Not a priority: Instagram, TikTok – low share of the 50–60 age group

Real focus group insights: mindset and ad perception in Kenya

What works:

Natural ingredients = trust

People choose supplements made from natural ingredients: moringa, ginger, baobab
"I always check whether a product is plant-based. Chemicals cause allergies," says Grace, 56, Nairobi.
How to use: emphasize that the product is natural and safe for the body

Real stories, real people

Older audiences trust ordinary people more than "experts in white coats."
"When someone my age speaks, I believe them more than when a doctor advertises." – Marie, 55, Kisumu
How to use: Use photos/videos of local residents in your advertising.

Honesty and simplicity instead of promises

"If they promise too much, I don't believe them right away. It's better to see normal results," – Joseph, 58, Mombasa
How to use: simple and understandable texts without promises of "100% healing"

Language – English

"I like it when the text is in English, but sounds friendly, like in conversation" – Peter, 57, Nakuru
How to use it: simple English, warm tone, minimal technical terms, maximum humanity

Visuals and colors

"White and blue look clean and safe. Red is perceived as dangerous," – Lucy, 55, Nairobi
How to use: calm colors (white, green, blue), no aggressive colors

What doesn’t work:

Stock photos "If I see unrealistic photos, I immediately scroll past them," Samuel, 58, Mombasa
Fake “experts” and complex explanations
Lecturing tone – older people don't like being "told what to do."
Aggressive colors in ads

Recommendations from the focus group with locals:

Naturalness and humanity – core values
Real people in photos and videos
Live reviews
Simple English with a clear message
Light natural and calm colors
Honest promises without exaggeration
