Grandparents.com Added to ?Top 10? Commercial Websites for
Seniors,
Boomers and Grandparents
Young website ranks No. 2, behind AARP
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Grandparents.com,
the website acquired earlier this year by legendary rock manager
Steve
Leber and NY real estate developer Joseph Bernstein, announced
today
that the site has been ranked second to AARP among commercial
websites
for seniors, boomers and grandparents by Examiner.com.
Grandparents.com, which is also one of the top 10 family websites
for
females 50+, continues to be the web?s premier destination for
quality
content on the relationship between grandparents and their
families,
especially their grandchildren.
Steve Leber, Chairman, said, ?We are delighted to be at the top of
this
list with AARP. At Grandparents.com, we recognize that today?s
grandparents are young at heart, are active online, travel more
than any
other group, and are the largest and wealthiest group in the U.S. ?
70
million strong, and in control of 75% of the country?s wealth.
We
are now putting new focus on grandparents? lifestyles, health and
financial concerns, social interaction with other grandparents,
and
their desire to spend on their families, particularly their
grandchildren.?
Joseph Bernstein, CEO, added, ?With an investment of $20 million
since
the launch of grandparents.com, the site has grown to over 850,000
unique monthly visitors and 350,000 subscribers to our biweekly
newsletter. We will continue to grow by modeling our business
after
AARP, which was founded in 1947 and has the largest membership
group in
the nation, with 39 million subscribers. While AARP
focuses on a broad range of national and local issues relevant to
seniors, we will continue to complement AARP
by focusing primarily on the relationship between grandparents and
their
families. Next month, we will launch the Great American
Grandparents
Association (GAGA) to offer annual memberships to our
audience, so
that our members will also benefit from group insurance programs,
discounts and incentives provided by travel companies, financial
institutions, credit card issuers, retailers, restaurants, and
other
marketers that provide special benefits to groups and members of
associations.?
