March Breakfast Forum on Second Home Boom |
 |
| Peter Francese, a widely recognized
demographics and marketing expert, will discuss his research on the
second home boom phenomenon on March 12 at Cape Cod Community
College at the final event in the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce's
series of marketing workshops. The public is invited to attend. His
appearance was arranged by Cape Cod 2nd Home Journal, in cooperation
with the Home Builders Association of Cape Cod.
He will speak at 8 a.m., preceded by coffee and pastries at 7:30
and followed by a question and answer period.
Following the Chamber event and a coffee break, Cape Cod 2nd Home
Journal will present a 10:30 discussion by Francese on marketing to
the second home owner, also followed by questions and answers.
Francese, who founded American Demographics magazine, speaks and
writes frequently on consumer trends and customer behavior. His most
recent book, "Marketing Insights," was published in May of last
year. Francese has written two other books on how to more
effectively target consumer markets: 'Capturing Customers and
Marketing Know-How," and was the co- author of "Health Care
Consumers."
Attendees will hear why Cape Cod can expect its second home boom
to continue to grow, but at a faster rate than in the past, with an
impact that will force businesses and services to adjust radically.
"Every business and every resident will feel the impact" says
Francese. The coming of age of the baby boom generation, with their
combination of "big money and big numbers" is making the Cape's
second home market "white hot," he says.
