| Customer GeoProfiling
--GeoProfiling customers allows you to determine who
they are, where they are, and study their lifestyles --
often called psychographics or clustering. Insight gained
from these profiles is used to locate other areas with similar profiles that are likely marketing targets.
While the demographics of a group may be similar, they
are quite different in terms of activities, interests
and opinions. The concepts of birds of a feather flock
together is at work here; you identify geographies that have
the largest concentration of this target "flock."
Demographics
-- Demographics allow you to
understand
the population in any geographic area: age, income, gender, family,
buying behavior, consumer preferences. Or understand the businesses in any
area: size, industry, employees, revenues. The goal of demographic analysis is
often to identify the demographic makeup of your target market, and find more market geographies with similar
demographic characteristics.
