Insights user experience
[email protected]Ý Contact: 123 456 789www.nextgeneration.com
• Watch out with health tips (experienced as “dangerous”).
• Tips should be practical and immediately applicable.
• Nostalgic tips work very good with this audience, users also like surprising facts.
• Tips should be short, visual and step by step.
• For short tips a picture or GIF with a little bit of information is enough.
• Video with different chapters is useful for more difficult tips.
[email protected]Ý Contact: 123 456 789www.nextgeneration.com
• No storytelling needed: tips should be described very practical, no superfluous information.
• Photos should be very clear, no extra filters or new information.
• The source isn’t relevant, they don’t need celebrities of storytellers.
• A feedback option can be interesting, but a ‘thumbs up’ or ‘thumbs down’ button will probably be good enough.

more useful.”Quote from Albert.

Silvers surfers don’t have that much
spare time.
[email protected]Ý Contact: 123 456 789www.nextgeneration.com
An online platform isn’t top-of-mind. A lot of users discover hobbies offline.
[email protected]Ý Contact: 123 456 789www.nextgeneration.com
The added value are the less obvious
hobbies (for example: drones, pilates, beer
brewing…)
[email protected]Ý Contact: 123 456 789www.nextgeneration.com
Users like curated lists:“hobbies with the grandchildren”,
“hobbies for rainy days”…
[email protected]Ý Contact: 123 456 789www.nextgeneration.com
Users see this platform as something they would visit once
(when they are looking for a new hobby).
[email protected]Ý Contact: 123 456 789www.nextgeneration.com
Testimonials convince people to try a new hobby.
[email protected]Ý Contact: 123 456 789www.nextgeneration.com
The added value of VRT is bringing inspiring content when it becomes very practical.

Insights user experience
[email protected]Ý Contact: 123 456 789www.nextgeneration.com
• Variation of different content types is important.
• They want the possibillity to react.
• A location based feature isn’t only interesting to find clubs or organistions, but also to find other people who have the same hobby.
• The users want to be guided to practical information.
• Short instructions are enough to guess if a hobby is something they want to try.
[email protected]Ý Contact: 123 456 789www.nextgeneration.com
Next Steps?
• There isn’t a basis for a permanent platform.
• They need inspiration, but only once. It could be an online part of a campaign about hobbies or spare time: start to hobby.
• New and original hobbies are a relevant topic for online content for this audience.

European destinations are popular.

Inspiration is a trigger to watch or read certain
content… but if they search something online
themselves, it is very practical information.

• Clear criteria to select a destination are important
• Searching for a category first and afterwards for a location, seems a good structure.
• Curated lists of trips are positively evaluated.
• Silver Surfers like longform video that are split in different shorter chapters• You can give more info with each chapter: for exemple location, website,
prices…
• Celebrities aren’t necessary online.

MUSTDO’S
VI
8 areas of concern for the Silver Surfers
[email protected]Ý Contact: 123 456 789www.nextgeneration.com
1. Think about elderly in user testsInterview 60+ before the launch of new products about the usability of your service or format.
2. Welcome buttonUsers don’t always get how your website works, a button where you can find a video thatgives an explanation, could be a resolution to this.
3. A better FAQFrequently asked questions can resolve the most typical problems. This page should beelaborate and up-to-date, good practice: http://www.bbc.co.uk/faqs
4. Community managementIt’s important to follow up the questions you get from the existing communities(Facebook, Twitter, mail, site…). Users can help to find and resolve problems in an earlystage.
[email protected]Ý Contact: 123 456 789www.nextgeneration.com
5. The ”I have news” buttonA button where users can share your local or breaking news
6. News explainedDifficult words can be explained with pop-ups.
7. Consistent look and feel for URLsDuring a radio or television program a lot of URLs are mentioned. If they always look thesame on the website, people will find them more easily.
