When you say “a market”… • What is a market? • A market is group of prospective customers. (for our purposes) • How do we learn about our market? • Research its Demographics.
DEMOGRAPHICS • WHAT ARE THEY? • Descriptive characteristics of a market such as age, gender, race, income, and educational level. • WHAT ARE THEY USED FOR? • Basic characteristics to segment (break down) and find your target market.
Common Demographics • The following are the common demographics you will use the most: • AGE Categories: • Under 24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55+ • Gender • Race • Education Level • Income level
