their 50s and 60s who are starting businesses, joining friends for adventure travel overseas, managing their money, buying great-looking clothes and furnishing second homes,” explains Reily. “These women feel great about themselves, but you don’t see companies talking to them in a way that shows they understand them or the lives they lead.”
