Expanding Your Target Audience

Focusing solely on a product or service’s core audience can limit a brand’s growth potential.

  • The Role of Light Buyers: While light buyers purchase less frequently or in smaller amounts individually, as a group, they are essential for expanding market reach and driving brand growth.

  • Broad Reach: Brands grow by increasing their total number of buyers rather than relying solely on customer loyalty. Light buyers often make up a significant portion of a brand’s customer base, contributing to overall success even if their individual spending is lower.

  • Market Penetration: Reaching light buyers is crucial for growing your customer base. These infrequent purchasers often represent the largest audience segment and play a vital role in increasing your brand’s reach.

  • Mental and Physical Availability: To attract light buyers, brands should focus on making their products memorable and easy to access, ensuring they are considered when purchasing decisions are made.

  • Sustainable Growth: Light buyers create a stable revenue stream that supports long-term growth. Engaging this group requires fewer resources while providing consistent returns.


Recommended Targeted Sampling Approaches

Standard Market Targeted Sampling (Australia, New Zealand, and the US)

  • Target groups with an incidence rate of less than 50% within the total national representative sample can benefit from cost efficiencies.

  • Standard demographics include age, gender, and region but do not cover custom criteria.

Non-Standard Market Targeted Sampling

  • For other markets outside our National Representative audience, customers can apply additional demographic targeting starting from 8 credits.

  • Translations are not included in this service.
