Keywords in Portuguese
Consumidor idoso
Marketing de serviços
Serviços para idosos
Abstract in Portuguese
O mercado de idosos tem ganhado cada vez mais expressividade no contexto de consumo contemporâneo. Sendo assim, as empresas de serviços que atendem esse público-alvo devem desenvolver atividades de marketing específicas para alcançar este segmento de consumidores. Este trabalho teve como objetivo identificar quais são as atividades de marketing desenvolvidas e aplicadas por empresas de serviços que têm como público-alvo o mercado de idosos, mais especificamente moradias especializadas em idosos, e verificar se essas empresas seguem as propostas da literatura. Para atingir este objetivo, realizou-se uma profunda revisão da literatura sobre marketing de serviços e o mercado de idosos. Foi realizada, em seguida, uma pesquisa exploratória e qualitativa, que utilizou como método de pesquisa o estudo de casos múltiplos. Para a consolidação da pesquisa empírica, três empresas de serviço que atendem especificamente o público idoso - moradias especializadas - foram estudadas. Analisaram-se as atividades de marketing de serviços desenvolvidas por elas sob a luz da teoria de segmentação, posicionamento e composto de marketing para serviços - produto, processos, pessoas, preço, promoção, praça e evidências físicas. Foi possível concluir que as atividades de marketing de serviços não são elaboradas de forma estruturada, mas sim com base no feeling e na experiência de seus gestores, e que as empresas não possuem um direcionamento competitivo em relação ao desenvolvimento de suas atividades de marketing de serviços. No entanto, percebeu-se que algumas dessas atividades, ainda que desenvolvidas de forma intuitiva, em diversos aspectos corroboram a proposta da literatura.

Abstract in English
The elderly market has increasingly gained expression in the context of the contemporary consumer. In consequence, the service companies, which meet the intended target audience, should develop marketing activities in order to reach this segment of consumers. The objective of this study is aimed to identify what the developed and applied marketing activities are by the service companies who possess the elderly market as a target audience, specifically housing specialized for the elderly, and verify if these companies follow the proposals established in the literature. In order to achieve this objective, a profound revision of the literature in regards to marketing services and the elderly market was performed. Subsequently, an exploratory and qualitative survey was completed, which utilized the study of multiple cases as a research method. For the consolidation of the empirical survey, three service companies, which specifically serve the elderly population - specialized housing - were studied. It analyzed the activities of marketing services developed by them in the light of theory of segmentation, positioning and marketing composition for services - product, process, people, price, promotion, place and physical evidence. It was possible to conclude that the activities of marketing services are not elaborated in a structured form, and they follow the feeling and experience of their managers; consequently, the companies do not possess a competitive direction in relation to the development of their activities of marketing services. Nonetheless, it was possible to realize that some of these activities, even developed intuitively, in diverse aspects, corroborate the proposal of the literature.
