A generation is people, who were born in 20 years. Now we have 3 generation in our country which are important for sales of curtain

The postwar generation (1943-1963). The American title is “baby boomers”because there was a demographic explosion

X-generation – «Pepsi-generation» (1963-1983).

Y-generation – "generation of social networks" (1983-2003).

Now the biggest generation is X-generation. It is gradually replacing the generation of baby- boomers, and now the X-generation is on leading posts.
But recently Y-generation has been doing more and more purchases. Adult sellers don't get used to it and often don't understand how to sell them effectively .
