About 10,000 people in the United States will turn 65-years-old today. And tomorrow. And the day after. In fact, every day for the next 19 years there will be 10,000 more Americans reaching retirement age. The numbers are staggering and a major reason why retailers need to start taking notice.

Former "Today" show host Jane Pauley made a great point recently when she said that marketers were always taught to market to people 18-45 because that's where the boomers were.
