Leverage Social Media—but Choose Platforms Wisely
Posted: Tue Jun 17, 2025 4:13 am
While Generation X may not dominate TikTok, they are active on platforms like Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Instagram. They use social media primarily for news, family business owner database updates, professional networking, and product research.
How to Leverage This:
Facebook Advertising: Gen X is the largest active demographic on Facebook. Use targeted ads and community-building groups.
YouTube Video Content: Product tutorials, reviews, and explainer videos resonate with this audience.
LinkedIn Networking: Professional content, industry insights, and B2B campaigns work well here.
Instagram Visual Storytelling: Although less engaged than younger users, Gen X still responds to visual content when it focuses on family, home, travel, or personal interests.
Tip:
Authenticity is key. Gen X prefers meaningful, informative content over viral trends or meme-heavy advertising.
