SAARF AMPS Survey – What Is It? - 1 It is a grass-roots survey done in the homes of approximately 26 000 individuals nation wide every year People tell us about the things they do – and we report their behaviour, their media habits, the activities they take part in and in short it gives us a picture of South Africa It is conducted in the home language of each individual to ensure that the person understands the questions PaulPres 2002 11 05 14

PROVIDES OPPORTUNITY FOR MULTI-COUNTRY COMPARISONS PaulPres 2002 11 05 29

  30. Creation of an African forum to exchange ideas on research matters To ensure the highest quality in African media research Harmonization of results Continental data for Africa PAMRO Objectives PaulPres 2002 11 05 30

  31. Use of the established SAARF AMPS methodology across Africa Many marketers, media owners, agencies and research providers involved in more than one country Also demand for multi-country research The How And The Why Of PAMRO PaulPres 2002 11 05 31

  32. Annual meetings 1999 South Africa 2000 Ghana 2001 Kenya 2002 Zimbabwe 2003 Mauritius 2004 Maybe Cameroon/Lake Malawi or Senegal ? Achievements PaulPres 2002 11 05 32

  33. First official AGM in Mauritius 12 countries 71 registered delegates Growth in International Interest 2 UK, 3 USA, 1 French delegate Where Do We Stand in 2003? PaulPres 2002 11 05 33

  36. Market Segmentation Why the LSM? 1993/1995/2000 LSM New SAARF Universal LSM™ Contents PaulPres 2002 11 05 36

  37. What is market segmentation? It’s the task of breaking the total market (which is typically too large to serve) into segments that share common properties A market segment is a gross slice of the market such as high-income car buyers A market niche is a smaller, specially formed segment, such as high-income car buyers who want high-performance sports cars Market Segmentation - 1 PaulPres 2002 11 05 37

  38. Types of Market Segmentation: Demographic Geographic Life-stage Psychographic Behaviour Perceptions Usage Needs / Wants Socio-economic Multi-attribute etc. Market Segmentation - 2 PaulPres 2002 11 05 38

  39. The SAARF LSM is just one type of segmentation tool based on affluence, access and geographic indicators Because affluence is a very stable and dependable differentiator and the AMPS variables are particularly suited to this, this approach was retained in the design of the new SAARF Universal LSM Market Segmentation - 3 PaulPres 2002 11 05 39

  40. Some people tend to behave in a similar fashion Some people tend to behave in a different fashion from others Thus group people with similar behaviour together distinguish between people with different behaviour Why Classify People? PaulPres 2002 11 05 40

  41. The urban/rural debate Community size classification Lever Brothers’ experience UK and USA - realised importance of variables other than demographics - multivariate differentiators Technological developments - sophisticated hardware/powerful software Why Did We Develop The LSM? PaulPres 2002 11 05 41

  42. Human beings are complex – it is better to try and describe them by using a combination of variables LSM index developed to find the best combination of variables from AMPS Why Did We Develop The LSM? PaulPres 2002 11 05 42

  43. Develop an index whichdifferentiates better than any single demographic plus It must have broad application across the total market Must be simple to use, easy to link to other surveys Must be stable over time, but sensitive enough to register changes Main Aim Of The SAARF LSM PaulPres 2002 11 05 43

  44. LSM Variables Approximately 70 AMPS variables initially selected on logical grounds Only the 13 strongest ones finally included in the first LSM It was immediately evident that LSMs were stronger differentiator than any single demographic The Latest LSM – 29 variables PaulPres 2002 11 05 44

  45. Fridge/freezer No water or electricity Polisher/vacuum cleaner Non-Supermarket shopper No car in hh TV set Microwave oven 8. Rural dweller (not PWV & W.cape) 9. Hi-fi/music centre 10. No domestic worker 11. Washing machine 12. Sewing machine 13. Metropolitan dweller 1993 SAARF LSM Variables PaulPres 2002 11 05 45

  46. NEW SAARF UNIVERSAL LSM™ AUGUST 2001 PaulPres 2002 11 05 46

  47. In the design of the new SAARF Universal LSM a number of improvements have been built in: 1. To allow finer differentiation, the number of variables has been increased to 29 2. Variables have been carefully chosen to avoid biases being introduced and to ensure that they are universally applicable to all respondents New SAARF Universal LSM™ – The Improvements - 1 PaulPres 2002 11 05 47

  48. 3. The scale has been extended to 10 groups to allow finer segmentation 4. The groups at the top end of the scale from LSM 7 and up has been made smaller to allow finer segmentation of this important market segment New SAARF Universal LSM™ – The Improvements - 2 PaulPres 2002 11 05 48

  49. 5. As South African society develops, the groups can be extended beyond 10. This will obviate the need for a new LSM every now and then 6. This new feature of the design will enable trending from one year to the other, even when new variables are introduced New SAARF Universal LSM™ – The Improvements - 3 PaulPres 2002 11 05 49

  50. Electric stove/hotplate Microwave oven Flush toilet in house or on plot No domestic worker VCR in household Vacuum cleaner / floor polisher Traditional hut 8. 1/more sedan cars 9.
