Offline advertising, encompassing traditional media such as print, radio, and television, plays a significant role in shaping consumer behavior across different age groups. For older generations, who grew up with these media forms, offline ads often evoke trust and familiarity, making them highly effective in influencing purchase decisions. Baby boomers and Gen X, in particular, respond well to advertisements in newspapers, magazines, and direct mail, associating them with reliability and credibility. Meanwhile, younger audiences, including millennials and Gen Z, while more digitally inclined, are still impacted by offline ads, especially when integrated with experiences such as events, outdoor billboards, and guerrilla marketing.
