why we use socioeconomic status & family orientation

The two most powerful drivers of why different types of people choose to live in particular places are Family Orientation and Socioeconomic Status...

Family Orientation discriminates between family areas where there are kids, mortgages & large houses and non-family areas where young and older independent singles & couples choose to live. Family Orientation taps into lifecycle stage which is a key driver of needs across most categories.
Socioeconomic Status (SES) represents the combined effect of educational attainment, occupational status & income and is a key driver of the spending power and quality of purchases made by people to meet their needs. SES drives the price/quality trade-off that is often the most critical factor in brand positioning.

While psychographics influence consumer behaviour at the individual level, they tend to be overpowered in geospatial data by more powerful factors like spending power, cultural influences and established household expenditure patterns, which are all integral to Marketfind’s construction.

what’s in the Marketfind segments?

Marketfind incorporates the latest Census, population growth, household expenditure & economic patterns, usage of financial services, lifestyle and discretionary spending power. Through the wealth of Census data, Marketfind taps into cultural diversity and emphasizes differentials in key lifecycle stages across multicultural groups

cultural diversity & the aging population

We are currently witnessing a dramatic shift in the multicultural character of Australian consumers. Most recently, migrants from North & South Asia have had a substantial impact on the character of areas across the country, particularly in Sydney & Melbourne but also to a lesser extent across metropolitan Australia. Recent migrants from a diversity of multicultural backgrounds tend to be younger, while much of the growing boomer & retiree population is caucasian. Thus cultural diversity and lifecycle changes are intertwined as factors in the new Australian marketplace.

Marketfind is optimised to differentiate across the emerging multicultural landscape with 24 of the 56 Marketfind segments having a distinctive multicultural flavour to their character.
