We have a national website that is the largest, most comprehensive website of its kind devoted to helping senior citizens. Our mission is to be a free resource for Senior Citizens regarding Medicare, Medicaid, Medigap policies, Discounts for Senior Citizens and other essential information for independent living. The baby boomer generation is so extensive that it can utilize the services of all industries. And in addition to senior citizens over age 65, we have a large number of members that are pre-senior baby boomers' that are in the 50-65 year old range who are about to begin their golden years and will need the services that current seniors are utilizing now. What we are trying to achieve is to expose all of our members to the services that your company can provide. From our research, the baby boomer generation reaching retirement age will be increasing for the next 20 years, and the opportunity to serve this growing demographic will be a tremendous source of business in the future. We are interested in forming a corporate alliance to enrich this population's life and assist a generation of people that now require all of our services. We are currently receiving a large number of inquiries from companies seeking to partner with us and are selective as to the companies we are seeking to align ourselves with. If you wish to be considered for inclusion in this alliance, wish to link our sites in a web partnership or would be interested in advertising via a banner ad, contact us at mark@FreeSCS.com.
