"The western world's attitude to ageing has changed dramatically, and none of us has escaped the consequences. Even if you stand firm and let nature take its course, there'll be plenty of friends and colleagues who have no intention of doing likewise, so the landscape of ageing has changed for ever" - Sunday Times, 2 June 2006
"These individuals belong to one of the most affluent generations in history and are willing and able to pay for products that provide anti-aging benefits" (Freedonia market research).
The publication of ELIXIR follows the successful launch two years ago of www. elixirnews. com an online magazine devoted to rejuvenation and anti-ageing. It now has 20,000 unique visitors each month.
Editor and publisher, Avril O'Connor said: "Our readers are people who want to live life to the max - and our research shows they are not just so-called Baby Boomers. We know this is a subject of great interest because of the number of subscribers who have already signed on to receive our magazine who have commented: 'Why hasn't anyone done this before?" or "There isn't anything else like this on the market - it's fantastic and I can't wait to read it!"
O'Connor adds: "Not a week goes back without a new discovery in anti-ageing so it's a very exciting time to be alive and staying that way by being healthy with the added bonus that you will look and feel wonderful too. Interestingly we have offered the first issue free but the majority of our potential readers have opted for a subscription, which proves they have confidence in our delivery. We have also had substantial interest from both the largest and smallest advertisers."
