Presentation Transcript

  1. Agros (aggregators) Passing on information is not a right, but a duty.

  2. We are the Agros • Parents of grown children • Age 45 and up • Educated • Upper middle income • Reside in suburban areas of large cities • Mostly democratic

  3. The tie that binds them • Agros are relayers of information, related to health, taxes, science, entertainment, your grandparents, and a plethora of other topics. • This information is primarily relayed to their grown children in the form of magazine or newspaper clippings, MAILED (not emailed) with a note. • The theory behind this is that their children have stopped reading forwarded emails from them because they do not care about “Fw: Fw: Fw; Girlfriends” or Powerpoint presentations of babies and animals sleeping. • Their children will however open mail from them, as there is always the possibility that it contains money, in the form of a check or a Starbucks giftcard.

  4. Agros: Their heroes

  5. Agros: The Look If they bought a present for you, it would most likely be from here This is what a backpack looks like to them

  6. Agros: They love the Docs They love Woody, and are willing to overlook the Soon-Yi fiasco. They also love Mia Farrow, so that was a huge step for them. They love any and all documentaries, as well as HG TV. They won’t admit it, but they also like American Idol. A model citizen. The Agros love her. They want their daughters to emulate her , and their sons to marry her. They also love this stuff.

  11. Conclusion: Living with the Agros They mean well, and should be respected. Open the mail, read the note, follow the advice, and for heaven’s sake, call your grandmother!!! It should be noted that Agros are mostly former hippies, preps, soc’s, mods, and jocks. So there are other layers to their way of life, but they’ve gone the way of the Dodo, sadly. When tipsy, your Agro mom might tell you about the time she dated her college professor, much to the chagrin of her parents, but this is rare.
